Hi new (apparently mostly Colorado) people! I am a librarian/archivist at a private university here, I am from Kansas (6 gens back on my mom's side), and I am an abolitionist, believer in harm reduction, and the need to protect public goods and services, including but not limited to libraries.
I decided to watch the multi part docuseries about some of the worst and some of the bravest people, and a) Virginia Giuffre was an amazing human being who I am even more impressed by than before and b) I hope Alan Dershowitz being shunned at Martha's Vinyard is the tip of the iceberg

Listening to "The Littlest Birds" by the Be Good Tanyas and remembering my initially hearing of it forever ago as "the little-ass birds sing the prettiest songs" and I think it still works 🕊️

You don't know what else someone who's wearing a red knitted cap is doing, and they prob shouldn't announce all the things they are doing — nor do we want the fash to be able to identify who is and isn't doing heavy resistance work by virtue of a hat. Let symbols be popular.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show will be interpreted by Celimar Rivera Cosme into Puerto Rican Sign Language, a unique dialect used on the island that academic researchers and other experts consider endangered.
Bad Bunny’s Sign Language Interpreter Will Make Super Bowl History, Too
Puerto Rican Sign Language is not the same as American Sign Language. Celimar Rivera Cosme will uniquely capture the rapper’s slang for the game’s deaf viewers.

Climate injustice made an appearance at the Super Bowl last night. Most don't know that Puerto Rico struggles with reliable electricity due to systemic racism. The government refuses to invest in any real grid improvements, so lights will be kept on at resorts while Puerto Ricans sit in the dark.

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.
Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.
