y'know I'm almost willing to believe there are good cops but until they start actively speaking out against not just George Floyd's murder but other acts of violence against marginalized communities and calling out their fellow officers....not gonna happen

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

@baevid_wines @foxyjewishmama @mollyfleck I mean yes we should! But on a fundamental level libraries are designed to be information centers, not community centers - turning them into a one size fits all catchall isn't helpful for people who need actual library services and forces staff into roles they're not trained for

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

@AlyssaWees He says hi!☺️ I started sending him screenshots as soon as this discourse started - it's honestly so bizarre to see so many people suddenly arguing about slides in the library when my family has had opinions on them for years now lol

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

@AlyssaWees I know exactly which library you're talking about (the lite brite board was a giveaway - my dad worked in your department ☺️) and yes to all of this!! It is a wonderful place run by wonderful people but it is very much not the place for a slide!

@VentraChicago I did both of those things and it's now been a full day with no pass and the app says my account is SUSPENDED. fix this.

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

@VentraChicago @cta just tried to buy a monthly pass, app said the payment didn't go through so tried again, and now I've been charged TWICE but still don't have the pass. tried calling customer service and I got dead silence for 15 minutes before hanging up. where's my pass????

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

@VentraChicago @cta @ctaaction @FireDorvalC guessing you guys are gonna hear about this one a lot today

@ro_ro_ro_urboat THIS IS SO CUTE

Tonight, we have shown the world the power of hope, the strength of organizing, and the might of our collective voice.

Tomorrow, the real work begins. We will build a safer, stronger Chicago that reflects the hopes and dreams of every one of us — together.

I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is better wages and benefits for the union editors at Saturday Night Live.

This International Women’s Day, let’s remember that most of the people who make your clothes - from Shein to haute couture - are women, and their work should be valued and respected.

@LilMsBatty Plus based on tweets from vintage fashion people I've seen, the coat at the center of it all is super reasonably priced for that type of leather and style ($120 used vs $500-$600 new) but nobody seems willing to talk about the weirdos charging $50+ for stained off brand stuff

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

as someone who resells clothes as a side gig but generally doesn't source from thrift stores (more of an estate sale girly), my only contribution to the discourse is that I am afraid of full time resellers because anyone who chooses to do this full time is fucking insane

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

@LilMsBatty if I charged $100 for this fairly nice but definitely used coat (some small stains, I had to fix one of the pockets) and someone actually bought it, then I would be an asshole and they would be a silly little fool...so many resellers astound me w their prices

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

ok sorry I'm spiraling into clothes discourse but I would like to dedicate this tweet to every theatre major/sorority person I knew in college who would buy a new outfit for every single party that had a theme and then never wear those clothes again

[leo of arakko says 🔺RESIST🔺 @arakkosuperstar]

remembering when oomf said a solution to not buying fast fashion is to accept that u don’t need to buy new clothes for every event u go to and y’all got so maaaad

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

to the full time thrift girlies: I sort of support your vaguely unethical hustle, I GUESS, but more importantly, blink twice if you need help. I am terrified of you

[anna walker💫 @annaiwalker]

me, scrubbing 50 year old dried food out of the pockets of a vintage trenchcoat just so some idiot can offer me $10 for it on depop: you know what would be great? doing this all day every day and having all of my expenses depend on it
