One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Mississippi is one of the few states where people can be jailed indefinitely without indictment, which has contributed to the overcrowding, violence and dysfunction that put Raymond Detention Center—Hinds County’s primary jail—under federal control in the first place.

I applied to be on the local climate action plan committee. There were seven people for six seats. By just showing up, I kept a conservative conspiracy theorist from getting on.
18mo ago, I noticed she & cronies were against a new elementary school. I joined up with the pro-school voices. We won.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

Three times she’s been stopped and goons have demanded “show us your papers”.
And if they feel like it they smash your stuff, and pound on you; and all the while you know it’s going to happen again.
And you’ve done nothing more than be a person they felt like abusing.

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

I think this is a really important thing about libraries that many people may not realize. not only not tracking, but ideally really making an effort to maintain privacy on hold shelves as well. Corporations and many government entities are attacking our privacy; support libraries in preserving it.
