Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I'm good at helping people find information and community, same reasons I was a decent RA before...
Also, and I know this reason irks a lot of annoying people in the field, but I like books...
So I figured, why not libraries?
Pays better than any bookstore jobs I can find 🤷♂️

This crosswalk on Grove St (or maybe it is Gold Star by this point) is a scary place to be a pedestrian, let me tell you
I just almost got hit by a huge truck, honking and angrily slingshotting around two other lanes that had stopped and waved me out
