This is how you know that it's not about the money. Because if it were, then libraries would not keep being defunded.

So... what's everyone's favorite public library & why? My favorite is the Burlington County Library in NJ (welcoming, nice cafe, huge selection, tons of resources, comfy areas, & daily FotL Book Sale), w/ the Bordentown NJ Library coming in honorable mention bc they have the absolute nicest staff.

I’ve been trying to articulate this forever and this quote says it perfectly. Real hope isn’t passive, it’s active. But it’s also worth remembering that action doesn’t always mean sweeping change or grand gestures. Small choices count too. What a fabulous woman Dr. Goodall was. RIP.

"(Hitler's) feeling for men is not that they co-exist, but that they are capable of being arranged and standardized by a superior intellect...." - E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web An insistence that power should follow "superiority" is essential to fascism. www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

I had a great conversation about this phenomenon with some sociologists at ASA once. A colleague took me to task for failing to see how they KNOW the reference. They aren’t misreading literary references — they are wielding them to demonstrate their power to shape our ethics.

good morning bluesky friends ❤️

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

"Our actions are working, and they are not enough. Nothing we do is sufficient, and everything we do matters. We must be strategic, and we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously. Time is of the essence, and we have to act for the long haul. This is how change happens." Dan Berger

Good morning, Happy Friday to all those who celebrate. Do something nice for yourself today, eat something delicious, hug your loved ones, plan something kind for the version of you who wakes up tomorrow. 💙

Virtually all countries have had universal health care for their citizens, as shown below. As a result, most of them have longer life spans, lower infant mortality, and other measures. There's really nothing except stubborn resistance from America's docs & drug makers stopping us. #ProudBlue

surviving these motherfuckers through the power of art

Such a lovely and important thread.

Finally sitting down after a long day of book scouting in NJ. Visited Friends of the Library book sales at Burlington County & Cherry Hill Libraries. I was able to find my local book shop a dozen #books for their shelves, but I admit, I took home many more for my own #library. #BookSky

Leaked footage from inside an ICE detention facility near Houston. No beds, no bathrooms, hundreds of men, women, and children in one combined cell/room. They are kept in freezing conditions.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

The Empathy Within (8 Photos) From a quiet street in Glasgow to a sunlit wall in Madrid, these artworks remind us that empathy still lives in the small, shared moments between strangers. Each piece captures kindness — a helping hand, a warm glance, a soft connection to nature. Together, they…

5000 people have signed up to run for office with @runforsomething.net in the last week. Between the election wins & the shutdown fury, we’re taking that momentum in to 2026.

This is an amazing, and eye-opening, thread. 👏

The same crowd yelling “lock her up” spent decades shielding predators and playing dumb. 🚨 NEW: House Democrats just released emails where Epstein wrote Trump “spent hours at my house” with one of his victims—plus messages showing Trump knew a lot more than he’s ever admitted.

I got a very moving Ask about avoiding defeatism on the forbidden website, and I wanted to share it because it's something I believe very strongly

It's another book scouting day in NJ! Today, I'm visiting the Cherry Hill Library for their huge Friends of the Library Book Sale. I highly recommend checking out your local libraries for these events. Books are usually $1-$3 and the proceeds help fund the libraries' community programs. #BookSky
