They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

Trying not to feel blue that my very very green book, so gorgeously designed and published by Nauset Press @karynhelen.bsky.social has been pulled by the distributor Ingram Spark for being too green!! And so we rethink the design and set a new launch date in May.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders. Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...
ALA response to White House assault on IMLS
To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities. 
As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump (Gift Article)
Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

The GOP want to TAKE AWAY healthcare from 72 MILLION people! This will lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated illnesses, and unnecessary deaths. All to fund tax breaks for the rich. #DontCutOurMedicaid

Someone please explain to me how the federal government can fire someone as part of cost cutting when the feds don’t even pay his salary. And let’s not forget he’s a former Marine and has saved multiple lives in the course of his job.Please share this story b/c WTAF?!

I'm delighted to announce the nausetpress.com launch of K Prevallet's "A Varied and Often Tender Multiplicity," a sublime intra-conscious meditation imbued and entwined with references to plant life.
Cover of A Varied and Tender Multiplicity by K Prevallet. The cover is typographic in design. A muted pink with verdant green text.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.
A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Even as we are all wading through a massive fire hose of news….and figuring out what matters and what doesn’t…the takeover of the treasury dept payment system by Musk posse is one we should pay attention to.

PSA, you can obtain 4 free COVID tests from the Department of Health, for now. They arrive in the mail. Perhaps it is good to get them before the next administration is installed. www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/...

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

Penny Siopis compels us to confront our dual modes of cognition as we shift between perpetrator and sufferer, viewer and viewed, intimacy and exposure.

Penny Siopis’s “Poetics of Vulnerability”
Siopis’s practice draws on many theoretical currents, but concept is not allowed to dominate matter or empty it of its tactile, sensuous appeal and, often, horror.
