What a woman. Get shit done! Louise Casey: ‘We need a change of government. This lot are spent’ https://t.co/lI9hcZXLwS

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

writing professors will tell you “completely evil characters are unrealistic” and then you meet people who are like “children should work in the mines for a crust of bread” or “we could lower the marginal tax rate if we burned down the libraries”

US states but every state is named like West Virginia

The chemical was racism.

[shireenahmed.bsky.social @_shireenahmed_]

Just got off a 15 hr flight (am still in transit to YYZ at SFO) and during security was subject to a full body pat down because my hijab had a "chemical" in it. Security does not know what chemical - I asked. Nor do they have a file or incident number that I can inquire about.

And if you need further proof of just how important libraries are, consider that the largest school district in Texas is replacing a third of its libraries with “discipline centers.” Well-informed children who enjoy reading are a fascist’s worst nightmare.

Good on @BookPeople. Let's all buy a book from them as a show of support. Not everyone has the guts to stand up to injustice. Happy to see that my favorite local bookstore has the chutzpah to do it. #BansOffOurBooks

@ToxicTaskForce1 @MattBinder Do you mean to tell me that my affinity for hurling heavy objects around is NOT because I picked Scots at character gen?

[Old Before my Time @hederaLC]

@LPNH Do y'all just not respond, or is this a case of your mouth being bigger than your brain?

[Old Before my Time @hederaLC]

@LPNH Can anyone get that deal?

Philippines, Morocco, Panama, Vietnam, Haiti, Ireland, Zambia and Portugal are a win for women's football. Ecosystems of sport were not meant to be restricted. They need to grow, be paid, supported and thrive.
New teams create precedent for other countries dreaming of competing.

As a former student of the late journalism program at A&M, all of this tracks.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

When Texas A&M announced that Kathleen McElroy, a respected journalist with a long career, would spearhead the revival of the journalism program, there was fanfare. But, within days, McElroy said she was told there was a target on her back. https://t.co/Dg7CcD7p8O

“You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”—LBJ, 1965

@NationalGallery Why does the equestrian painting of Charles I have the "I" on? Was it added later?

@ScottHermann11 @WSJ You can adopt.

[Old Before my Time @hederaLC]

@GregAbbott_TX That would have paid for lunches for a lot of kids. Or new books. Or new school buildings. Or raises for teachers.

To be fair, Biden really did fuck-all to mend things after the assassination.

[Brett Pransky @BrettPransky]

@tolmanbrett And ... who was AG in 2020?

This is like asking Biden to resign for getting us into World War One.
