Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book.

But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time.

It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

All but a few of the nearly 400 books that the U.S. Naval Academy removed from its library because they dealt with anti-racism and gender issues are back on the shelves after the newest Pentagon-ordered review
Most books pulled from Naval Academy library are back on the shelves in latest DEI turn

Lot of people wondered why before when aid sites were more open in Gaza people were still buying food- it’s because aid distribution sites were some of the most dangerous places in Gaza and it was much safer to buy from merchants

"Rumblings of anger can focus our efforts on rectifying injustices, and constantly chasing happiness and contentment nudges us towards achievements that keep us alive. All these things could also apply to insects..."

Why insects are more sensitive than they seem
For decades, the idea that insects have feelings was considered a heretical joke – but as the evidence piles up, scientists are rapidly reconsidering.

I already gave my answer in the thread, but this made me think

When you hear "salad bar" what is the first restaurant you think of?
None. Zero.

I’m sure 99% of the people that follow me have no idea what the Applebee salad bar joke means, but he actually said Obama could not relate to the person standing at an Applebee’s salad bar, when Applebee’s does not even have a salad bar

Meet Winnie (Because of Win-Dixie + Winifred Sanderson and a dash of Winifred the Woebegone). She was my birthday present to myself and I am apparently more than somewhat pleased with her... okay, okay, I love her to death and think she’s great 😊🐕🎂

This poem really hit me today. Powerful
Good Bones
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Harrowing, but also, stunning needlework!
Today I learned about the 🇨🇦 artist Sandra Sawatzky and the epic-scaled embroidered tapestry she has created, emulating the Bayeux tapestry, to chronicle the history of fossil fuel extraction. #needlework, #SubversiveStitch www.theblackgoldtapestry.com

Whatever happens, never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So always make time to share books with kids, and help them find books to love. Make reading central to everything you do. It will change their lives forever!

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

As a writer, I cannot tell you how many times I have utilized these sites. Join me in donating some money if you’re so inclined
Christmas is a good time to throw Wikipedia a few bucks to thank them for the many times you relied on the site that year. Members of the billionaire class want to destroy it for some reason.

I go up to the checkout counter after having the oil in my car changed and the man in front of me looks at me and says, “how are you doing, honey?” I look right back at him and say “I’m doing fine, sweetheart, how are you?” And you best believe I’m going to make that part of my repertoire
