@morgandawn.bsky.social Do you know any archiving folks in related fields?

@faineg.bsky.social I'm starting to feel like we need to collectively create a series of children's books called "[Place] Is Big!" and insist that they be filed in the travel section instead of the children's section.

Deep in a small village, Hyun Sook and I found this 96 year old pavilion that was built as a secret spot for locals to illegally read all the Korean literature and poetry that was banned under Japanese occupation. It's literally a Banned Book Clubhouse!

A side note: If you’re in one of the states that would rather kill you than let you have self-determination, and you took a drug? NO YOU DID NOT. Do not admit to it. There’s no test for Mife or Miso. (and in those states, do your damnedest to use oral route, not vaginal insertion.)

I've made a little video to lure people to my page with links about medieval hygiene. The article is here: fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/11/26/a... youtube.com/shorts/uzzG_...

Hey #Seattle! Support our Baristas. You can join a picket line or, you know, just stay away from Starbucks. There are tons of small, locally-owned coffee shops you can switch to until Starbucks agrees to treat their workers fairly.

Had therapy today. It really sucks to work out the flow chart of your own mind and see how much of it is dedicated to invalidating your own feelings 😮‍💨

From me and @authorsabb.bsky.social, call your rep today and tell them to vote NO on HR 7661 It's a bigoted book banning bullshit bill and we don't need it.

Oh my god, 100% to this

One of the best. Her deep dives are incredible and she knows the ins & outs of the SEO driven editorial culture to boot. Britt is the level of talent you make a place for rather than wait for a vacancy and hopes she's available.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I just managed to give myself a fat lip while brushing my teeth 😂

Please. I am begging. DO. NOT. DO THIS.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Robert Francis is one of 210 people given a second chance after the state's highest court ruled that those under 21 can’t be sentenced to life without parole. Over the past 6 months, he's navigated finding work, using new technology & building a life in a society that he was removed from as a teen.

Let's catch up on the hilarious Afroman defamation trial: defector.com/lets-catch-u...

"Are politicians ultimately here to get themselves elected, or are they here to try to help their communities. Some may argue that you have to get elected first in order to help the community. Kat dared to ask, why not both?"

And more from Dolores Huerta: "I have never identified myself as a victim, but I now understand that I am a survivor — of violence, of sexual abuse, of domineering men who saw me, and other women, as property, or things to control."

On this day in 2011 was the "Friday of Dignity," in SYRIA. Thousands of people protested across the country against the abuses and corruption of the Assad regime. Everywhere from major cities to small villages saw anti-Assad Syrians risk their lives and freedom to protest.

HOT OFF THE PRESS: worker-owner @nicolefroio.bsky.social went long on children's rights and how they intersect with feminism:

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Rainy days are hard for signature collecting, but great for curling up with a book.... Thanks to the Silver Unicorn bookstore in Acton, however, you can do both! @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social has some signature forms to help me get on the ballot

Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

"Hi, I am running for Congress and I need signatures to get on the ballot..." "Can you help..." "Spare a second for democracy?" "Hi, good morning, cute dog-" *Dozens of people walk by, aggressively pretending I do not exist*

So in today's #DnD session, I rolled a nat 20 athletics to rescue my actual crush/fake fiancée from perceived drowning and then ANOTHER nat 20 performance check to make the rescue dramatic. Per the DM, I "out-Fabio'd" the ship's captain (who is also my fake fiancée's partner; it's complicated).
