Driving past a hobby lobby and yelling IT SHOULDVE BEEN YOU!!!! out the window

Amen to that.

This is a great idea. I won't buy ANYTHING on Feb. 28. Anyone else in? 👇

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, Inc. Mood, opossum pal. (She's fine. She'll be monitored and then released shortly.)

I feel like this isn’t making as big a splash as it should— but then, all the news is huge and bad right now

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

We're not giving up our parks to developers and con men. Get in this fight and help us defend our parks. Follow, retweet and repeat @altyellonatpark.org

Dolly also founded The Imagination Library, which mails 2 million books a month to kids, and helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine. Happy birthday to a great humanitarian!!!

I bring up Aaron Schwartz whenever people tell me they don’t understand why LLM ai is bad. If a kid who wanted to share open access got the book thrown at him, then corporations should not get a free ride.

Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3? #NeverForgetJanuary6th

No person shall [...] hold any office, civil or military, under the US [...] who, having previously taken an oath [...] as an officer of the US [...] to support the Constitution of the US, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof

@piperformissouri.bsky.social shares an all-too-familiar story about who gets the credit when women do the work. Been there. jesspiper.substack.com/p/citation-r...

If the holidays seem unbearable, call these folks before making any permanent decisions.

I will post this everyday for the next 4 years as a reminder that Jan 6th was a day of insurrection.

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Sadly, it’s a good time to once again share this amazing infographic that we ran at @science.org more than 7 years ago 🧪 #IDsky www.science.org/content/arti...

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

I keep hearing news sources talk about how disturbing it is that this assassin is being hailed as a hero in mainstream, non dark corners of the internet. And yes, it’s a little scary. But I’d love to hear more analysis of how our broken healthcare system led to this radicalization of the normies.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Posting this, for no reason.

Trans people are people and deserve full human rights. As a librarian, I aim to make libraries a safe place for the people who need one most. I am a cis-het middle aged financially comfortable white lady. If you need someone to throw their entitlement around on your behalf, come sit by me!

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. (1 of 20) #booksky

this is your annual reminder that ocean spray, the cranberry company, is a member-owned co-op that is obligated by their charter to buy their farmers' entire cranberry crop at higher than market prices! so buy your cranberries this week from ocean spray!
