Birding brings me so much peace. It was nice to momentarily escape from the world at the @saxzimbog.bsky.social. What a magical place! Highlights were Great Gray Owls, a Boreal Owl(!), Boreal Chickadee and Evening Grosebeaks.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
