#Trump is meeting #Putin in #Alaska?
And what?
Evil mafia don manipulates orange manchild and decides #Ukraine without Ukrainians?
🤷
#EU: hold strong
Ignore this shit
The world of #USSR v #USA in ideological struggle is dead. What is left is shambling corpses of their former selves, reduced to an atavistic state
#Russia with a Tsar doing land war #imperialism. Stupid. USA doing #bigotry and #plutocracy to kill its #democracy. Stupid
They don't matter
The world is #Europe and #China now

It's like rain on your wedding day 🎵
what?
🎵 And isn't it ironic? 🎵
no
🎵 Don't you think? 🎵
no
it's just unfortunate

Mount Olympus is a massif while Mount Kilimanjaro is a stratovolcano
so:
🎶
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
❌
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Fuji above the Serengeti

So much progress is lost in this world holding ground against malice
For #Ukraine the cost is measured in human lives instead of wasted time
Not a full accounting yet, but we can see who is passing from us in this world for the vital struggle against the ego, narcissism, and greed of monsters
#RIP Ihor Klymovych, cultural activist
"#Artist, #historian Ihor Klymovych was killed fighting for #Kharkiv Oblast"
Many lost
Many more will be lost

#Australia:
What the fuck are you doing?

(and i am highly dubious of the viral social media claim they are, uh, "testing," seems fake)
Not to do one of those "Americans make everything about themselves" type comments, but bear with me for a moment here:
The "mature #democracy" is dying because it's so lazy defending something it never thought it had to defend
While the emerging democracy vibrantly defends its institutions because it's painfully aware of what it can lose and how much it suffered to get the chance to have one

attention #librarians #librarian #libraries
engagement with the #community is your mission
emulate the #TheSummerGame of #AnnArbor, which succeeded in creating #library mania:
"How a #publiclibrary's summer game took over a #Michigan city"
'"This summer, we have 16,000 active players..." Not bad for a library that serves about 150,000 people. It's such a local sensation that one couple even got married while playing what's known in town as "The Summer Game."'

"#NewYork opens first-in-nation #homeless #shelter for #transgender people"
#Trans people face heavy #housing and #job #discrimination, this is a huge help
Sometimes I'm angry at my state, "New York you fucking suck!" (if you're not swearing every other word you're not a real knickerbocker- a New Yorker)
But sometimes I'm quite fond of #NY ❤
️
My country, well we're not going to talk about that right now 😠
