da pope! first affirming migrant rights and now this

(and yes the headline is clickbait-y by design)

You won’t believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists

Charlie Jane "Lessons in Magic and Disaster" Anders 🏳️‍⚧ @charliejane.bsky.social · 24d

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.

But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!

It's easy! Check your library's website.

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 12h

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

Ran into this young muskrat out enjoying an evening snack at the local wetlands yesterday. #wildlife #muskrat

A muskrat sits in the shallow water, chewing on a green reed. Have a great day!

Fossilized Tree Resin @jamberee13.bsky.social · Mar 31

She’s a ten but she’s been staring from the tree line for hours. You sometimes think shes left but then, no, she’s still there, shadowed by pines, her image mirage-like, flickering. When you point her out to a friend, they do not see her. She leaves three stones inscribed with runes in the ferns.

#OtD 10 Oct 1908 suffragettes and unemployed men stormed a meeting hosted by PM Herbert Asquith in Leeds, UK. The groups were holding separate protests and met by chance, and decided to rush the meeting. A window was broken and there were a few arrests stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8243...
