Fascism sucks, and if you defend it as nothing more than a differing opinion, you suck too.

His project helped me greatly during my 100-book reading challenge a few years ago. Rest in peace.

The entire @openlibrary.org team would like to express our deep sadness at the loss of our friend Greg Newby who, for years, has seeded @gutenberg.org with public good, open access values worth continuing to follow. Thank you for your beautiful contributions. You are missed.

NEW: Inside the Trump Administration's Bluesky Invasion

Spoke with some administration officials who said the move was about "reaching new audiences." It's amounted to trench warfare.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

They probably took them all to the back and sorted through them, kept what they wanted and threw away the rest. That's what Funimation was doing. Artisans who handmade any gifts given at this con should start checking eBay and other marketplaces for keywords. I hate people.

Various VTubers report TwitchCon threw out fans’ gifts from Meet & Greets

Ironmouse: “It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.”

I deeply apologize to all the tubers and the fans who had meet and greets at the vtuber booth this year. It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.

I was informed that the gifts people brought for me at the Twitchcon M&G were thrown out by con/venue staff.
I spoke to each of you about how excited I was to open your gifts, and I know you took the time/ effort.
I'm still so grateful, but I'm so sorry I couldn't see them...

More govt accounts have popped up, including mirror accounts for each of them. Don't believe for a minute when they say they're not affiliated. Block on sight.

It's Asexual Awareness Week (or Ace Week)! Did you know #asexuality isn't just one thing, but an entire spectrum with many identities and experiences?

No matter where you are on the ace spectrum, you are part of our community!
