⚠️ The White House budget proposal would fully eliminate IMLS—the only federal agency for library services—in FY2026. This would gut access to information and opportunity, especially in rural areas. We can’t let this stand. apnews.com/article/trum... #FundLibraries

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I have been informed this individual on Discord has been claiming to be the creator of Suitor Armor and has been attempting to scam people claiming to be able to promote their comics for money. This is obviously not me and should this person reach out to you disregard them.

Hi, I'm @mek.fyi and for 9 years I've run the @openlibrary.org at @archive.org, where 11M patrons world-wide rely on us to preserve society's library books, many which can't be accessed elsewhere. 🎲 Markets, politics, employment could change: I pledge to keep Aaron Swartz's Open Library OPEN 📖. Why?

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

There's a quirk about American politics we're all missing, and we talk past each other because of it. Since the election of 2000, every contest has been so close that any theory that explains about 100,000 votes spread over 3 swing states can and does explain the outcome. Every theory is correct.

I need people to understand this kind of response would not have happened if people didn’t demand it. I cannot stress this enough. We need to be constantly vigilant and continue to push at every level of government.

On International Women's Day, remember all we women want is the same thing men want: safety, prosperity, independency, choice, equity. All we want is to be happy and to be free of violence. You know, standard human rights. Also trans women are women

I think this has been resurfacing bc it's only recently that I've heard it said "Anger is the part of you that knows you've been wronged," & I can't think of anything more heroic than doing something about it. Smash away, Hulk. Don't let anyone shame you for that. Betty will punch them for you.
