France passes law on the restitution of cultural artifacts looted during colonial rule

the last frontier of discrimination that most leftists find wholly acceptable

Good morning! Woke up to a text that made me incandescently angry so now i’m stuck on the couch with the cat delaying going to work. Hope you’re doing better.

A brown recluse also bit my piece of shit ex boyfriend in high school so maybe we need to cut spiders some slack.

The world is on fire & it feels like there isn’t much one can do. Disassociation helps, so does planting things. Every time i’m out there i am stopped by neighbors to talk. I see plants full of bees. I see trees i planted that will outlive me. Most feels pointless but helping life live never does.

HAPPENING NOW… marching on the Capitol…. #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee

In progress

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Hell yes step on me.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

The Russian government is charging and convicting LGBTQ people of "extremism" solely for advocating for their right to exist in Russia. This is a preview of what the right wants to do here in the US. www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/under-new-...

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

amazing piece by @jearica.bsky.social

What a terrible time to be literate

This ain’t 1939 Germany. The whites grasp for historical analogies that allow them to situate the crisis just out of reach, on the cusp & yet to come. We’re not waiting for it to get super fascist! Trump already assumed dictatorship. And if you listened to Black folks, fascism was always here.

Terrill is trying to raise money for an older Inuit couple if you have some extra dollars to put in Match my $20?

With alt text, because the Butlerian will be accessible or not at all.

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

Some of Seattle's top NIMBYs live in the Laurelhurst neighborhood, where they have managed to force Seattle Children's Hospital patients coming by life flight to land a MILE AWAY from the hospital and transfer to ambulance because NIMBYs don't like the noise. www.tiktok.com/@voterondavi...

An Atlanta suburb learned Flock was using livestreams from a children's gymnastics studio, a pool, and a playground in sales pitches to other cities. Residents are furious but the city renewed its contract with Flock anyway: www.404media.co/city-learns-...

INBOX: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson + mayors of LA, Minneapolis, Seattle, Newark, & others to announce today the Haymarket Declaration, "a national statement of action affirming the role of cities in defending democracy, protecting workers’ rights, lowering costs, and supporting working families."

people still want to act like nihilism is cool but it is actually bullshit compliance. humans are not going away. we get to decide if future generations suffer or if they live free. hope is punk as fuck. our oppressors want us to believe we have no power and nothing is possible. it’s not true.

Really not in the mood for the flood of ai-generated 8647 memes today. Instamutes.

The library is switching from landline phones to Teams and it’s going about as smoothly as you would imagine.

Whomever first put peanut butter on celery really had their shit together. I dont think i’ll ever come up with something that good.

Illinois has had 100 tornadoes in 2026. This isn't normal. (Tornadoes here are normal, but not in this number. We typically average in the 50s.)

Lucille Ball--actress, comedian, producer & film-studio executiver--died #OTD in 1989. In 1962, she bought out Desi Arnaz's interest in Desilu Productions & became the 1st woman to own & run a major TV studio. Desilu produced many popular TV series including Mission: Impossible & #StarTrek. #legend

A couple books worth reading about life in Russia. There are parallels in terms of where our country is and is heading. Nothing is True and Everything is Possible. www.thriftbooks.com/w/nothing-is...

I wish the same energy for demanding a ballroom went into demanding gun reform when children are shot in schools.

So whys that guy naked?

Interesting that whenever the polls start hitting Rock bottom attempts are suddenly made.

Why would they resume the program without knowing whether the gunman acted alone?

Independent Bookstore Day spots to hit up in Chicago: - Women and Children First (radical, great poetry section) - Myopic Books (huge, great poetry section) - Armadillo’s Pillow (best smelling bookstore) - City Lit Books (by a blind date book!) - Lilliput Books (another woman-owned spot!)

I met a nice dog on the way to work - her name was ellie and she let me give her pets.

Y’all, if you are in or around Everett WA today, come to the Bayside Cafe for the first ever Evergreen Zine Fest! I will have games, other folks will have other delights, and you can get food at the best vegan restaurant in Washington.

I found this really enlightening as to how Magyar was able to unseat Orban

Typical day in the archives- the caller with the run of the mill story turns out to be pretty wrong and the caller with the bizarre story turned out to be completely right.

it wasn’t just liam—

I swear to dog, people making a hobby out of running historic images through ChatGPT to ‘improve’ them might be what makes me finally quit my job as an archivist. I can’t whack-a-mole the visual gobbledygook on top of the textual being churned out by various AI tools.

This account as posted dozens of unthreaded posts in the past 24 hours and doesn’t seem to get why folks are confused when random out of context things appear in their feed.

so many contextless black boxes bc you fucks won’t use alt text
