Just finally deleted my Twitter account, sayonara bots and weirdos! #eloncantripandfallintoanactivevolcano

They brought the Teslas to the White House as budget negotiations are happening in Congress and as the Trump administration announced 1,300 layoffs at the Department of Education. Peep the distraction and don’t fall for it.

Anais Nin's library in her Wright abode #libraries #books #interiors #wright #gonereadin'

For Women's History Month, may we all remember and summon the courage of Rachel Carson, who wrote Silent Spring to inform the world what DDT was doing to the songbirds, raptors,and by extension, us. While battling cancer, she stood her ground against savage attacks by the chemical industry...

These dum dums keep referencing Caesar and Napoleon, it's as if they don't know what happened to them...

“And what it really does is — the reason we call it a silent coup — was [because] barely anyone knows about this stuff. This is an international system that was consciously set up to put to bed the democratic movements which had arisen after the Second World War, and barely anyone knows about it”

My public library has a SEED LIBRARY where you can check out seeds for your garden! Such a great idea for people to grow their own food and try new varieties. #defendthepubliclibrary #libraries #ilovethelibrary #library #oregon

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

Elon sure is desperate for a date...

Tribal Nations across the U.S. have been impacted by federal funding freezes & the firing of staff at BIA, BIE, and IHS. These actions undermine tribal trust and treaty responsibilities. We ask the Administration to take immediate action to halt, exempt, and reverse these actions.

When I say, "let's go out for a drink".

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Mary Ann Brown Patten (1837-1861) was the first known commander woman of an American merchant vessel. Her husband Joshua was captain of the merchant clipper ship Neptune’s Car. When he collapsed from fatigue in 1856, Mary Ann took command for 56 days.
