Following Ada's lead, I'd like to do the same.

here’s a great piece by @lisapeet.bsky.social about the unconventional book tour for John J. Lennon’s THE TRAGEDY OF TRUE CRIME. Over the past several years, John has showed me almost anything is possible from prison. Why not a book tour, then?

Was this the rapture? I don’t feel any different.
I'm incredibly grateful to @lisapeet.bsky.social of @libraryjournal.bsky.social for all the recent coverage of archives and preservation, including this interview with me about @jstor.bsky.social Digital Stewardship Services. www.libraryjournal.com/story/progra...

Raccoon was trying to groom cat, cat swatted (but nothing worse), raccoon went off to its treehouse bedroom, since it was light out and bedtime anyway.
I am living in a children’s book. Stray cat and raccoon on my next-door neighbor’s roof, and they appear to be buds.
Really enjoyed our conversation, @mollyjune.bsky.social, and working in that piece. Thanks again!

Oh Vanguard, thanks for the notice, but if you think I want to look at my statement right now you are so, so sorely mistaken.
Trump is attempting to destroy federal funding for libraries. EveryLibrary made it easy to take action today! action.everylibrary.org/saveimls2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social
More from ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl: "By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially."

Jasper, who is LOUD and FIERCE in his battle against the printer ghosts, approves.
And now I guess you can add to that no armed forces or conservative pundits.
And it's not even a good likeness! Though that's sadly nothing new for USPS—their portrait stamps are never very good.
If they pull baby wild animals or Goodnight Moon from the 2025 stamp lineup for this conservative crap, I'm going to be pissed.
New stamps dropping this year, via USPS, and ffs I'm ordering some more of those Keith Haring stamps in opposition.
