Spring in movies:

The Secret Garden (1993) filmed mainly in Yorkshire, England (Allerton House, Fountains Hall and  Luton Hoo). The garden was built from scratch at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

[figtreeandvine]

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

You don't see that every day. Pretty big night for hockey. And listen to that crowd! They're loving this! Good for him! Good for Scott Hunter!

Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.

It's not that kind of library.

In other words...

You are being lied to

again

[madenthusiasms]

Everything published in the US is copied to the Library of Congress; appropriateness for children is not a criteria. Published is under copyright is.

In order to read something in the Library of Congress, you must, in order:

1) Be 16+ years old and in possession of ID such as a driver’s license or passport to obtain a LoC card

2) Make an appointment to go to a reading room

3) Know what it is you want to read and which library building it is in so you can fill out a request form when you arrive.

So the chances of a “child” just stumbling over something “inappropriate” that was “put” there by the choice of the head librarian is 100% impossible.

Leavitt seems to believe that if she wears a big enough cross, God can’t hear her breaking the commandment against false witness.

Call to Action: Reinstate the Librarian of Congress

Dr. Carla Hayden was unjustly fired

Right now, we have large parts of Congress in our corner on this. We need pressure, and we need it now before they can cave and install Trump's goons to start ripping the place apart. The goal here is that, at bare minimum, Congress jerks Trump up short on this and starts the process of removing the power to appoint the new librarian from him. The dream is to get Dr. Hayden reinstated, but realistically speaking, she's in her seventies and her term was up next year anyway, so I'm not sure she'd be willing to step back into the fray. We really, really need to make sure that the regime is not allowed to appoint an acting librarian, not allowed to appoint a new head of copyright, and not allowed to start ripping out large parts of the library's collections and doing gods alone know what with them.

Lately I just want to exist in a way that feels natural. No over explaining, no performance, just moving through life in a way that makes sense to me. Slower, softer, more intentional. Less about proving, more about being.
