We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

Here's a neat thing! My mom retired after 25+ as a children's librarian at public libraries yesterday. (It was very cool! Hundreds of former Story Hour kids arrived, some as adults!) I let Ed Markey's office know in case they wanted to send a nice email back and they sent this! He's still got it!

The lesbian bar story is mean and small-minded and a lot of the people laughing about it have never done any kind of organizing in their lives. BUT it is a very good story about how communities get hijacked by bad-faith actors who are enabled by leadership that doesn't want to upset anybody.

Here in Perú there are always public health campaigns for vaccination and vaccines are free. They track your record with your national ID so you just walk up to the booth, they check what shots you need and if you need what they’re giving that day, you get the shot Today I got MMR booster & flu

Split for the body and sleeves over the weekend. While working on this project I've had some moments where I thought about changing this sweater up, but I'm starting to really dig the big stripes! Made with my Alpine Lake spin from Inglenook Fibers.

A knit sweater in progress, in shades of mossy green.

Every single question about trans people (or whatever group these people are targeting) is really just one question: "is it OK to hate this group and discriminate against them?" If the answer is anything other than complete repudiation of the subject, it's a failure

This is... to me... a denial that trans people exist. The reference to genetic anomalies is common anti-trans language referring to intersex people.

Couldn't be said better than this. On a personal level, I think about disability history. Historically and currently people say that including disabled people, providing protections for disabled people isn't fair. Inclusion for trans people is inclusion for me, is inclusion for all.

When I say it’s the only question, it is because of the question underlying the question. Which is, ‘Do people deserve dignity, rights & protections?’ If a qualifier changes your answer, whether it’s trans or Black or Palestinian, you have completely failed the trustworthiness test.

People say this question is not relevant to our immediate existential troubles, but I disagree with that. It is the ultimate existential question. The only one. Because trans inclusion is an immediate existential issue for trans people. Which means it’s a greater existential question for all people.

Academic library jobs seem to be shifting constantly, because budgets are in peril, so they'll post something and then six months later they've decided they want something else, or the budget isn't really there for that position. I've experienced more failed searches this time around.

People don’t fake disability … they fake being well. They play through the pain. They say they’re “fine” when they’re suffering tremendously. They do this because our capitalist, ableist society demands it. Disabled people are discriminated against & told to “try harder” 🧵

Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

More recently in Craighead County — symbolically, at least, Ground Zero for the state’s attack on libraries, thanks to Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Jonesboro) — the library announced several changes to circulation as it relates to minors. In a Facebook post, the library listed a number of changes to library policies, including:

Minors are prohibited from using the self-checkout kiosks;
Children under 13 years old may only check out materials from the designated children’s collection, while minors age 13-17 can only check out from the children or teen sections;
Minors may not check out DVDs at all; and
Minors are prohibited from entering or purchasing anything from the Friends of the Library Bookstore.
