One thing you can do to show up for libraries after these devastating budget cuts: USE THE LIBRARY. Numbers matter!

Maintain an active card in all three library systems! Borrow books often! Visit your local branch! Attend events! Talk and post about it when you go!

Spelman College was one of the first HBCUs to have a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter. Here's the story of how it came to be and why the Spelman community considers Palestine to be a feminist issue.

I went to Venice Beach to pay a visit to the new blue pharaoh of the flute, Andre 3000.

We talked about rap and woodwinds and Outkast and aging and ayahuasca and whatever else exists.

Matthew D. Morrison haitiharlem Thank you!!!! I will absolutely share ways to help as we figure out how to maximize what we can still do, but it always always helps to be using your libraries- borrowing books, maintaining active cards at all 3 library systems, attending library events. Numbers matter a lot!!!

The NY Public Library being closed on weekends due to NYC budget guts is such a gut punch because it signals so much.

Are there folks organizing around this we can support?

Reminder: I don’t tweet for likes or retweets or follows. Didn’t start when I joined 13 years ago, not starting now.

Hope folks realize this is part of the fascist making of this country (across party lines) and it’s something that Adams was able to get this approved in a city whose cops have a 5B+ budget.

.Los Angeles Times editorial board calls for immediate ceasefire: “The world cannot stand by to witness more slaughter of civilians.”

I *think* this is the first major American newspaper to make this call—after 11,200+ Palestinians (4,600+ kids) have been killed.

It is ironic that 20 years ago everyone was crying because love below only had one rap song …I remember ppl saying it wasn’t hip hop

It's only getting colder.

It just makes me so, so sad that this winter, there will be an entire day a week that New Yorkers will not be welcomed to a warm library. To sit down a minute. Use a computer. Charge a phone. Use the bathroom. Read. Access services.

SO sad.
