soup town! soup town!

curious about how the price announcements might be affecting people's opinions like I was considering buying until i heard the game pricing and now I'm just not going to bc we can't let them think that's okay

Do NOT give in to despair. Yes, the response isn’t always perfect. But the perfect is the enemy of the good.

People are standing up.

Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.

"as harmful as fossil fuels? don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?" the world's largest and most sophisticated surveillance networks that gather incomprehensible amounts of personal data to make profits technological companies who are the largest corporations on the world and shapers of public opinion often for the worse, all do it for advertising.

Cut the head, just ban advertising.

I love how here on tumblr dot website we regularly cast the greatest curse we can muster on each other by pointing our long creepy fingers and intoning "10,000 notes" in a voice that carries the winds of the mountain with it.

How To Draw A Horse by Emma Hunsinger in this week’s New Yorker magazine.

I WILL bring this up again. You will give yourself a huge leg-up by learning basic skills. Look up free YouTube tutorials, see if your library has training classes, take a computer literacy class if you can fit it into your class schedule.

You will do so much better at a job if you can use just the basic functions of Excel, Word, and Outlook. Interested in coding? Learn it! Everyone telling you that AI is going to get rid of the need to know how to do HTML is a damn liar. Take a step back to figure out what you don't know, pick the first thing on the list, and go learn it. It will be worth it!

Please call your reps.

I'm a Museum Studies Master's student. I was in DC at the end of February to advocate for funding for IMLS (specifically the Office of Museum Services). We fought on Capitol Hill to secure funding from congress. We in museums, libraries, and archives are scared. We are watching the active tear-down of our livelihoods happen all around us. This DOGE takeover is a blatant attempt to defund education, defund community engagement, defund public access to knowledge.

Call your reps. Tell them how angry you are about DOGE doing this. Show up for your public library, show up for your local museum, speak out for the Smithsonian. Donate if you can (i know how tight funds are right now. I'm living it too)

Help us. We're small, we need the voices to back us up.

I don’t talk much about my real life on here, but I’m an Archives Master’s student who works in archives digitization. I cannot emphasize enough the points prev is making.

I walked into class this morning to the tear streaked face of my classmate who learned that they had to lay off 80% of their library’s staff. Coworkers and classmates have brought in emails threatening the imminent termination of their positions if they don’t leave to enter the private sector.

I know information professionals who have spent their lives defending the distribution of information and education of the public who are devastated by what is currently happening in the United States.

The current administration seeks to tear down cultural heritage institutions that seek to educate and preserve our nation’s, our people’s, history. God knows what they will build in its stead.

I am begging you. Don’t let this just be a post you reblog. Make your voice heard. Do what you can. Please.

made a lil turnaround of my dnd oc + an old drawing of her
