College is just as much about learning how to form relationships as it is about academics. The friends I made on Day 1 of freshman orientation almost 19 years ago are still my chosen family. The thought of outsourcing friendship to an AI bot is horrendously depressing at best, terrifying at worst.

BELOW: How Chicago feels about kings.

OH MY GOD THEY ACTUALLY DID THE THING!!

Oh YES, Michael B Jordan!!!!!

Nope. Nope. Nope. I Lied To You should have won. That song was transporting.

Oh thank god, Sinners won Best Score, I don’t have to kill anyone.

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking” Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

LOUIS!! 😍

ICE NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED. IT CAN’T BE REFORMED.

Kristi Noem after her press conference. @bluthquotes.lucille2.com

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

SOLD.

Husband: “Here‘s a bunch of video game suggestions you might like!” Me: *restarts Horizon series for the umpteenth time* (Tbf, Horizon was one of his initial video game recommendations, so…it’s not like I never take his suggestions!)

I live near Chicago, and I feel calm and prepared watching this video (we are not getting any snow)

Fobazi’s writings on vocational awe revolutionized how I viewed my entire career. This is such a profound loss for the library profession.

YAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!!! I. AM. READY.

"Don't say forcing children into hiding to avoid being taken and sent to detention camps is like the Holocaust, that's degrading it," says party who historically calls letting pregnant people deciding whether or not they want to give birth a Holocaust.

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today: 1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice 2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime. 3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

This fascist asswipe needs to be tried and imprisoned for the rest of his miserable life. But this is a small start.

Read the rest of the thread too

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

You know, say what you will about America... thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice.

I’m going to start a HOH protest…Hands Off Hoerner!!

I’m just hoping no one decides to make a horror movie version of Animal Crackers, because that seems to be the trend with public domain stories

I’m a librarian, so media literacy/information literacy is something I’m deeply interested in and concerned about. And we absolutely need more resources to help navigate all of *gestures wildly* this mess

Say what you will about America, 13 bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice.

Remember when it was just a given that Nazis and Nazi symbols were fucking abhorrent to 99.999999% of the American population?

Never got far enough in Archer to have seen this, but I love Archer and I love Arrested Development!

Sometimes I think the best book reviews come from readers who don’t normally read a particular genre/subgenre! But seriously, RED WIDOW and RED LONDON are so good!!!!! Especially on audio!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My late cat Gilbert will live on forever because he is listed as an attendee in the meeting notes for a virtual library board meeting during the pandemic. Pets should be officially documented like this more frequently!

He's on a mission from God.

I finally saw the Northern lights! Photos are edited, but I still got a good view of them through my camera!

”Lucy promised she wouldn’t pull the football away this time”

Thank god

I had the teensiest bit of faith that Durbin would stand for something principled now that he’s not up for reelection. What a gutless shell of a man

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

I have been diagnosed as not having ADHD, but the executive dysfunction is still strong in this one, and this take is 1000% accurate. It’s like trying to shove your way through a brick wall, or attaching weights to your limbs every time you tell yourself you need to do the dishes.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” is precisely the level of petty I desire to see from the Democrats.

Surprised he heard about it.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored. Period.

Me in ICE
