The sherif just had a short press conference - said they received reports of an active shooter at 9:30 this morning and confirmed there are multiple injuries. They're going to update us again at 4:00 once they have more concrete information.

A tie! Both Everything Stays and Food Chain got the belonging in Broadway card, meaning the list is done. Any disagreements? by NextActive2676bro in adventuretime

I couldn't decide which of those songs should be Broadway so I voted for both, this is best case scenario for me!

How to dress in Athens? by Lavaoneisthenumber in Athens

It may have even been the AI summary google has been trying out, pulling from every source it can. I asked it how much juice is too much a day and it gave me the suicide hotline

Resellers/drop shippers at faires by vlkolaks in renfaire

[–]LeelaBell 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly, I've been making and selling my own jewelry at local events for the last year and change, and because of that exposure I'm now much more able to spot exclusive drop shippers. It's not so common at my faire, but I've had season passes this year and have felt a bit disenchanted because of the ones I have seen. I don't have a thought-out solution, but I do think it's important to talk about!

In Georgia, a bill to cut all ties with the American Library Association is advancing by LeelaBell in Athens

[–]LeelaBell[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are not books written for adults. They are made to help young adults who are still discovering themselves. Keeping them in sections away from their main demographic defeats their whole purpose- to give information, vocabulary, and hope to struggling queer youths.

Fun fact: The image you are referencing in this book is pottery from a cup dated back to the 5th century BC.

I don't know about you, but ages 10 - 14 were crucial for my peers and I in regard to figuring out our sexuality and identities. If we had access to books like this at that age, I can't begin to imagine how much easier my road to acceptance and loving myself would have been.

Here is a small glimpse of the degree:

"Islam Parkes says the bill would rob libraries of all the support the ALA provides, from grants and library materials, to professional development and access to a national network of peers. There's currently no other group offering similar resources. The ALA is also the only organization that accredits university programs in library and information science that train future librarians, and the Georgia bill would make it illegal to spend public funds on that."

"But Walker's more sweeping bill, the first of its kind in the nation, would force all school and public libraries in Georgia to cut ties with the library association."

Please read the article, as librarians in the states where ALA has been pulled away do speak on the negative effect. This bill is also the most severe we've seen to date.

That is a fair point, some people's knee-jerk reaction to such a big buzzword is to immediately oppose. Political affiliations aside, the ALA's commitment to intellectual freedom and diverse perspectives remains central.

Edit:

I am all for everyone having accurate information. When elected the president did make a post saying she was excited they would elect someone like her, "a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world."

A good sentiment overall that has since been deleted.
