Industrial Workers of the World founding member Lucy Parsons died on this day in 1942. A legendary labor organizer and socialist, Parsons' commitment to worker emancipation was never in doubt.

I hear they're introducing a 8 second goalkeeper rule, to stop them delaying the game? Maybe they should bring in a 2 minute VAR rule? Sort it in that time or go with the on pitch decision.

I don't think I've ever seen tulips before this enthusiastic at enjoying the sun.

If Trump was President in 1940

@beyond.radio My DAB radio has been saying 'Service not available' for you, for the last few days. Is it just me, or is there a problem?

RIP Henry Kelly. I hope this didn't finish him off.

seems reasonable

Since Donald Trump’s election, his opposition party hasn’t acted much like one. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders, who hit the road this weekend in red states in an effort to stoke pushback to Trump’s slash-and-burn plutocratic governance.

I hear Rangers have sacked their manager. I wonder if Sean Dyche has packed his suitcase for the trip north yet?

@beyond.radio I wish you'd covered the Dolly Blues match yesterday, rather than the Shrimps. I'd love to have heard commentary about what went on ;-) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Does anyone know any old jokes that whose meaning is lost due to the shift in cultural references? E.g. What is big and grey and shatters glasses?...

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

I got a new puppy but unfortunately my boyfriend is allergic to dogs so if anyone knows of a good home, he’s housebroken, 38, 6’2” and weighs 197 pounds. Papers included.

I gotta find this book. I hope my library has it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Happy Caturday!
