I went to the Science Museum yesterday and as well as having a ball with my nearly four year old in their amazing child spaces (god love free London museums) I was utterly charmed by this caption.

Dolly would never. Dolly would take your hand in both hands, say "Honey, I love you just as God made you," and you would tear up about how kind she was without ever knowing how sick of a burn it was she had just laid upon you.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

On this day, I pledge to all of you that I, as a librarian, will not abandon the ethics of my profession. I will stand up to book bans. I will not censor myself ahead of time. And I will do my best to get books into the hands of the people who need them. Whoever you are, whatever books they are.

Lately, when I'm annoyed with people, I've started singing "that's a human person" a la History of the World on Youtube, and it makes the annoyance go down. Not a lot. But some.

If you want to be doing something more often, regularly and consistently, underestimate your object permanence. Whether it's exercising or playing an instrument or what, make it as easy as possible for you to do whenever.

“…the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.” People cite this essay for its central idea, but it’s also damn good writing.

There's actually an appendix in Let This Radicalize You about what to do if the feds come to your door, written by a movement lawyer (along with an appendix section on treating pepper spray and tear gas exposure), but yes, the short version is plz shut the fuck up. Never talk to them w out a lawyer.

Does your business use Bench.co for bookkeeping or taxes? Today, they announced their closure, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. Plz reSkeet this info widely. 1000s of small business don't yet know we must scramble through year-end and tax season without the back-office support we counted on (and paid for).

It continues to amaze me a little bit that public libraries exist, and offer SO MANY free resources, and you can support them by... using those resources. Like surely I'm getting away with something here

I used to have a hard time doing this (it felt presumptuous to me), until multiple librarians I'm friends with told me that requesting stuff makes their jobs easier. They have budgets for acquisitions, and if users don't request enough things, they're left guessing what people might want.
