Texr reads: Librarians are generals in the war on ignorance.

The image is a colored drawing signed by something like Lisis 2012.

It is a library with many shelves full of books. There is a tuxedo cat of typical size standing ok their hind legs holding 4 tiny books in front of them. The cat appears to be wearing glasses. But otherdie is typical cat. There is an open book on the ground.

We never pay attention to the lead up, only the horrific outcome. According to AI we’re in 1931 Germany comparatively.

I feel this on such a deep level. When the first question from a new semester of students was, “Who has the door if we get an active shooter?” we have failed our kids. We are on the front lines and we will keep protecting them no matter what unconscionable thing you throw at us next.

As an elementary school secretary, I can confirm this is 1000% accurate.

😂 The article is from 2020, and both of my very liberal daughters complain about how many conservative men will still try to date them. It's the men who can't understand why liberal women don't want THEM.

A day in the life of an herbalist/kitchen witch:
Sourdough rising, elderberry syrup straining, nettle tea steeping, and a hair-growth oil infusing in the air fryer.

Learn how to be a more effective communicator, get people to rethink their opinions & values (including yourself!), & teach you how to have productive, engaging, & useful debates with people who think very differently than you. I am proof it is possible!

Could a botanica/witchy/makerspace work?? Like, come buy your herbs, tea, and tarot cards while you laser cut wood and plan an uprising with friends? Maybe refill your bulk, zero-waste laundry soap after a nice sound bath or yoga session??

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.

That's not something you get over.

My favorite thing today was getting my sick coworker to drink an herbal concoction AND my elderberry syrup. The bonus was that she kept calling them "magical potions", not knowing how very true that was. 😂 #herbalwitch #kitchenwitch #witchsky #herbalist

“If we think about how we might be perpetuating a culture that produces rapists, it forces a level of introspection that makes people very uncomfortable. That introspection leads to action and choices about how we can change our lives.”

I decided to tackle some emergency prepping today, but I honestly don't know where to start. Are we prepping for a natural disaster, the apocalypse, or just the fascist gov't coup-in-progress?? Suggestions?

Isn't getting a prisoner to agree to a blatant falsehood - like saying the sky is green - an interrogation technique to prime them for compliance? Is the ridiculous demand that everyone uses "Gulf of America" just a test to see who will comply and how much it takes to overcome resistance?
