"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) cited one of the most prominent historical antisemitic narratives as her reason for not approving legislation aimed at combating antisemitism on Wednesday. Greene posted on the site formerly known as Twitter to explain her thinking."

@MylesRyden @wdlindsy
There is a lot of clear, objective writing out there on hypocrisy behind so much of the GOP's narrative (that the entire national leadership/ Party had fallen in place and is marching lockstep behind the false savior / presumed Presidential contender should be sufficient evidence, but...)

A Field Guide to White Supremacy

Drawing explicit lines, across time and a broad spectrum of violent acts, to provide the definitive field guide for understanding and opposing white supremacy in America.

Covering immigration, antisemitism, gendered violence, lynching, and organized domestic terrorism, the authors reveal white supremacy as a motivating force in manifold parts of American life.

When your power's out, when you need a place to charge your phone, when you want to get inside and out of the cold... when you want to find something to read... Thank goodness for libraries!

Oh, and by the way!... Free eCards for teens and young adults across the US: https://mastodon.social/@RunRichRun/111696261485452067

Great initiative:

Pretty sure teens & young adults in the US can still get an eCard (borrow ebooks, audio, etc.) from the Brooklyn Public Library: https://www.cnet.com/culture/how-teenagers-can-borrow-banned-books-for-free-from-brooklyn-public-library/

There's no online application — email the library @ [email protected] to request a free card.

Similar programs with free eCards for all youth nationwide —

Boston: https://www.bpl.org/books-unbanned/

San Diego: https://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/booksunbanned

Missed this (from July 2023) —

Toast: "Never have libraries in the United States been more threatened than they are right now. There are politicians across the country banning thousands of books and making it illegal for minors to access library materials."

Chaser: "But there’s another threat to libraries looming that I haven’t seen anyone else talking about: capitalist enshittification[*]."

One of my quiet guerrilla tactics against book banners is to buy banned books at the thrift store and place them in Little Free Libraries:

Sunday I pulled two books from my shelves that I've been meaning to read forever and set them bedside so they'd be "up next." Now somehow there are six books on the pile. They either breed when I'm not looking, or I am confused by the meaning of "up next" and how many eyes I have. @bookstodon

It's so many of us 😀 —

"Tsundoku" (積ん読) — Japanese word for "the practice of buying a lot of books and keeping them in a pile because you intend to read them but have not done so yet; also used to refer to the pile itself"
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/tsundoku

I first encountered the word on the old, now sad site, in a tweet from Rob Macfarlane, who is a wonderfully thoughtful nature writer (& more) —a sample: https://linktr.ee/robmacfarlane

Guilty as charged!! 📚 😂

Have a great day! 😀
