(currently in the process of getting my master’s degree so if you want to pick a fight w me, dont. I dont have the energy 💚)

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.

eleanor shellstrop one of the protagonists of all time honestly. woman who sucks so much who gets put in a situation specifically made to make her worse and instead she gets better. filled with love for other people but replaced it with malice for as long as she could because love got her nothing. went from being selfish for survival to selfless for survival and in the end she lands on being selfless for selflessness's sake. she even has mommy issues. she's even bisexual.

this website is so funny because every couple years we repeat the discourse of "which marginalised group is it morally okay for us to shit on?" and somehow nobody ever learns from it. we just look back and go, "hey, remember that time when everyone was joking about how ace people should all be put in meat grinders? that was so messed up. we should not have done that. anyway, here's my topical joke about how polyamorous people should all be put in meat grinders."
