This is one of those days where I really wish my pattern recognition was bad
Yeah that was really weird and upsetting to listen to

What I learned today is that the @nytopinion.nytimes.com doesn’t believe in young people of color in leadership. Time and time again people tout “seniority” and “experience”. 75 years ago, there were no women of color elected in NY. Where is “seniority” or “experience” to come from for us?
As a librarian, I don’t want to take classes on how to use AI at work. I just want public printers that work properly.
Please don’t rank Cuomo so I don’t have to shudder every time I hear a mayor
*who moved me by touching my lower back without asking* give a stupid press conference.

Families belong together.

A 12-year-old alone on a sidewalk after an ICE raid. A father detained thousands of miles away as his child is born. A young makeup artist whose family hasn't heard from him in months.

This is not "family values."

We aren’t your heroes, we’re your canaries. Pay attention.
If watching library workers resist leads you to expect us to save you, you're taking away the wrong message.

You should be viewing this as a clear indicator that YOU can and should stand up and push back, too.

We need help, not acclaim.

We are excited to announce our endorsements in the 2025 NYC mayoral primary! We proudly support @bradlander.bsky.social, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @adrienne4thepeople.bsky.social for mayor. Rank all three for libraries!
Where do people think most fabric is made? While it’s actually one of the few industries we still have it’s been shrinking for years here.
The ONLY reason to look for new autism treatments is to help autistic people be happy and healthy on their own terms. Get bent RFK.
I do not give a shit if a fellow autistic person can pay taxes, go to the bathroom alone, or have a job. It does not matter, that are human beings who deserve care and their worth is not connected to what they can produce.
What an asshat, Amsterdam really needs that type of job too.
Oh FFS, looks like DOGE forgot to send us our cancellation notice for our IMLS grant and just went ahead with close out instructions. Whoever said fascists were competent was very very wrong.
There is a thing I need, that would be really easy to drop by Target to get, and I’m going to go out of my way to go elsewhere. Just in case we forgot that they suck.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

The dog whistles are just lifeguard whistles in this one.
Did I miss the part of the Senate oath of office where they say “support and defend the constitution… *unless it’s hard*”? @schumer.senate.gov took an oath dammit, live up to it!
