I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
You guys, I had to go in front of the Landmark Preservation Committee and got my plans for safety renovations DENIED because the changes would disturb the vision of the architect (Michael Graves, deceased) on an under 30 year old building. This is madness.
Short 🧵 of White House-related resources. 1st, from an unexpected source (an engineering news publication), a very helpful overview of what has happened, what preservation review should have happened, and related matters: www.enr.com/articles/616...

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.
Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

It’s time, beyond time, really, I’m leaving Substack. I didn’t do it before because I had no other income to rely on. I don’t think abandoning spaces is always the right answer but sometimes it’s necessary www.patreon.com/posts/why-i-...

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl–an optional state-wide competition intended to get kids excited about reading–has banned 8 books from its teen competition this year.

Among the banned books? @samiraahmed.bsky.social's book about banned books.

What the hell is going on?

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

Do any librarians know? 📚
Does anyone knows of anyone who is keeping a database of all the national park exhibits taken down because of the administration’s problems with DEI?

I maybe know people who took photos of all the exhibits that were up at Harper’s Ferry.
