TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”
Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

abolishing the private #adoption industry and ending the legal practice of plenary adoption—the irreversible rewriting of a child’s legal identity and falsification of their natal kinship relations—does *not* mean abolishing long-term custodial care for a child who needs it. +

College Course Evals Question:
Anyone know of a system that lets faculty create choose-your-own-adventure course evals? So maybe 5 questions for everyone in the college, but then you can select the performing arts question bundle, or the science lab bundle, or even add a few of your own questions.

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids
The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.
This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

quickest way to kill the vibe when they’re sharing the latest tearful #adoptee reunion story is to ask why it was ever allowed for a parent and their child to be hidden from each other in the first place
i’m in that melancholy mood again where i reflect on the fact that a system of secrecy and identity erasure designed for the efficient taking and selling of children and was pioneered and popularized by literal child thieves is now universally beloved and seems absolutely impossible to dismantle 🥚
