An ode to public #libraries

Worth reading if you:

* Don't have a library card
* Think libraries are obsolete
* Waste $ on #research databases and ebooks that are free with a library card
* Want core democratic institutions to counter balance #fascism
* Believe in the power of #literacy
* Know that #community gathering places are inherently good
* Can't remember your last library event, though maybe a #storytime as a child

The Daily WildcatOPINION: An ode to public librariesPublic libraries are among the last truly democratic institutions in our society, offering free and open access to knowledge, resources and refuge for all who seek them, reporter Andres F. Diaz notes. Yet, despite their undeniable role in fostering education, social support and health equity, they are increasingly under attack.

this year has been the best year of my life so far

getting to finally be who I am as a #trans girl, pursuing #sports, building #community, taking #photos and being excised from my ex have liberated me beyond anything I thought possible

has it been hard? yes

has #therapy been a major role in realizing these things? you betcha.

but that I have the self-confidence to be who I am and be able to have a heart full of compassion, joy, and (let's be honest) girly giggles, warms my heart

👀 A little bit of farm, a little bit of suburbia: That’s the recipe for Agritopia👩‍🌾 👨‍👩‍👦 🌇 🌽 🍓

"Some developers have turned to the agrihood concept in the past couple of decades to lure buyers with a different kind of amenity. At least 27 U.S. states and Canadian provinces had agrihoods as of a 2018 report from the Urban Land Institute, and more have cropped up since then."

STOP EVICTIONS—SIGN BELOW

🏘️ This open letter is in conjunction with CATU Ireland and MASI - sign and share with friends and family if you want to be a part of putting an end to Emergency Accommodation, IPAS, and other precarious living evictions! ⬇️

Google DocsOpen Letter Stop the Eviction of residents in Emergency Direct Provision AccommodationTo IPAS, The Department of Integration, Department of Housing and City and County Councils, CATU and MASI demands the withdrawal of eviction notices by IPAS and the provision of suitable accommodation and wrap-around support for people being threatened in direct provision and emergency accommodation. Hundreds of people are being threatened with eviction this month. They have been told to leave current direct provision accommodation, uproot themselves from their communities and move across the country, or potentially end up on the streets. CATU Ireland, will defend our members from evictions, discrimination and mistreatment by the state and private landlords. We demand that IPAS: 1) Withdraw the eviction notices immediately. We also demand that the Department of Integration, Department of Housing and City and County Councils engage with CATU as a union and do the following: 2) Organise suitable alternative accommodation which is agreed by residents. 3) Provide wrap around mental health and community support services for every resident.

A tool library is something every congregation & community center should have. It's silly for everyone to buy things you only use once or twice a year.

Most congregations have benevolence funds for their members, but nonprofit non-religious mutual aid societies where everyone donates monthly, which is then used for vetted member emergencies, is also good. (Panhandling on the web is not "mutual aid.")

The Many Innovative Spheres of Organized Sharing David Bollier, originally published by David Bollier blog May 28, 2025 In its many projects, Shareable has shown just how diverse, creative, and consequential organized sharing can be. The power of bottom-up collaboration focused on specific needs is powerful. When modest infrastructures are created to empower people to contribute their talents, some amazing things happen. Tools at the Oakland Tool Lending Library, in Temescal, CA, by Mx. Granger via Wikimedia Commons. "Google and Facebook revamped their digital algorithms to steer Internet users interested in sharing to more popular, mainstream websites, siphoning away a big chunk of Shareable’s followers. These circumstances pushed Neal Gorenflo, Shareable’s then-executive director...and several staff & board members to realize: Maybe the most urgent priority should be to organize people. Shareable decided to develop an organizing strategy with vanguard players in various fields – urban commons, tool-sharing, cooperatives, mutual aid networks – while remaining a storyteller... Its organizing has significantly deepened its impact. In the latest episode of my Frontiers of Commoning podcast (Episode #62), I talk with Tom Llewellyn, now Shareable’s executive director, about the group’s pivot to organizing & the partnerships that are expanding organized sharing."

What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
