Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

The TLDR version: librarians are not ok, and here is why. #Libraries #Librarians #MentalHealth #SocialServices #BookBans #Censorship bookriot.com/the-state-of...

Hello. Today was terrible. Have a photo of my cuddling cats as a timeline cleanse.

Mine is that the cats keep jumping up on it.

Expecting libraries and other services for the public god to “turn a profit” “or spend less to save money” is a sign that something has gone seriously wrong with the understanding of why these services exist!

yeah, I’m not in the “teaching people responsibility” business, I’m in the “getting books and materials to people because that’s what libraries are for” business 📚

Ending 2025 by getting my Covid vaccine. It’s such a simple thing to do to keep yourself and others safe!

at the advice of a friend I've started a GoFundMe for some assistance so I can get my head back together into something of a semblance of a person. any help would be greatly appreciated. shares are awesome. gofund.me/befc9a465

Why, yes, I did have a good Christmas. Why do you ask? #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday

“If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary? “If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder.”

I just finished reading this and it is excellent. Highly recommend! Love the #autistic representation.

But, like, I *do* speak Middle English. So choosing it wouldn’t be incorrect.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

There is still beauty in this world.

I agree with Marit Stiles. Doug Ford and his government are corrupt.

“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

two things are true: 1) we don’t come between parents and children. 2) we don’t help parents come between children and books.

Love this so much. 💜

100% this.

For this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits I have my most recent FO: the Agnete Cardigan by Petite Knit in Kid Silk Haze and Cascade Heritage. A gift knit for my mum and first time with brioche. Cat-approved.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

No you know what people who will say things like "I use ChatGPT to DO MY JOB" with their whole ass SHOULD be publicly embarrassed like this

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

This is worth reading.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I hate gay Halloween what do you mean you’re an uncataloged book someone tried to rebind with duct tape

Once again, when governments fail their citizens, libraries step into the breach.

Happy national Black Cat Day from this little goofball.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

Boycott the United States. Fuck Trump.

There are just so many smart people out there. Read this thread

Absolutely love this take.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

A wonderful article about a wonderful person. Mychal, I’m so glad you decided to stay! I know you will make LeVar Burton proud.
