Anyway all of that is to say I'm disappearing from this godforsaken site because it's exhausting and infuriating and Not Good For Me At All.

I have spent the better part of the week just...imagining my own child seeing how I've been talked about online for defending her rights and the rights of other kids and it makes me absolutely sick and makes me want to disappear.

I am not filing a police report because the police don't care. That's the thing.

I am so goddamn tired and I get absolutely no benefit from this work except this kinda stuff. I know their goal is to run me out of it and stop and...they might succeed.

Fully funded <3

I don't have more in me this week, but if you do, see if you can fund a project on DonorsChoose in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.

$200 to get this project funded.

This is the last tweet I'll make for this. I've been pushing all week and we cannot even fund one–that's not anyone's fault but the algorithm. I'm being buried and so are these kids and teachers.

Getting more earnest here than I’d prefer but I hope it explains why I am how I am and also I suspect I’m not alone!

I’m hardly doing bare minimum anymore. It’s brutal. I don’t even want to be here doing anything—and no, it’s not depression. Like, THIS is all there is for the next 50 years? I can’t.

We used to fund dozens of these at a time, y'all. That's how bad the algorithm has gotten. We're hardly able to fund a single one.

Unfortunately because this didn't get fully funded last night, the matching funds from DonorsChoose are gone.

BUT there is only $393 left to fully fund this project.

Everything feels terrible and hopeless!

51 Texas state reps demand that 650 UT-Austin faculty resign, claiming they are expressing 'leftist thought' by signing a petition.

Let's be clear: under academic freedom, leftist thought is not an offense (nor is rightist thought). This is government suppression of an idea.

Today is the final day of #GiveBIG 2024! An amazing supporter has provided matching funds of up to $5,000 for all donations of $100+! Support readers today at bit.ly/GiveBigBTP

Matthew D. Taylor School boards are a top priority for the Remnant Alliance; official meetings of the group encourage activists to attend their meetings. One leader has vowed to free school boards from “godless educrats” and save children from “being groomed by homosexuals and the trans perverts.'

The Remnant Alliance is an amalgam of independent organizations that share goals and sometimes personnel. Its political activism is framed as spiritual warfare against satanic evil in the pursuit of realizing the kingdom of God on earth.

NEW: A new coalition of Christian nationalist groups, the Remnant Alliance, is mobilizing congregations to take over Texas school boards. Several leaders of the coalition are members of the Council on National Policy.

Here we go. Chicagoland's local library terrorists are ready to go for Downers Grove. Again.

Even if you're in a 'blue' state, you need to be speaking up in support of your libraries.
