I don’t know who made this but I am grateful. A giant wedge of Swiss cheese crushing a heavily damaged #Tesla #Cybertruck on a city street, with the #Wisconsin State Capitol building visible in the background.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional. Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.
