I shared this in a bunch of other places already, but my best friend Michelle's husband Ben was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. They both work in film and have to cut way back on work so he can get treatment. Maybe you can donate, too. www.gofundme.com/f/bucket-ben...

This take is painful.
Just saw over on Instagram that @firestorm.coop, a really awesome worker-owned radical bookstore and mutual aid hub in Asheville, NC, is struggling financially and needs support to stay open.
I highly recommend buying books from them, and becoming a sustainer on Patreon if you can!

Deep in a small village, Hyun Sook and I found this 96 year old pavilion that was built as a secret spot for locals to illegally read all the Korean literature and poetry that was banned under Japanese occupation.

The Cesar Chavez story discussed yesterday is out, in the New York Times. Two women say that he sexually assaulted them as children, beginning when they were 12 and 13. And Dolores Huerta says he raped her in 1966.
@librariesftp.bsky.social is currently running our 3rd cohort for people who want to run for or seek appointment to their library boards. In just the past few years, we've seen interest ebb and flow in terms of these positions. Leftists should be focused on library governance. Seriously.
Boston needs a tenement / public housing museum! In another life, I have money to make it happen

The Boston Public Library unwisely made a wager with the Seattle Public Library over the results of Super Bowl LX. Now, thanks to the Seahawks’ win over the New England Patriots, Boston readers are getting a dose of Seattle culture.
Because it's made by dead-eyed morons who understand nothing, believe in nothing, bring no beauty to the world, have no capacity for reflection, and immiserate our collective existence with every hateful sentence they squirt out of their wet, waxy mouths. NEXT.
This is so sad. It is a very principled school that took an early stand on divestment from Israeli apartheid.

Anarchist friends, what zines/books/blog posts/etc are you giving to friends these days who are interested in learning more about anarchism?
Des was arrested and accused of moving anarchist zines from one place to another and needs our help.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.
Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.
This is great news. 📚
Massachusetts folks!!!! Anti-book ban bill call to action.
Their product has literally contributed to the deaths of kids.
