“The Anne Arundel County Public Library this month became the first library system in Maryland to be designated a ‘book sanctuary,’ dedicated to collecting and protecting endangered books, and holding book talks and other events designed to make them broadly accessible.”

After beginning in 2022 in Chicago, sanctuary libraries have since spread to 12 other library systems in North America.

I dared tweet a question about homeschooling on The Bad Place and according to my @'s, I am -a b***h -a c*nt -not a mother or a wife! (inaccurate and also puzzling) -an idiot -a 'typical woman' and -a narcissist so things are Very Normal over there, in case anyone's wondering

even when we have complete skeletons (uncommon), instead of bone fragments (common), we're guessing! sometimes we're pretty sure, but it's still just a guess! we can't say for certain! I've seen Hulk-esque 90° gonial angles paired with pretty wee skulls and heart-shaped pelvises. search me.

as an anthropologist with training in osteology, I'd like to once again chime in to remind everyone that 'sexing' bones is often a toss-up, even for experts, because SEXUAL DIMORPHISM, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN NATURE, IS A SPECTRUM, NOT A BINARY

good opportunity to plug my piece on the climate stakes, the experts think IRA etc got us on track roughly halfway to meet our climate goals. Trump would halt that progress, while IRA 2.0 under Harris would get us all the way prospect.org/environment/...
