Only one day is left, Only one day.
i am leaving masculinity,
I am going away.
My soul is from the wild
And dressed to reach the sky
Let the skirts fall to the floor
Let the pants erupt in flame
It is enough to have the strength and knowledge
To raise my #transition into the sky
Let them sleep who do not know
The final day is here, the very last
And Iâll leave at dusk
There is no force, no money, and no power
To stop me now and change my fate
Now every problem is accounted for
I raise my hands and body to the peak
Into the Universe, towards #Femininity I go

Police Are Not Primarily Crime-Fighters, and "...police departments donât solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives."
instead data "show(s) that U.S. police spend much of their time conducting racially biased stops and searches of minority drivers, often without reasonable suspicion, rather than âfighting crime.â
According to a report by Catalyst California and ACLU SoCal and summarized in the Reuters article.
So... in the US we now have an "anti-library" party. It's remarkable how many ways republicans keep coming for libraries and librarians. From the stuff in Houston where they are turning libraries into "discipline centers" and firing librarians. To the books bans and empty shelves in Florida.
Libraries are powerful and important, and if this doesn't make that clear? I don't know what will.
