NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

@jessicaturtle.bsky.social @ourmoh.bsky.social you are a superstar 🌟
Hugely deserved round of applause for your personal and powerful keynote contribution at the @homelesslink.bsky.social conference.
πŸ’“ Powerful takeaway that ending homelessness needs to be more about love than rules.

The only way to counter the far right is to improve living standards and public services

A massive load of stacks of logs in a thames lighter Barge galley

A massive load of stacks of logs in a thames lighter Barge galley

I hucked in all these logs across the moorings yesterday bc @mattturtle.bsky.social has a bad back, usually we do it together. Its half a tonne total so I feel suitably proud.

I caught up with the last couple weeks of @404media.co whilst I did it. Highly recommend subscribing to those guys.

I see that Trump is a feminist hero now, in a move from gender criticals that is entirely expected.

There was a seal playing in the Thames this morning. Combined with this sunrise, as me and @mattturtle.bsky.social step off the moorings and back to the museum, it feels like the week should have blessings in it.

Wishing everyone a good one 😊

No worries. I went and met them all when they were working on the show and the vibes were genuine
The finished show was very high quality as well and not in a community gallery but the main museum galleries for contemporary art.
