I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

The only thing that will help in these horrific times is validating and celebrating our shared humanity in the face of ongoing harm. This from the NEH is just not it.

Woke up in the middle of the night incensed about this. It’s bad for research & scholars. It’s also outright bigoted and so horrifically shameful for NEH to capitulate and effectively endorse this unscholarly, unfounded, hateful crap. This invalidates anything they DO fund now.
