State rep. Hoan Huynh shared video of agents surrounding his vehicle/stopping him + staffers shortly after he said one agent pointed a gun inside his vehicle at him while another threatened to break a window. They were following feds in Albany Park after four people were reportedly taken.

between the Politico texts and Platner I think we've earned (and would appreciate) at least a week break from any more literal Nazi-related political news updates. maybe we could collectively try for a few days of regular grift and graft stories? a suitcase or Cava bag full of money perchance?

sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing.

find your people and build something real.

white people are socialized to assume and accept the humanity of other white people - even at the expense of the safety and/or lives of non-white people. this is why it's such a catastrophe to them if you even slightly hint that they're racist. you're fucking with their entire sense of self.

per nps.gov,

"The White House is a National Park

The White House is owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service. It is more than the President's residence; it is a site for protests and national discourse about what it means to be American."

the concept of someone being afraid of their dog being autistic is hilarious to me. like what would an "autistic" dog do that would be different from a typical dog? is it gonna develop a special interest in digging holes? is it gonna be overstimulated in public spaces? thats like all dogs ever cmon

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

I can’t believe there are real people who think libraries are overstaffed

Matthew Noe @noethematt.bsky.social · 1d

Going to be risking-career-progression-honest with y'all: if this is your response to labor and AI in libraries, I don't think you are qualified to be a leader. In fact, your "leadership" is going to cause harm to both librarians and patrons alike.

katinamagazine.org/content/arti...

In an era of tightening budgets, Webster contends, these institutions “risk a sudden reckoning.”

Boughida sees similar pressures at play. “Probably there will be fewer people in libraires—you need to be able to do more with the people you have,” he said. “This isn’t about expecting staff to take on more work with fewer resources. It’s about using AI to augment and strengthen the capabilities of the people we already have.”

According to Webster, institutions that “are thinking about the bottom line … will want to know how candidates for deanships will help them plan for a future that seems to be nearer and likelier than people think.”
