"What if a grp of students at a Philly high school that never had its own library created one from scratch?" Stories like this are always 🥰, but they remind us (as the article notes) of systemic problems: the Philly School District has TWO full-time certified school librarians across 216 schools! 🎁
Here’s how some Philly high school students built a library from scratch. ‘Kids just kept coming, renewing books.’
“We all grew up without a library,” one KHSA senior said. “That had an effect on a lot of kids."

As someone who previously worked for HRW, I can attest that the organization is extremely careful using the term “genocide.” They resisted applying it in Yugoslavia and Darfur. The fact that they use the term here is highly meaningful.

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

And for any journalists on here, a plea— I know it’s not technically required to ask someone before using their social media posts in a story, but it’s common courtesy and could save someone a lot of grief.

With news of a ceasefire deal for Lebanon being announced in the next 24 hours, the bombing in and around the capital has intensified to the highest degree.
They did the same in 2006, in the few days before applying the ceasefire, they just emptied their stockpile on Lebanon.
Madness truly.

Reports are mounting that a ceasefire could be declared today. Meanwhile, Israel is still heavily bombing Dahiyeh.
Escalations often occur before the end and we hope the end is in sight.

What is happening in the north is beyond comprehension, and the Israeli government and IDF have gone out of their way to ensure that the media has a hard time reporting it. Myself and @farrahfazal.bsky.social gathered some testimony, but it is one sliver of the horrors.
