A screen shot of a community guidelines violation for #libraryofalexandria from TikTok
If you’re someone like me who’s still on TikTok, don’t use TikTok shop. They removed the hashtag #libraryofalexandria from my video because the word “library” is too woke. I’m so over it. @bsky.app , please keep developing your video app #skylight

USAID in Alexandria, Egypt
Great Library of Alexandria
USAID. So on my trip to Egypt, I came across few places that had a sign similar to the one here: "with the help of USAID"... this particular one was at the site of the Library of Alexandria. Trumpsters are scared of education and books so this tracks. #usaid #libraryofalexandria #resistance

#Libraries have existed for 1000s of years, with the 1st known ones in ancient Mesopotamia (~ 2500 BCE) storing clay tablets 📜.
The #LibraryofAlexandria (~ 300 BCE) was one of the most famous ancient libraries 📚.
Over time, libraries evolved, becoming centers of #knowledge and public #education 🏛️.
