Hey MA friends! Please write to your MoCs to ask them to push to inspect the inhumane conditions at the Burlington ICE facility, and to show up & join the weekly protests. Here's the link to a form email that you can revise/personalize, that does just that: actionnetwork.org/letters/insp...

#SundayLibrarian dispatch: I just cleared a weird printer error that caused a bunch of old print jobs to spew out, including someone's list entitled "Favorite Lines from the Gilded Age"

Chicago Public Library's budget cuts would mean losing HALF of the materials budget. It would mean losing 90 staff members. Cop budget's fine, though.

It's important to note that ICE initially lied that they'd taken Marta Leiva at the SLC airport. How can they expect anyone to trust an organization that will just blatantly lie? And what purpose does the lie serve? It reeks of a bumbling group enacting violence with no accountability.

I watched a clip of him this morning where he was like, "I haven't used chatgpt because no one's held a gun to my head to make me use chatgpt" lmao

Tomorrow! Also consider donating cash if you’re able! Nearest ATM Santander at 125 Broadway 👖🥰💵

coworker: a patron said there's a car with its door open, can you do an all-building page? me: the door is just open? cw: yeah? me: why didn't they just close it cw: idk, anyway here's the car info, [license plate ends in 67] me: oh no all the kids are gonna lose it cw: why me: cause 6 7 cw: 🤷‍♀️

I was trying to look up the text of a law for a patron and the MA legislature website gave me this 404 error. Can you guys like. Be serious. The state legislature is not a place I turn to for whimsy and/or seafood puns. malegislature.gov/Bills/193/H3...

It was SUCH a treat to get to talk to one of my fav authors @raxkingisdead.bsky.social !!! Unfortunately we had to read this book (which is much worse than her books Tacky and Sloppy) but for me anyway it was worth it!!! #NoKingsButRax

🚨 WNDB is committed to providing emergency grants to diverse authors & illustrators, publishing professionals, and educators experiencing dire financial need due to loss of SNAP benefits. We are now open for a new round of emergency grants, between $250 and $1,000 each. 💻 bit.ly/WNDB-emergency

GoFundMe for Marta, the woman I filmed being forcefully detained in SLC airport. She is a mother of four and has a work permit legal through 2029. She and her sister were given no reason for her arrest, no due process. She needs funds to help defend herself.

I feel like my life is so comparatively easy--I'm employed, a citizen, not furloughed, able to pay my bills and have some treats, no dependents to take care of (well just Duarte)--and my nervous system is at MAX CAPACITY rn just fretting about neighbors starving & getting kidnapped etc

Ughhhh yesterday a library patron asked me for an article from the Epoch Times & it made me create a free account to get the article so I was like whatever, click, and this morning I got this garbage in my inbox!! HISSSSSSSSSSS

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

if all Peace Corps volunteers collectively get a Congressional Gold Medal, oooh it's gonna look so good on my mantle next to my AO3 Hugo Award

EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

"When the country’s noblest values are being torn down with a wrecking ball, Gunn is earnestly telling stories that try to build them up, insisting that in a time of rising despair, hope is still punk rock." Yeah!!!

Don’t talk to me or my daughter ever again

I woke up in the middle of the night after a nightmare that the library where I work (which in dream logic looked like the library where I used to work but in the desert) had invited JK Rowling as an author guest & I was like wtf why is she here & everyone was like lol we've been promoting this

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

every couple of days the official white house website says "we want to kill you. we want to destroy everything you love. we are the living incarnation of death and we shall sweep life from this earth like an unstoppable whirlwind" and its like oh. ok. do i still have to pay taxes

Something fairly under-reported–or at least I have not seen across my feeds at all!–is that in addition to SNAP benefits ceasing November 1, so, too, are so many HeadStart programs. www.wmtv15news.com/2025/10/29/h...

children no longer being safe trick-or-treating on american streets because of the president is where we're at

Racoon: what is this stuff? Me: it’s our garbage Racoon: it’s delicious, I understand why you chase me away from it, do you eat it? Me: no we’re trying to get rid of it Racoon: ok I guess I don’t fucking understand at all then

I am feeling very sulky today, like if I were a horse in a movie I would need the most special girl to gently feed me an apple and brush my hair so carefully this is not sexual btw

no joke: this line of attack is racist. MANY people from MANY cultural backgrounds use “auntie” and “uncle” for older relatives and even close family friends. the NYP knows this. this is just bad faith racist bullshit parading as cultural ignorance.

niche idea: a "In This House We Believe" sign but it's just the lyrics to Nobody's Side from Chess

Inside of me are three turtles. One is chilling on a log in the sun. The other two are on a first date and it’s going really well. I’m so happy

Hello Kitty is entering her "stylish widow who has no idea how her last four husbands died" era and I love that for her.

It you’d like to donate to a food bank near you, you can find one via the nonprofit Feeding America. You can also donate to its network of food banks on its website: “Every dollar you give can provide at least 10 meals to families facing hunger” Please repost. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

I’ve been in DC for a wedding & my friend & I both had flights leaving around the same time so she brought me as her guest to the fancy lounge. But my flight got delayed a bit so I’m just hanging out without her and it feels illegal

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

I wrote you a poem this morning.

As a trans woman, I love the way my allies treat Harry Potter casting announcements as if those actors died in a plane crash.

Exciting news! If you have a @netgalley.bsky.social account you can request my next novel, The Mortons. Co-written with @scottwesterfeld.bsky.social. It publishes in Canada/USA & UK, July 2026. (Still waiting on Australia/NZ, Bulgaria, France & German pub dates.) www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

A Girl Scout troop in the council where I used to work is taking on a project to renaming a couple of outdated camp property features. They made an online poll to vote on new names--I'd just love to see it get a high turnout to support this great initiative! gsci.wufoo.com/forms/mvrh7r...
