I love everything about my library from its children’s section to its dvd collection, book sale room, beautiful physical space and welcoming community feeling. Bonus is being able to request books from the larger system.

Don’t look away from the needless death being inflicted around the world by the Trump/Musk shutdown of USAID. Even if the federal courts ultimately save the agency, thousands of people will have died in the meantime. Because of a billionaire’s spite, sadism, and paranoia. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

I know a bunch of you have Substacks and while I support you with all my heart, we've known for a while that these guys are right wing dipshits. If you're looking for a non-fash alternative, Ghost is a non-profit and even has a cool horror sounding name! And its not run by right wing dipshits!

So saddened by the news about David Lynch. Alongside his incomparable genius as a filmmaker, a measure of his influence on music is the wide range of artists who covered, in very different ways, the Lady in the Radiator Song. I made a thread of them here 👇 RIP
