Hey everyone if you feel so moved, could you fill out this petition on your personal time and personal device in support of libraries by Everylibrary? Federal library and museum staff have been put on administrative leave and grant funding has been frozen.
Funding for state libraries is about 30% provided by IMLS. Databases, Summer Library Programs, and more are on the chopping block.
If you are a librarian/government employee you shouldnt fill out petitions on company time or devices. You could get hit with accusations of lobbying which is illegal for those employees.
If you aren't, do what makes your heart feel best in a soulless capitalist society in which you are only a number to your employer.
much lorb,
-a rural library patron

the lannisters get a purple wedding in exchange for the red wedding (sansa’s word on joffrey is what condemns him finally to death at the hand of the tyrells). jaime pushes bran out of a window so he gets the hand he pushed bran with chopped off. ned stark unjustly executes gared and lady with ice, and his head is ignominiously chopped off by ice. sansa marks jon as her bastard brother, only to end up having to play a bastard herself. cersei uses sansa as a hostage by keeping her close and betrothing her to her son, and myrcella is shipped off to dorne to be used as a hostage betrothed to trystane. theon

Go to your city council meetings
I decided to do my civic duty and start going to my local city council meetings, in the hope of staying more informed about local issues, and affecting the things I can actually affect.
I was one of two people in the audience. Things that happened tonight:
-Only other lady in the audience got up at the end during the public comment period and gave an absolutely scathing rant about Trump, comparing his actions to Nazi Germany and predicting a new Holocaust. I am officially in love with her.
-Apparently all the council people and Mayor were speculating about who I was, because they know everyone who usually shows up and I was a stranger. (Someone thought I was a reporter 😂).
-I got waylaid afterwards. They are starved for attention & participation. One of the councilwomen literally pressed her business card on me and told me about the secret meeting prior to the council meeting, which isn't on their website but is still open to the public. (She's the one who told me her colleague had accused me of being a reporter 😂)
-I got introduced around the room to several additional people, and got to complain about the shitty sidewalks in my neighborhood. They said they would look into it!
Anyways- positive experience overall; do recommend. If nothing else, our city broadcasts the meetings on local TV and yours may too; you can stay informed that way. But going in person gets your face known, and means you can actually have an effect.
Small positive change is still positive change.

Another hilarious Temu diamond painting fail. Y'all feast your eyes on the Ttanic:
No wonder she sank. That bitch is top heavy with uneven weight distribution and surrounded by more ice than Antarctica. 😂
Are those—?? Are those MOOSE ANTLERS instead of anchors?! Why are they cut in half/Why are there FOUR?
Why is there WHITE paint on the HULL? Only the superstructure and top trim were painted white….
When I zoom in, do I detect SQUARE and TRIANGULAR portholes??
*wheezing* Oh, Jesus, save us…Are those FIVE FUNNELS with the suggestion of more in the back?!! And the front two don’t even work?? *breathes in paperbag* There’s presumably a sixth funnel in the back, only it looks like steam is pouring out of the side of the ship.
And would you have been able to see coal smoke at night? Asking for a friend….
Is this ship an icebreaker or an oceanliner?
I’m not bothering to count lifeboats or rows of portholes to the waterline. I’ve seen enough.
I approve of this ghastly ship. I have a soft spot for misfits and the grotesque. When do we set sail??

A new group had formed in hopes of saving the SS United States. They're seeking a federal injunction to prevent her destruction, as she is registered as an official historic landmark in 1999, and sinking her would constitute a violation of law. Furthermore, a significant portion of her construction was made from aluminum, which can not be removed. Based on my understanding, if sunk, that aluminum could polute the water. I'd like to try and draw some attention to this petition that the organization created. I've already signed, and I'd like to urge anyone who sees this to do the same. Even if this petition does nothing, and this groups efforts are in vain, the 15 seconds it takes to sign are well worth the chance of preserving this marvel of human engineering.
The SS United States remains the world’s Blue Ribband holder (fastest Atlantic crossing time) and the was the source of enormous national pride when she was originally launched.
With the air industry in the turmoil it is—and as uncomfortable as air flight is—there is a renewed interest in ocean liner travel, if only to provide a safe, comfortable travel environment for beloved companion animals.
If nothing else, the metaphor of the deliberate sinking of the “United States” to provide food and shelter for bottom feeders is a little too on the nose at the moment.
Save the SS United States.

Strongly recommend calling your reps and freaking out on the phone, both as a self care practice and so they can know that their normally chill constituents are saying things like “I guess if I can’t teach kindergarten teachers to be nicer anymore I shall have to become a bonus army”
A helpful reminder that your average Republican politician still quakes with fear when large numbers of people start asking things like “where’s my/my mom/my grandma’s social security and what are you doing to protect it?” It would be genuinely less scary for you to threaten them with violence than to politely state that you are concerned that your Korea War Veteran grandpa might not get his social security on time.
“Hi, I’m calling on behalf of a extremely sympathetic and socially conservative demographic that always votes, doesn’t have a day job and that cops cannot shoot to see if you are going to prevent them from having groceries. Thanks and have great day!” It’s like firebombing their office but totally legal and can be done from bed.
