A long time ago on Twitter or Tumblr someone described Jewish holidays as "they tried to kill us and failed, let's eat".
I can't help but think today about how the failures to kill the community still often end in dead bodies of individuals. In blood on the ground and mourning.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

The Democrats are Republicans for people who think they aren’t Republicans.
They know they would win easily if they embraced radicalism, but that’s also risks people unifying in the way Fred Hampton envisioned.
And the worst fear of every US politician and industrialist is social unity.

Leftism is the democrats' boogeyman & scapegoat for why they never win, but actually leftism's what they need, which they realize at times when they appropriate radicalism. Equitable distribution of resources & collective care that counters capitalism is what everyone's screaming for from them.

Unfortunately, York Public Library's board of directors passed this policy. That now means York Public Library will allow discrimination in collection development and ram through the use of partisan book review sites like RatedBooks to make professional collection decisions.

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

I could be wrong (I frequently am) but most people who call out racism, transphobia, ableism, and other prejudices, at least in my experience, aren't trying to cancel anyone.
They're asking for accountability. They want us to own our errors and be humble about them. And that's reasonable.

I still think a lot about the fact that Gamergate did essentially win. Not that it made the culture significantly more misogynistic or anything, but it succeeded in making a lot of the people who played games eventually casually much more anti-intellectual and incurious.

The destruction of the federal government disproportionately affects black women. The federal civil service has long been a good career option because of the strong equal opportunity enforced in the civil service that has historically blunted the double discrimination that black women face.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
