I would want to too!

Ummm Geno you lost in several ways tonight #FinalFour

Got these used, illustrated math dictionaries from Thriftbooks and they came in handy for 4th grade homework tonight

I also miss the streetcar 😭

For the record: I do miss Twitter

Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology. Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.

This is a really great start of an overview of the complex mess that is library eBook lending. One that would be good as part of an email to your state legislators to seek legal change in your state. Wink wink. Nudge nudge. 📚 www.wordsandmoney.com/librarians-s...

Last ride on the streetcar. I know most people thought it was a waste, but I loved it. Smooth ride, free, spacious, big sunny windows. I used it frequently to get around. I will miss it.

Trump fired every member of the Biden-appointed CFA this autumn, only to install his own ballroom-friendly commission in January. Apparently the new CFA is fine with gigantic parking structures as long as they’re ’beautiful’

Shame on Mendelson for saying this after ramming the deal through with no regard for detail. Hundreds of people signed petitions and sent literally thousands of emails during the Council’s deliberation urging them to reduce and relocate parking, and add a new metro station. He didn’t listen.

And frankly, if there isn't, then the entire society and government we've got is bad and we need to start over

There have to be ways to hold companies liable for harm that don't invoke ageism, puritanical views of 'acceptable' content, or straight up fascist 'show me your ID' digital surveillance.

ID laws like this one will destroy communities

Snowcrete melts into nasty trash at RFK parking lots

you will be missed, dear streetcar 51st.news/streetcar-h-...

On tomorrow's episode of Movement Memos, I will be in conversation with @prisonculture.bsky.social and organizers Alison Macrina and Katie Clark about why defending libraries is essential in this fascist moment.

Re Chavez: Thread for sexual assault survivors/victims (however you see yourself is ok!) and people supporting them today. Here are some things that I think are useful. I am not an expert, just someone who has been navigating being public about my experiences, including in media interviews. 🧵

I appreciate Blue Sky for not being affiliated with billionaires, but I just do not get the same quality updates from/about Middle East/Southwest Asia folks that I get on that other app, which is full of videos of Israel destroying Lebanon *again* & the *continuing* genocide in Gaza/Palestine

Hello from this new baby leaf unfurling from my plant that almost died last year, but my friend resuscitated. Shes (the plant) is doing so well in post recovery

And the same goes for progressives in NGOs, think tanks, government agencies, and really any institution

My trash talk continues. Our public waste problem is quickly becoming a public health problem.

#KingmanPark + nearby neighborhood friends: family storytime is BACK at Rosedale Library!!! Wednesday mornings at 10:30 in the recreation center nextdoor 📚 dclibrary.libnet.info/event/16064973

Very cool. I am a fan of this website.

It was a drug rehabilitation hospital. Just terrible.

What a shameless cop-out. Take some responsibility. High level US officials do not get to just blame Israel. Y'all knew.

200 books are being moved from their appropriate spots in YA and youth sections into the adult section in Rutherford County Public Libraries (TN). This is to appease book banners and the Secretary of State, who demanded removals based on Trump EOs. It's still a ban. fox17.com/news/local/r...

YES THIS IS THE ANSWER thank you @chenderson.bsky.social

Casey Trees cherry blossom map has arrived! So many beauties right here in Kingman Park 😍 🌸 experience.arcgis.com/experience/9...

Put this in my newsletter news.chanda.science/archive/a-wa...

Now added to the long list of closings along Benning Rd. between 15th and Oklahoma St NE: - Safeway at Hechinger Mall (closes May 16th) - 7/11 at 25th (closes March 31st) We've lost CVS, dollar tree, soon losing the Streetcar But we're getting a stadium Is this what dispossession looks like?

Interlibrary loan for the win today! It got me a copy of Habermas, Islam, and theorizing the “Other”, by Matt Sheedy, which was recommended by Asad AbuKhalil over on that bird app. philpapers.org/rec/SHEHIA-2

And to think I chose a midlife career change into libraries for stability... 🫠 (*not the only reason)

Susan Abulhawa is one of my favorite authors. Mornings in Jenin gutted me. Against the Loveless World showed me hope amid horrifying devastation.

I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX. And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.
