Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

periodically, i post this utterly incandescent essay by @isanchezprado.bsky.social. it reminds me about the kind of work i’d like to pursue, the kind most worth pursuing, i think. and my gooooood, the prose. the prose, y’all.
All I want for Christmas is a livestream of @michaelhobbes.bsky.social reading The Atlantic. It would be like Mystery Science Theater for poor writing.

Imagine being so pathetic that all you can do is wail about evil socialist librarians as part of your try-hard, pick-me f@sc!st performance.

The zine libraries unconference wiki has been updated with a statement from the organizers about someone who attended the event in order to spy on and record it without permission. www.zinelibraries.info/wiki/zluc2025/ This infiltrator is driving an effort to get a zine librarian fired. 📚
An unwrapped tamale.
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.
For anyone who got a feedback request from Clarivate (Ex Libris) today - zine from Librarians & Archivists with Palestine
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Let it be known that I now know how to find the correct terms to catalog zines on farts.

My father passed yesterday.
He had gastric bypass 15 years ago and has had health issues since.
He died from complications from that surgery. The underlying colon issue was exacerbated by Ozempic. The doctor said the inside of his colon looked like ground beef.
Skinny doesn't mean healthy.
“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”
