NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

@jessicaturtle.bsky.social @ourmoh.bsky.social you are a superstar 🌟 Hugely deserved round of applause for your personal and powerful keynote contribution at the @homelesslink.bsky.social conference. 💓 Powerful takeaway that ending homelessness needs to be more about love than rules.

I hucked in all these logs across the moorings yesterday bc @mattturtle.bsky.social has a bad back, usually we do it together. Its half a tonne total so I feel suitably proud. I caught up with the last couple weeks of @404media.co whilst I did it. Highly recommend subscribing to those guys.

I see that Trump is a feminist hero now, in a move from gender criticals that is entirely expected.

There was a seal playing in the Thames this morning. Combined with this sunrise, as me and @mattturtle.bsky.social step off the moorings and back to the museum, it feels like the week should have blessings in it. Wishing everyone a good one 😊

The Stonewall uprising, now seen as a pivotal moment in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights, was not universally welcomed by gay activists at the time. The Mattachine Society, then the leading gay rights organisation, begged the rioters to stop.

Text posted at the Stonewall Inn in 1969: We homosexuals plead with our people to please help maintain peaceful and quiet conduct on the streets of the village - Mattachine.

"I know you are mad busy with bum bum train this spring but glad you can squeeze in some work on Riot FM after the show opens" is a sentence I typed today and this kind of sentence is why I like working in the arts.

Well the emergency shelter is done and its first night back on the boat since last Tuesday. The cats are not happy with us at all lol.

Jessica Turtle @jessicaturtle.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

What a week. Been running the shelter since Tuesday with a fantastic bunch of people. What a privilege it is to do this in our own way in our own building after so many years campaigning for better and more provision.

Jessica Turtle @jessicaturtle.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

We are running our first ever emergency shelter here at the museum. The joy of simply being able to say "yes of course you can come in for the night" is such a contrast to having to try for hours (and often fail) to get someone indoors via official channels. Our way should be normal

I REALLY wish all the papers and the BBC and other outlets would stop reporting on fucking El*n Musk, everything he says or does and legitimising him. The only thing that should be amplified is the twitch stream where he was repeatedly owned by that excellent young person.

Jessica Turtle @jessicaturtle.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

We are back at work tomorrow and looking at the forecast we'll be opening our emergency cold weather shelter in the museum for the first time ever the very next day And that's how 25 is going to be huh

One of the enduring myths of covid is that we solved homelessness in covid. What this shows is how little our society understands the structural and individual factors that cause homelessness. A lot of homelessness charities contributed to creating this myth at the time.

I’m not back from leave yet but I’m already digging into SWEP cos of the cold & and trying to figure out what being a tier 1 or 2 person means. Apparently u need to be one to get offers of help. Why do our systems of care in the UK have all these complicated & mind boggling classification systems

I'm feeling somewhat despairing about how chaotic 2025 has started when an investigative journalist friend messages with some new information on a slow burning thing we are working on. It's a nice reminder that for all the carnage and Billionaire level madness there are good people diligently

It's 1030 and I've watched the sunrise, been to the arcades in Soho to play my fave games, made the acquaintance of a Shaolin Monk who works there, had a really good coffee and now I'm on a mystery trip out of London somewhere from Marylebone. Sober birthdays can be truly excellent. ❤️

I am 45 next week and I have done a few things but I think the achievement of my life is cooking Christmas dinner for more than 60 people out of a very small domestic kitchen. And everyone had seconds and thirds if they wanted. 😅

Well that Christmas eve party day at the museum was absolutely mobbed, hectic, gorgeous and heartwarming in equal measure. We're now eating pizza on the boat with the fire on and feeling a lot of gratitude for the amazing community we are a part of ❤️ Tomorrow will be even more mad lol

Planting spring bulbs on deck at high tide in the freezing dark just before Christmas is totally fine and normal, especially if you have one of these hats.
