Librarians, we'd like to send you free games. If you’re not a librarian, please tag one and send them to www.CAHLovesLibraries.com.
Brainrot and AI slop are taking over the world. One lone bastion of critical thinking remains––a land of air conditioning, white noise, and free WiFi. What is that shining light of civilization amongst the tung tung tung sahur wasteland of our times? Your local library. 

For the last six years, we’ve been sending free copies of Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition to libraries across the country, to fend off the evil forces that threaten to steal the minds of our nation’s youth. We’ve equipped almost 5,000 libraries so far, and don’t have plans to stop any time soon. 

Know a library that needs our help? Tag them below so we can send them our finest frontal cortex-flexing products, including Cards Against Humanity Family Edition and Contact, for free. Let’s get real people to play real games together, in person. CAHLovesLibraries.com.

Since 1973, August 26 has been designated Women's Equality Day and this registration book from the woman suffrage headquarters in New York is the perfect item to celebrate this day. While being an important historical item, it's also a treasure trove for genealogists. It spans from 1909 to 1917.

When your mom, who does not play video games, recommends a book that references something you’ve worked on
A picture of a passage from a book that reads, “‘Bang on,’ he said, sounding cheerful. ‘Fancy being a wench baking sweet rolls in Skyrim or a sorceress slinging spells in The Witcher, I’m your man.’”

Ted Lasso season 4, episode 2 spoilers ahead The show beautifully captured that feeling of returning to a place you’re intimately familiar with and having it feel simultaneously different and yet the same. Such a powerful, and appropriate, way to start this season.

We rightfully talk about Ruby Bridges being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school in the South at 6-years-old. But we don’t talk nearly enough about Lucille Bridges, her mom ✨

Being dead is not some kind of state line where, if you can just cross the border, all your trespasses evaporate. The flowers still wither where you poured salt. The living continue to suffer the consequences of your actions. People are entitled to say, he made the garden worse, and now he is gone.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.
