Librarians, Archivists, & Archives that collect/manage popular culture materials-I've started a Discord server to discuss collections, materials, repositories, etc. to share info and build community. Comics, games, movies/tv, etc #popularculture #archives #archivists #librarians discord.gg/xvhWAhhkw

Ugh, the former librarian who was fired for being a creep to women at comic cons and has stalked a colleague of mine for YEARS has now turned to trying to contact all her coworkers because she has him blocked across all platforms. 📚

I say this all the time, but one of my clearest takeaways from reading a different ICE murder victim’s story every day of Lent is that every single employee of Geo Group belongs in The Hague

Adams County, CO health officials are investigating active cases of tuberculosis at the Aurora detention center but GEO facility hasn’t complied with a public health order requiring access. It is illegal under CO law to “willfully violate” a public health order. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/31/t...

We saw a bear today, from our rental home in Glenwood Springs, Colorado!!

There’s also something to how women are socialized to be suspicious of flattery — it’s how we transfer responsibility for men’s desire onto women’s bodies; we are taught to defend against that in service to our “innocence” or whatever — whereas men accept flattery as their due. Perfect marks.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Great goal, but what will be eroded in City services with the latest devastating budget projection? How many City staff layoffs are there going to be? Will any closed libraries reopen?

WATCH: Mayor Mike Johnston to promise universal childcare in final State of City speech before next election

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

A gentle reminder: libraries are still here, still free, still open to everyone. No appointment required. No subscription fee. Just walk in.

Run, do not walk, to watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople if you have not seen it already. So so so so incredible. #SamNeill

Meta’s Pursuit of the 'Careless People' Author Is Relentless and Self-Defeating

Yes, Sarah Wynn-Williams violated her deal to stay silent. But the power disparity bolsters the view that Meta is a heartless bully.

These Maine librarians are helping patrons resist AI and Big Tech

Despite breathless reporting on how AI is going to change the world, Hannah Cyrus, a Bangor librarian, said that, in her experience, most library patrons aren’t finding it helpful.

One thing I don’t think men understand is that rape and assault are so ubiquitous—and so perpetually immune from consequence or recognition—that many women learn to talk about these incidents as of they’re mere inconveniences. We are not allowed to treat them with more gravity.

A great thread with tips on supporting unhoused neighbors this summer! Carry a variety of these items in your car or day pack.

Claire Zagorski, MSc, EMT-P@clairezagorski.bsky.social · last mo.

Things your unhoused neighbors can use this summer, aside from the obvious: - candy (I get asks for this more than almost anything) - sunscreen (high SPF pls!) - lip balm (bonus for SPF) - electrolyte packets for water - cash - gift cards for fast food and/or accessible grocery stores 1/

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

TKarney@pecunium.bsky.social · last mo.

Lots to unpack here. 1: Leo isn't being as stern as I expected; he's being moreso. 2: He was ready for this. The subtext of his Jun 29 letter saying, "you can still walk away" is validated. Priests who wish to be reconciled must renounce Lefebvrism and probation www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-c...
