Hey, @ipostnews.bsky.social, this made me think of you
"There is no Substack or interactive website... We want people to hold it, touch it + seek it out... That physicality gives the work its value, adding presence to information, relationships + the neighborhood itself. This is active engagement with your neighborhood + your neighbors."

Also true of articles! If your library doesn't have the periodical in question, they can get a copy for you via interlibrary loan (ILL).
Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

Last night, I took a shift in the @buffalodsa.bsky.social Strike Kitchen. Until demands are won, we’ll be cooking for Starbucks workers so they don’t have to worry about food while they’re on the picket line. Solidarity forever!
