She/her, librarian, very progressive liberal, loves dogs and cats, video games, horror movies, great TV and the philosophy of consciousness. Sorry, not interested in romance, crypto or get-rich-quick schemes. LGBTQ+ ally. Kindness is my love language
One of my friends is having real troubles. If you feel moved to contribute to her cause (she's a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, for sure) then please visit her GoFundMe at gofund.me/3d0c63f52. No pressure, but thank you so much!

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.
I love you guys. This is exactly the energy we need at this point in history, and thank you so much.
Absolutely. He's a perfect representative for the movement!
I'm sorry that's happening to you and others. It's a complex situation and one that no one here can do much about except at the highest levels of government. Certainly you are not responsible for it. Logically, the offending leftists are more responsible for Trump than you are for Netanyahu.
A messy desk strewn with books and notes, with a rare book in a cradle in the center.
Sometimes bibliography looks like this, and by extension, rare book cataloging. 4 OCLC records, 3 secondary sources, flashlight for watermarks, etc: all to determine that our copy of “Cryes of London” is from 1689, from the fifth edition, first impression: 📜 #bookhistory #booksky #libsky #rarebooks
You look both ready and FABULOUS!
“How are things going in America?”
Please feel free to repost it ANYWHERE. :)
Please tell your dog I said Hi :)
I think of my old psych professor who told us “some things you never get over, you just get through. “
We may not ever get over that this catastrophic regime, but we will get through it.
Only together can we do this.
Every time you complain about DEI you demonstrate why it was originally necessary and why it is still necessary now. Inside your head (and only inside your head) women are weak and emotional minorities are stupid and unqualified disabled people are leeches and loafers. Only white men are qualified. Many people think like you do, casual bigotry that dares not speak its name and hides behind platitudes that help no one. This is why DEI and Affirmative Action are needed: to counter prejudices like yours to give equal chances to everyone even if you don’t think they deserve them. You are the reason DEI was created. You are the reason it is still necessary. You are the problem personified. -Tess Gibson

You can put either of these bumper stickers on your car...
"YOU'RE IN A CULT"
or
"HE'S INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT, AND A RAPIST."
and EVERYONE will know exactly what you're talking about.
Odd, huh.
Best part:
If they confront you...
You get to ask them how they knew what it was about.
👇🏻👇🏻
Seconded.
You're absolutely right. And then kids grow up just thinking there's something wrong with them, with no frame of reference about how they are beautiful, special and not the only ones of their kind.
KCMO passed an ordinance this spring to fund KCATA, but KCATA appears to have failed to comply with the contract for funding from the city, and now may be out of money in 2 weeks.

Well, THAT sucks :(
Petty cheating at golf is a window into his rotted soul.
The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:
I’ve bought a ton of books because of bsky! Almost all from authors who post interesting or fun stuff here, or recommended by people who post interesting/fun stuff. Haven’t kept count but easily over 20 books discovered here alone.
Yep, it's a little bit chilly! :)

Tom Lehrer was always one of my favorites and I don't see that changing ever.
If you wear your sunglasses inside, people will secretly think you're super cool. Optometrists hate this one simple trick!
