thank you for everything you did for we here and for the library and information science profession, fobazi. you were an incredible friend, thinker, writer, supporter. you’ll be dearly missed 🤍

general strike means general strike and it's respectable to do it or to not do it but the worst thing you can do is say "I wish I could but I have to blah blah blah" as if the rules don't apply to you
