Book banning isn’t new, but the scale, coordination, and targets of today’s censorship efforts are. @wgbh.org‬'s Unbound Pages podcast is telling the stories behind the headlines and why it matters now more than ever. www.wgbh.org/foundation/h...

Stop the fucking fireworks already. I have a headache and my dog is terrified.

But also my dog has not moved from the nest she has created in the laundry closet for 2 days. I had to force her out to pee.

North Idaho, this is excessive for the fireworks. I try to just let it go but I'm anxious and jumping tonight. Will be going out of town next year. Poor dog and poor everyone else that will have a negative reaction to this ridiculous noise.

Does anyone want to join my Trader Joe's snack club because I basically just talk about the snacks I find all the time and it's my only hobby

The fireworks with my morning coffee are just great. Thanks for the noise all night and then now making my dog hide first thing.

This job is not what I had expectations it would be based on title and projects explained. I'm basically a manager all over without having time to be director and I really don't love it. Also living here nine months without my partner/him not getting a job yet makes it seem pointless that I moved

I am so sad about this. It's too close to home. City employee, actually near my house. Knowing all the things lots of us are trying to do to make this place better and help people feel safe. It needs more than thoughts and prayers.

😭😭😭😭😭😭 This is one of the overpasses as you enter Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Such a loss.

Extremely sad and scary news from Coeur d'Alene. The park they are set up at is where I take Chai to play. I'm in Philadelphia but it is so awful to hear this news.

Brought a friend who is attending their first ALA and I haven't been since 2018. And I do miss the large gaggle of librarians I used to plan to meet up with but it's also fun to start fresh.

Am I allowed to say Philly? Or is that earned? #alaac25

Trader Joe's Banana Pudding ice cream and the new Sherri Papini documentary. Has there been a better Friday night?

Son of a bitch. WHY???? apnews.com/article/dona...

🚨 Today, a federal court granted a temporary restraining order to halt the administration’s dismantling of IMLS—a direct result of the lawsuit filed by ALA and @afscme.bsky.social. www.ala.org/news/2025/05... #ForOurLibraries #FundLibraries

Everything is such a mess that I don't even care about my birthday month. However free coffee. Where else can I sign up to get a free drink this month

The amount of times I ask the dog "what are you eating?" and get no answer are outrageous.

Chai enjoying the neighborhood activities this morning.

Between personal, work,and absolutely straining my ankle issues I think I am good to nap until my bday in May.

Driving to Boise tomorrow to pack the rest of my stuff and empty storage and then head back Tuesday with the boy and the puppy and 6 months is a long time to be long distance from a puppy. And partner, sure.

LIBRARY. I know how to spell but my phone has stopped correcting any of my words. Texting takes forever. How do I make it learn again

Almost 70 out and my librsry has a beautiful patio. Lunch outside thank goodness.

This is a really good look at what #Idaho has been doing. Bravo, Idahoans! Well done! Thank you, @meidastouch.com! youtu.be/WerniS4u6Nk

Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.

Today is National Library Workers Day—a day to celebrate the hardworking professionals who keep our libraries thriving. Library workers are facing tough times, and it’s more important than ever to show our support. Show some love to the library worker in your life today! ala-apa.org/nlwd/ #NLWD25

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

That season of White Lotus was not good.

Attorneys general from 21 states (AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI) filed a lawsuit against the administration to stop the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) & other agencies Git 'em www.infodocket.com/2025/04/04/n...

Her morning routine is to watch the bunnies while I do my make up.

I know I was out of public libraries for 3 years. But we didn't start following children around and handing them adult books or teen books right? Because my staff's not doing that and I haven't done that and it's wild to continue to be accused a physically handing children "harmful" materials.

My partner and I always try to watch a few movies when someone dies. Currently watching Heat.

Sometimes when I'm watching spiders on the ceiling to make sure they stay in their agreed upon boundaries and they fall and have to crawl back up their web, I laugh at them. Clumsy spider. Do you even know how to be a spider?

Yeah I clapped. What a day. But also really impressed my earliest lasted since 7 am.

How do I find more witches on here? I had been off Twitter for one million years, how did I get friends there??

Strom Thurmond, racist Senator from SC, has held the Senate record since 1957 for his 24 hr & 18 minute objection to the 1957 Civil Rights Act. It is beyond fitting that @booker.senate.gov may break that record today in opposition to yet more racism & illegal gov activities.

It's appropriate to have goosebumps while watching this count down yeah?

This filibuster is so different than any other. The number of people watching over numerous screens / social media hasn’t ever happened. People are watching. No one ever watched a filibuster in these numbers. It means something, it’s different, it’s the fight we all needed to see, feel from Dems.

Who is not watching this??

Can someone come make the blueberry muffins that I want to eat but don't want to bake

Happy Trans Day of Visibilty! 🏳️‍⚧️ And National Tater Day! 🥔

The mayor wants to meet with me tomorrow to "talk about the things happening in libraries". So many things, where do I start?

I feel like my allergies are trying to figure themselves out on this new, green landscape.

Fixed

🔥 Speech by NM Rep Melanie Stansbury about how absurd it was for the DOGE subcommittee to hold meetings on walk-in cooler & refrigerant efficiency standards instead of the security breach by Hegseth & others.

Love everything about the new house except the person thst idles their diesel truck starting at 3 am until about 5. I am pretty sure that is not necessary.
