Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

#SaveThePCC Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease. For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below; you.38degrees.org.uk/p/princechar...

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science. The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people. The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID. He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind. Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

A small thing in light of this shitty news, but it would be lovely if today were the day this GoFundMe for TWIN PEAKS actor Carel Struycken and his wife, who lost their home in the Eaton Fire, reached its target www.gofundme.com/f/support-ca...

RIP David Lynch

david lynch had an insane aura

david lynch loves you

thrown into a boxcar by a bunch of freakish albino dudes with over-quaffed widow peaks. they are all looksmaxxed for each other. one is joylessly mewing as he slams the boxcar door shut. “tradcath phonk to luigi degens to” music blares over speakers outside. i will never see my family again.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be an embarrassing insect, the sort you don't want to go viral for hosting. Some kind of sex insect, for example

The Eaton fires destroyed a youth care facility my friend worked at. They had no time to pack, and everything is lost. Please help support them if you can. These children and teen were ALREADY vulnerable before the fires. www.gofundme.com/f/provide-ai...

“Top-up funding for performing arts courses, which are expensive to run, was frozen in 2024-25…in 20-21 it was already cut in half by Gavin Williamson” And this ONLY applies to specialist institutions. There is NO top-up funding for such courses in universities. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is a 19 year old who was in her second year of studies to become a pharmacist, she is now trying to complete them remotely. She is the oldest of four and her younger siblings Basma, Mazen and Nuha also lost their schools.

🚨Jeremy Corbyn MP has written to the Foreign Office to ask them to tell the truth about RAF Akrotiri and arms exports to Israel. "We deserve to know the full scale of our government's complicity and participation in genocide", he says.

I realized earlier today marks the 24th anniversary of my surviving a near fatal case of meningitis. If you can give to make sure Layan continues to make a healthy recovery, it would mean a lot. Fidaa and her family just lost a beloved pet, too. There is no shortage of suffering in the world. 💔

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla

This killed me lol

I don't think we are supposed to individually prepare ourselves 3x meals a day every day for our whole lives I think we're supposed to have community and sharing

i do unfortunately love my stupid cat so much i’ll buy anything that looks like him

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

Not paying for a knob, not 3D printing a knob, but a secret third thing

It's an excellent time for a quick look at a network of 32 content farm accounts that have been attempting to build an audience through "fun" image posts (and good old-fashioned bulk following), apparently in order to sell random crap on Amazon.

not to mention confuse, overwhelm, commodify and dismay us...

mrw when some tech bro bozo with carpal tunnel & a fucked up neck starts ranting about how sex workers are selling their bodies:

Israel has been quietly financing UK parliamentary staff, Declassified has found. This comes after we revealed that one in four British MPs had accepted funding from the Israel lobby. www.declassifieduk.org/how-israel-f...

72 years ago, MI6 and the CIA overthrew Iran's democracy. British officials wanted "a non communist coup d'état" in Iran to install a "dictator" who would promote UK oil interests, declassified files show. www.declassifieduk.org/iran-1953-mi...

AaaaAAAA

I just want to point out that fascisim is, among other things, weaponized nostalgia. Which means that if you have any hobby that has a nostalgic aspect, be aware that you probably have some fascists hanging about. Knitting, sewing, fountain pens, history buffs, gaming? Yep, all them.
