These roles were budgeted through June 2026. The librarians got an hour to pack their stuff and were escorted out like criminals. One of them is 61 and had worked at the library since she was a teenager.
Still thinking about the FBI being the ones to first tell Mamdani’s dad about Karl Marx
I saw a person on TikTok calling up churches to tell them her baby hasn’t eaten for a day and ask if they can give her formula. Most say no.
Meanwhile my local independent bookstore has turned a back room into a free food pantry and encouraging people to donate pet food too, since pets are family.
"I asked ChatGPT"
Yeah? Well I asked Lady Catherine de Bourgh and not only did she give me the wrong answer so authoritatively I was struck silent, she criticized the precise color of the red in my bonnet and invited me to dine at Rosings Park but only after I fixed it.

Fobazi is currently in the ICU and could use your support. Apologies to those I haven’t been able to reach out to yet. You can message me for more info and I will be posting updates to GoFundMe. Please share, send healing thoughts, prayers, etc. ❤️ -Elena

The scam artists in the administration are hiring seat fillers for Saturday's masturbation party, and they're being offered payment in cryptocurrency.

We ended up with Haymitch and Henchman 21. And yes, Haymitch’s personality is already a lovable asshole at 7 weeks.
Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
Put in perspective, the same people who were supposed to get $10,000-$20,000 of their student loans forgiven because they were Pell Grant recipients–poor kids like me growing up–are the ones being absolutely targeted in this bill.
You don't need to reply with "that's intentional." We know.
No.
Universities do not have to be "in sync with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."
They are institutions of learning led by scholars who follow their research in search of knowledge. They support free inquiry and learning.
They are not political pawns.
One kitten is now purring when we hold him and grooms us, the other is still convinced this is a hostage situation and is horrified that his brother is falling victim to Stockholm syndrome.
Taking name suggestions (book inspired) for these little boys. My husband and I each get to name one, and his top name right now is 1994 Toyota Camry.
I am in that quarter.
It’s a marvelous system!
Oh no how did this happen
Oh no how did this happen
I’ve moved away from Drive and Word in the last year and use Scrivener and Novlr for all of my writing instead!
fuuuuuuck
I have three cats but I’m justifying it to myself already, the youngest would love a more active friend
We also have the Great Depression to thank. In CA and many other states, the CCC was put to work building our highways and improving existing dirt roads. With new highways and post-war prosperity, the streetcar was doomed.
It’s kitten season and I have kitten fever send help
DR. CARLA HAYDEN WAS THE FIRST *QUALIFIED* PERSON TO BE HIRED AS THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS, BTW
Just because I am not surprised does not mean I'm not angry. Carla Hayden, like every other *actually qualified federal worker* that has been shamefully treated in this unconscionable manner deserves better. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...
Dr. Carla Hayden will always be our Librarian of Congress ❤️🩹
1st woman, 1st African American Librarian of Congress. Your presence is a blessing to libraries. We love you! ✨
Thank you for your service 💜

I want to see every MSM reporter challenging every Republican they interview to justify this: "The total cost of her wheelchair was close to $6,000, of which nearly $3,500 was for tariffs alone."
Also a valid point. The Library of Congress is in the legislative, not executive, branch.
Colleen Shogan was the first woman confirmed as archivist of the United States; she was fired in 2025 by Donald Trump.
Carla Hayden is the first woman to be confirmed as librarian of Congress; she was fired by Donald Trump in 2025.
At the start of this year, three of the institutions most important to American cultural preservation—the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History—were run by women for the first time.
As of today, Trump has fired two of those three.
Really great to listen to @cindyhohl.bsky.social, Dr. Temple Grandin, and @mychal3ts.bsky.social in ALA’s webinar today about autism in the context of libraries!
