9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting.
Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office.

YOU CAN'T POST YOUR WAY OUT OF FASCISM: "The greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism, when it is at best a coping mechanism." Essential reading by Janus Rose in @404media.bsky.social:
If you, like me, are sick of your Senators not answering their phones or having full voicemails, I just used Resistbot to fax strongly worded letters. It costs a bit (it costs ten "coins" and I bought 400 for $10), but at least annoys them more then calling a full line.

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.
Just a reminder that there are a ton of options (digital! Not just physical!) to get books and movies and tv that aren’t run by evil shit lords. Sign up for a library card today!!
remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week
and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it
Going on trips to the UP, NYC, CA. Completing 52 hikes to make sure I'm in nature as much as possible. Making art, doing puzzles, coloring, and cooking.
Make sure you use your library cards. Check out books by Black authors, indigenous authors, queer authors and other marginalized communities.
Also, ask your local library to buy more titles by marginalized folks. We often buy those requests.
Use Libby! A lot!

It's the arctic outside so I watched the entire first season of Arcane after dragging the guest bed into the family room. Small joys.
Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
YESSSSSS
No idea the type of book you're looking for, but I loved A Risk Worth Taking by Jessica Joyce (romance, open door)
all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art
My friend has a fantastic-sounding book out on Tuesday that also happens to be his Adult debut, but he's in the LA area and obviously promo has fallen to the wayside, so I'm gonna shout it out on his behalf. Trans man meets younger self through magical bookstore! bookshop.org/a/2228/97800... 🌈📚
