If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

I know you’re going to tell me that I’m an idiot but I really am surprised that my former friends who became Musk fans aren’t waking up to reality right now.

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.

SV Darmstadt's ultras hold a banner commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, while also reminding that rejecting the far right is a current task rather than one that belongs in the past. "80 years of being free from fascism. It's everyone's duty to keep it that way!"

The fact that this exists around us but we got stuck on this stupid planet with a bunch of man babies trying to work out their grievances is just so annoying.

If you find yourself reconsidering where to buy your books in light of Target ending DEI, don't forget your local independent bookstores! I'll happily spend a bit more, and wait a little longer for my pre-ordera #booksky #target

One thing I am absolutely loving on #Bluesky is all the support for libraries and their critical role in keeping our society free and educated. I was raised in a family of librarians and have served on the Board of our local Friends group for 6 years. It warms my heart to see library love.

Just a reminder. The library is free to use. Free to check out books and DVDs. Free to take your kid to Story Time. Free to ask a question. Free to sit quietly for a minute. Or an hour. #supportyourlocallibrary

Am watching the Roosevelts documentary by Ken Burns and Geoffrey Ward, and highly recommend it to watch right now It is at once showing the amazing things we’re capable of as a nation with a government that works for the people, and those same old forces of fear (and the uber rich) dragging us back

Even if you don't go often, please support your local libraries and get a library card 📚 having more patrons can help protect them from budget cuts. It's important to keep literature and information easy to access, now more than ever. #booksky #reading #library

I just saw the 2025 US banned books list. I just want to say, go read books. Talk about them. Share them. And please write them. While many of these books will still be published, they do become less accessible when removed from libraries Be a book punk. Read them all

I need to introduce my 12 year old to logical reasoning. He makes pretty fallacious arguments all the time, as kids tend to do. Need to find a good philosophy book for kids.

I have been "persuaded" that I must get rid of some books to create shelf space. Thus far all I have managed is a handful of books that I was given as gifts decades ago and had no real interest in reading then or since. Even then it's viscerally painful. Is there a support group for this suffering?
