I put together a starter pack of media outlets that are independent, worker-owned and reader funded. They cover local beats, politics, science, culture, technology and more. I also made a list of those that are on Bluesky, if that's more your jam bsky.app/profile/did:...

I've seen a lot of posts lately saying that to support a library, you should get a card. Other things you can do: 1. Be promiscuous in using that card 2. Go to board meetings 3. Join the Friends 4. Demand the books that represent you, you can challenge absent books as much as present ones 5. Donate

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 20/12/2024

Starbucks Workers United baristas will begin escalating strikes through Christmas Eve beginning in 3 of Starbucks’ most important markets: Seattle, LA, and Chicago. We are calling on allies to join us at 3 "anchor" picket lines TODAY, Dec. 20th. Each day, we'll announce more locations!

A graphic centered around big, grungy text and a grayscaled barista holding a megaphone and a sign that says "Starbucks Workers United - No Contract No Coffee." The SBWU fist is in the corner surrounded by fire.

Text: Friday, December 20th - Support these picket lines! Starbucks baristas at these "anchor" pickets need allies to turn up! Each day we're on ULP strike, we'll announce additional locations

"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened." —Nikki Giovanni 💔 #poem #poems #poetry

I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.
