If you are involved in the work of the cataloging division of your university library whether as an employee or a supervisor, you may be eligible to participate in a 10 to 20-minute online research survey. 1/3
This survey will explore how your library addressed recent changes to geographic place names in the Library of Congress Subject Headings (“Mount Denali” and “Gulf of Mexico”) If you are not involved in this work please forward to someone in your library who is. 2/3
The survey can be found at qualtrics.ou.edu/jfe/form/SV_... Please contact Tom Steele (Thomas.D.Steele-1@ou.edu) for more information. The University of Oklahoma is an equal opportunity institution. 3/3

Democrats have trifecta control of government in 16 states; but not one of them has done what Republicans in Iowa and Florida have done in pumping millions of dollars into the humanities. ballotpedia.org/State_govern...

It’s real to recognize that American Football is a tool of fascist propaganda and toxic masculinity. Fuck Taylor Swift and her boyfriend.
Can we be real for a second? I think it’s incredible to see how *supportive* Taylor Swift is of Travis Kelce, and how much networks showing her helps introduce young girls and women to football who never would have otherwise cared. Can we please leave these conversations and complaints in 2024?

And there will be just enough Dems voting with Republicans to make sure nothing fundamentally changes
Bulwark: "With just over 6 weeks to go until election day, things couldn't be going better for the Democrats. Polls show voters favoring the party over Republicans-by increasingly substantial margins. Forecasters are convinced Democrats will retake the House & some even see them winning the Senate."

Kinda gross that his wife, Elaine Chao, is okay with this.
New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Now you've got Blue No Matter Who numpties yelling about how the time to criticize Democrats was before the primary. What if the Democrat flip flops on trans rights after the primary? What then? Politicians are not your friends. They work for you. We don't work for them. Fuck.

THE DEMOCRATS
Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions. A constituent asked if he would walk them back. He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans. Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Obviously it has nothing to do with his decision to appear on a bigoted network and feed into their anti trans narrative. No, surely it was something else.
Gotta admit that I don't really think it's coincidental that suddenly all the knives are out for Talarico the moment polling has rather decisively turned in his favor.

Exactly. You can’t tell me to vote for the anti-fascist when the anti-fascist is supposed to be James Tallarico. A man who voted to silence college protests, and said he will vote to kill children and is against any kind of universal healthcare.
But in fascist times, the issue is a binary! Nobody appears to be grasping this. There is no middle ground on civil rights, because fascism seeks to destroy them. You can’t compromise with just a little bit of bigotry, just a wee drop of fascism. Either rights are for all or they are meaningless.

I know it's futile to keep having this argument but I just want some honesty about what "he needs to win in Texas" means. It means anti-trans pledges will win more votes than they lose. And if you're comfortable with that then you should be comfortable with the idea that he will lose *some* votes.
Dem: We need to vote to protect our children from fascism! Trans: I will vote to protect trans children from fascism! Dem: Not them. Other children! Vote to protect the other children! Trans: I will vote for anyone who'll protect trans children from fascism. Dem: Wny do you love fascism????
throws other sexes under the bus for votes. will throw 6 dollar diesel under the bus next if it behooves him.
FOX NEWS: During the 2021 era, you said 'there are 6 biological sexes.' Do you still believe that? TALARICO: No. I've missed the mark on some of my past statements. The reason Republicans want to talk about six sexes is because they don't want to talk about $6 diesel.
