PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana.

For the 79% of heterosexual married women whose legal married name doesn’t match your birth certificate or passport, get ready to have your voting rights frozen.

Yes, read that again.

No, that is not hyperbole.

Act now.
“If a married woman hasn’t paid $130 to update her passport —assuming she has one, which only about half of Americans do— she may not be able to vote in the next election if the SAVE Act becomes law,” @wendyweiser.bsky.social tells Glamour
The SAVE Act Could Stop Millions of Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to Know
The bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to vote.

My fellow Canadians! Did you know our trans friends in the US can't seek asylum in Canada despite their lives being in danger in their home country right now? Welp there is a petition you can sign to help change that! www.momentumcanada.net/pathways?rec...
Sign the petition: Canada must update travel guidance and create clear, accessible pathways for trans refugees

Just a reminder that there are a ton of options (digital! Not just physical!) to get books and movies and tv that aren’t run by evil shit lords. Sign up for a library card today!!
For real — get a library card, sign up for hoopla, kanopy, and Libby and then enjoy
I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.

You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.

You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.

You want sourced info? Library.

The app Libby pairs with your local library, and you can read/listen to audio books in the app or send the books to your e-reader. Libraries are an amazing tool, and we should, as a collective society, patronize them obsessively during these 4 years because the alt-right is attacking education.

maybe it's a fun time to switch to @librofm.bsky.social for audiobooks. Select the indie bookstore you'd like to support, listen away. Comp prices to aforementioned jerks

This is a disaster.

It feels strange to be living in a nation hell-bent on self-inflicted decay, helpless to do much about it.
More from inside NIH:

Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday.

That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

Facebook is taking down posts from the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska sharing how off-reservation members can obtain tribal IDs to protect citizens from ICE. Facebook is marking it as “misinformation.”
