Accidentally binged Pluribus, oops
This show reminds me a lot of Mrs Davis, a show I think no one but me watched, which is a real shame because it was absolutely bonkers in a delightful way

It's not just laws about books that are breaking libraries. Several states have passed property tax reforms–or are in the process of passing them–that are dismantling, destroying, and defunding these public institutions of democracy.

It's Not Just Laws About Books Breaking Libraries. It's Also New Tax Reforms.
Two states have passed property tax cuts that are directly impacting public libraries. Expect to see this happen more.

Walter de Staplecat, Simpkin IV, Teabag, Balthasar and Benny D Cat take the stage as we meet the college cats of Oxford. And, of course, Magdalen’s Ozymandias. Read on for our photo special. (Includes a cat map.) oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...
College cats of Oxford
Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics.

Not two weeks after a democratic socialist is elected mayor of New York City, 86 Democratic House members vote to 'condemn socialism.'

Everytime I check out books at my library the same student worker is behind the desk and then I just have to stand there and pretend like I don’t know she thinks I’m unhinged because I’m always checking out books with covers like this

Speaking of unhinged, I am now also listening to this ARC audiobook which is pitched as a sapphic Addie LaRue. I am 30% in and it is batshit.

Was thinking about cutting my hair off at my next appointment and doing something gayer but my best friend got drunk and just called me specifically to tell me how luscious and beautiful my hair is so maybe i won’t 😂

Not sure how I feel about the structure of this yet (dual timelines + dual POV), but I’m listening to the new ROSALÍA album while reading it and I have to say, the vibes are immaculate
Next up, because I actually bought this for my sister so I need to read it before I give it to her at thanksgiving
I’ve been reading Young for over a decade and she rarely disappoints, so excited for her second adult book!

I’ve decided I’m going to learn how to embroider so I bought a sampler kit and the SECOND I set that hoop down Evangeline was like “perfect. seat for me.”

My favorite of these is the guy who thinks men with PhDs don’t ever want to be called doctor because that’s “reserved for MDs.” My guy, my sir, you haven’t ever set foot on a college campus have you

I keep having dreams where I realize it’s November and I haven’t once logged on to any of my online classes all semester and I haven’t done any assignments so now I’m failing library school and it always takes me a minute when I wake up to remember that I finished my MLIS 4.5 years ago 😭

I was getting really annoyed at The Phoenix Keeper because it was advertised as a sapphic romance but I was 50% in and she was still in love with a man, but she just went on a date with him and he started talking about how his hobby is playing the stock market so I think my girl Aila is safe
Made a decision 😂

Reading: THE EVERLASTING. Started this last night before bed and had to force myself to put it down and go to sleep.
Listening: THE PHOENIX KEEPER. Cozy sapphic fantasy about zookeepers for magical animals.

If you need it to be alive, it should be free. Water, food, shelter, medical care, transportation, utilities.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Used the wrong “there” in an email to a student today and have been thinking about it ever since but seeing all these emails from rich, powerful, well-educated men who have the grammar and formatting of a third grader are making me feel a lot better about my typo.

the path forward is clear: we must elect pro-transit mayors in an unbroken string of municipalities from NYC to Seattle, and finally get that high-speed rail line built. forget the feds, forget the states even
🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has expanded her lead in the Seattle mayor race. She is now leading by 1,976 votes, which means that the race is no longer in automatic recount territory.
