Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 21/03/2025In 2024, Virginia received $4.3M from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It's used for internet services, reading programs, free access to licensed databases, and more for patrons. Trump is trying to eliminate IMLS. Please contact your senators and representatives if you disagree. 020 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Slate reads the book Meta doesn't want you to read (so much that they went to court): slate.com/technology/2...slate.comWe Read the Book That Mark Zuckerberg Doesn’t Want You to Read. We Can See Why.Careless People has plenty of scandal. It also portrays Facebook’s larger-than-life executives as flawed, awkward, and hypocritical humans. 010 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Yes, that *was* important for the American people to see, Mr. President. Because diplomacy is not forcing someone to do something. So now we know claims that Zelensky is rejecting diplomacy are bullshit. 020 0

Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Musk demanding info on what every government employee did all week is no different than Aetna demanding I see their "specialist" to get meds approval. I have doctors. And these folks have a boss; it isn't Elon Musk. No one should respond to the message. Traps don't work if no one takes the bait. 040 0

Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Then we got a drink and did what everyone here's doing this week -- shared stories about all the shitshows and insane fires at various fed workplaces right now. 020 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Fun loot (I wore my original 2004 Vote for Pedro pin). 010 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Federal government employees need a break after 2 weeks of insanity, so last night we grabbed the Verigans (and our kid) and went to Alamo Drafthouse's "Napoleon Dynamite" movie party with Efren Ramirez (Pedro). It was fantastic. We laughed, we wore side ponytails, it was much needed. 220 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Also: Bobba, Coristine and Shaotran haven't graduated from college yet. I don't know any civil servants who could qualify for their job without a college degree or 3-5 years of equivalent experience. 010 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Trump admin: Laws have no meaning anymore, unless lawbreaking affects *you.* So DOGE team Akash Bobba (age 21), Edward Coristine (19), Ethan Shaotran (22), Luke Farritor (23), Gautier Cole Killian (24), and Gavin Kliger (25) can breathe easy, despite breaking multiple laws themselves. 100 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Are the folks who voted for Trump because he was going to lower grocery prices going to rise up against him, or are they going to make excuses for him yet again? What about when Elon takes their Medicare payment away? 010 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Have you long desired to partake of gravy from General Washington's head? Does your syrup require a little colonial spice? General Washington shall save your waffles from an ignoble legacy! Huzzah! 010 0

Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Biden's head of OPM has been calling Trump out to several news orgs, which is exactly who I want to hear from. Cabinet randos have no idea what's going on with the civil service. 010 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Oh, c'mon. The Wash. Post Fact Focused his first week, his inaugural speech, called out his Davos b.s., etc. -- all stories published this week. NYT also fact-checked his speech, and called Patel a liar. (Well, it's NYT, so they said "demonstrably spurious claims.") And so on. 000 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Five longtime holds came in within a week of each other, right after I picked up a goodie or three. Plus I got some ARCs from Norton in the mail yesterday -- the new Lydia Millet short story collection and a promising-looking debut. And here I was finally going to start "Infinite Jest" in February. 020 0
Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 27/01/2025It was either the best week or the worst week to read "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis. Things that happened in the book AND in reality last week: 020 0

Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Whaaaaat! I knew about the hotel (we thought about staying there), but not that it reopened the Belvedere. I'll have to see if the gang will go; they've become hardcore Pocahontas fans in the wake of B.'s closure. 010 0

Sharon Olson Moores @sharonolsonmoores.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Dream scenario: California calls Trump's bluff, starts a modern Nullification Crisis, causes enough of a monetary delay that the administration has to negotiate. Fight a power-tripping money hog with money. 020 0
