- Sending love to all those struggling on this Mother's Day. We see you. 💐 www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
- As someone whose lungs are messed up from growing up in a working class industrial Detroit neighborhood, this makes my blood boil. Dr. Oz, RFK Jr. would say that it's our fault for having these chronic conditions instead of... well, racist environmental policy.
- Today's earworm is still "I used to rule the world." I think the reason why I can't get a pop song everyone knows and that was part of that 2008 soundtrack off my mind is because it feels like our nation-state/empire is falling / has fallen. Will we even make it to our 250th?
- The reason why I cry listening to these old songs isn't because I want to return to the past. It's through music that I get to bear witness to all my past selves. I can see the girl and woman I used to be. She doesn't know I'm there. I know my future self is here, right now, watching these tears.
- A champion for libraries and literacy! Dr. Hayden deserves better than to be at the mercy of this rogue administration.
- What better day to launch a Bluesky account than our birthday? We turn 225 today! 🎂 🥳 Here's a brief summary of the Library's history, courtesy of Dr. Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress. www.loc.gov/about/histor...
