“If somebody comes to me in 20 years and says 'Are these your original ideas and words?' about even a single sentence of my writing, I need to be able to answer yes—no reservations, no loopholes, no room for error.“ this is for academics, but imo it applies to the entire spectrum of writing.

Taxing the rich is the only capitalist safeguard against tyranny. Capitalism protected us from tyranny and despotism when we taxed the rich at 50-90%. They built libraries, etc. When the rich have no incentive not to hoard resources, capitalism is as susceptible to tyranny as any other system

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*. Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%. (Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.) Context:

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

I’m trying to teach my cats de-escalation. Primarily by sweetly injecting my face between two felines facing off with ears back, saying, “de-escalate!” It disrupts the attack vibe enough much of the time!

The U.S. appears ready to reassess its tactics in carrying out Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza. The news vindicates the strategy Palestinians have used during the ceasefire to avoid the surrender Israel has demanded in exchange for ending the genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/pale...

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

The Durham community came together and raised 100K in 48 hours; hundreds of volunteers joined in to procure, package, and distribute food and necessities to immigrant DPS families - 655 families and 13000 meals. Thank you to local organizers who led us into startling food distribution efficiency 🫶🏼

Two ways to make the world less fascist today: 1) Use a public library to keep them funded & knowledge accessible. Libby for audio & ebooks, Kanopy for streaming! 2) Wear an n95 in public to reduce community illness, improve accessibility for disability communities, & resist eugenics! Free masks:

I don’t understand why Trump wd be afraid of exposure here. MAGA didn’t care that he’s an adjudicated rapist. They wd dismiss it if Trump were on it. We already know Bill Clinton is on it, so claiming Hillary created it is laughable. Trump is protecting someone other than himself, someone he needs.

“Prison phone calls have been shown to compel good behavior and rehabilitation. . . . Studies have also shown that communication with loved ones and strong family ties lead to decreased violence in prison and make people more likely to succeed and refrain from criminality after release.”

Not that we in the library wish to encourage profanity, but if you want to get rid of these AI-search summaries (which are often absolute nonsense), just swear in your search terms. It really works.

I would like to see my reps putting their physical bodies in the way of the current coup. South Korean legislators climbed walls to save their country from a coup. Why is physical interference not an option when the US treasury is literally being looted? Why are dems bringing lawsuits to a gunfight?

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up
