my father is a municipal judge. In 2013 NM made gay marriage legal. In protest, every judge in his county stopped performing ALL marriages. Except my dad, who bought a rainbow bow tie and had me rewrite his vows to be gender-neutral. Here he 9 months later at his 80th ceremony.

Jack Black is a celebrity. He's a movie star. He's a rock star. He oozes charisma and sex appeal and charm. It absolutely kills me that people find 100 ways to talk around this, 99 of them because he's fat.

this is NOT a conspiracy theory and every librarian knows it's true - they hate the spaces, they hate the community, they hate that it's free. And as they've collapsed social services, libraries do even MORE and the fascists hate that too, because they want it ALL gone.

My conspiracy theory is that fascists actually don’t give a hoot about “inappropriate” content in books; they’re attacking libraries and librarians because libraries are vital spaces that foster community. And fascists fear community. It’s a scheme to shut down public libraries.

I don't know how to tell everyone but - librarians are actually not usually quiet and we don't really do the shushing anymore and many of us are very LOUD with BIG voices has anyone mentioned this to publishing.

@AmyDesigns He's done so many! I think he's still tracking them. The other judges gave in when it became legal nationwide. He's very smarmy about that "everyone pretending they always were on board, hmmpff!"

+ PRACTICE THE SCRIPT, say that shit out-loud, write it down on little cards you can hand out. Imagine they're recording you with the fervent hope that they can corner you and get it to go viral and practice not letting them get any good footage.

And listen, you can literally call up your public library tomorrow and be like I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE TONS OF BOOKS ABOUT QUEER KIDS!!! HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOU!! it is an immediate, short-term action. But this is long-term work to keep an eye on. Time to pay attention.

I wear a mask in public for lots of reasons but a big one is that a handful of my students still mask for THEIR own reasons and, plain and simple, I want to be an ally for them so they know they're not alone. #MaskUpC19

I wear a mask in public because Covid is NOT mild, it’s a dangerous level 3 pathogen, and we are still in an active pandemic. I want masking in public spaces, especially hospitals, so if you agree, show me your mask in comments, copy this and let’s see who’s out there. #MaskUpC19

today one of my Native students, their arms loaded with books, told me "Ms. Angie there's just TOO MANY books by Native authors I want to read all at once." and man I know we've got work to do but in this moment I felt like I could see the future and it was so bright.

+ If you don't have a collection development policy that requires any challenges to be put into writing, well, I'd look into making those changes. Who controls the money at your library? A board? Local government? Time to get cozy with them and get them prepared too.

White people: don't expect Black people do any god damn work for you, ever but especially today. Stop asking what to do or read or think. FIGURE IT OUT. You have the tools and the emotional bandwidth. Do it! If you can't, for once just shut the fuck up and bear witness.

+Ask them who needs to hear this support and how you can get it registered. Can you write a letter to your local news source? Can you attend a public meeting and voice your support there? What do they need from you, a supportive member of the public who uses the library.

worth mentioning that ableism ruined this moment and letting an 83 year old man access a ceremony during a pandemic on terms he felt comfortable with was consciously denied. Denial of accessibility caused producers to get the exact ending they deserved.

I can confirm Anthony Hopkins offered to Zoom into the ceremony and Oscar producers turned him down... but another rumor said Olivia Colman was ready to accept for him, which as near as I can determine isn't true. She's busy shooting a movie and only showed up for her category.

@insatiable_ @DebbyRyan you have a chance to make creative, engaging, original content from fat people about fat people's lives and you choose to ... put a skinny person in a fat suit and make jokes about how sad her life is and about what a crazy bitch she turns into. That's so lazy and pathetic.
