FUCK YEAH supporting Israel cost @repdangoldman.bsky.social his seat in Congress. Are you paying attention @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social? It's not the DSA (maybe a little) it's the genocide. Free free free free free free free Palestine 🇵🇸 Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck AIPAC

The Sheboygan Zine Fest will take place on November 7 at Mead Library. Tables are free! I so love when libraries provide gratis space for zine events. 😍😍😍 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It’s wild when libraries embrace and celebrate punk zine collections. I love to see it!

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

This may shock you: many? most? academic librarians don't like JSTOR. Why: limited metadata plus an embargo period of 1-5 years on the most recent articles.

I'm looking for public and academic librarians and archivists to consent to reference interactions from Queens College LIS students in my info sources and services class. Let me know if you're willing and how they should contact you. 💜 you in advance! 📚 📜

Happy reject colonialism day! I'm going to Westchester to swim in a pool and gonna read ahead on the train for the class I'm teaching that starts Monday 😬😬😬

Billy from I Love Zines (zine aggregation zine that's kind of a distro but not totally) made a lil videocast with Sully, Kurt, and me talking about Sharaya O's zine Monster Truck Maniac 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H3H... (Sharaya O = queer librarian of color) 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

“If questioned on the moral health of America today, many would be quick to cite a sense of constitutional decay, authoritarianism, and deep-rooted racism and inequality” Meaning, these are American protest photos. America is protest

"When scholars and persons of high social position come to a library, they have confidence enough, in regard to the cordiality of their reception, to make known their wishes without timidity or reserve. "Modest men in the humbler walks of life..." Samuel Green doing critical class theory in 1876 📚

Swift and Kelce may have given $1M to NYC food pantries and made other important donations, but how much did they give to Trump supporter, transphobe, and creepy surveiller James Dolan?

The air conditioning at the Delaney Hall concentration camp failed today, so now people are roasting inside as temperatures rise above 100 degrees. It's so hot they can't breathe.

I was watching Mamdani's pretty glorious actually 250th Anniversary speech, and the Cat Gatekeeper extension rudely interrupted with this scrumptious chonk, and I liked it. My takeaway: ACAB > DSA

Love when authors just want their books to be read! 📚

Brooklynites, support Poetica Coffee, which is being personally attacked by Israeli exceptionalist pro-genocide ousted congressmember @repdangoldman.bsky.social "...a sitting member of Congress to smear a local, immigrant-owned small business for possible election-eve media exposure..."

“Corporate Democrats” is a new-to-me perfect encapsulation of the Dems threatened by and trying to stop DSA/progressive/anti-Zionist* candidates & officials. Sharing in case you’ve missed it, too. *Is it just the anti-Zionist part that freaks them out?

Have you checked out our reading library lately?

"autonomous libraries build on the values of the traditional public library — connecting people to resources, promoting access to information — while offering collections and programming tightly linked to the political and social movements they support" by @edrabinski.bsky.social 📚 🅰️

I have to admit I don't really understand the "does X country have a right to exist" framing. I don't really think any country has an inherent right to exist. Certainly not even mine. Countries exist because people and armies say they do.

I have kind of fucking had it with substack usage from people who really should know better

People should know that NYPL alone has 100 vacancies and that this doesn't include the 160 vacancies at BPL & QPL. Library workers also need higher pay. Meanwhile the libraries ARE NOT RECEIVING ENOUGH FUNDING. We need @mayor.nyc.gov and the @council.nyc.gov to fund libraries at 0.5% of budget now.

WE DID IT!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Because of you, our little queer library gets to keep growing. Thank you for showing up for queer stories and for each other. We are so lucky to be held by this community ✨ https://tinyurl.com/qllpride

I got caught up reading this article about gender and technology from 1981. The whole thing is a banger. "Technology & the future of women: Haven't we met somewhere before?" by Jan Zimmerman, Women's Studies International Quarterly, Vol 4, No 3, 1981. doi.org/10.1016/S0148-0685(81)96581-7 1/n

It's possible I have been arrested with a new member of Congress, pending the general, but nyc. #blessed

chuckling.... Goldman saying that voters didn't care about Israel but rather about putting food on the table. My dude, over 60% of them voted for the other guy so it's clear they thought you sucked on BOTH fronts, lol..

If Dan Goldman loses it will be because of his position on Palestine (and incredible local organizing). Let that sink in, @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social! We don't want you either, unless you take a stand against genocide. 🍉 🗳️

Support your local independent bookstore this week and always! Lose Amazon's number!

@sarahmccarry.bsky.social Edelweiss wants me to read this book. You're a trendsetter!

Wait—does GenZ think Mamdani is corny? Like he’s a dad joker? As GenX, I think yucking Millennials’ yum is hilarious. The rest of the world thinks Mamdani is radical, and the local kids say he’s corny?!? 💜 the Zoomers and Zohranis! PS Mamdani promised public libraries .5% of the budget and reneged

I’m an anarchist, and I vote. I’m super excited to legislatively overthrow Zionist Dan Goldman. If you live in District 10, you could have this pleasure too by filing in the bubble for @bradlander.bsky.social. DM me about the other races 🗳️🇵🇸🅰️

ICE/Geo drove into a demonstrator today.

Ever feel like history and humanities professors will fight like hell for the books but not for the people who select and describe them and build and maintain the systems that preserve them and make them discoverable?

My scholar alert on zines turned up this nerdy gem from LIS professor @vamanu.bsky.social "the materiality of DIY zines is not merely a technical property but an onto-political dimension" journals.library.ualberta.ca/ojs.cais-acs... 📚

We should have zero data centers plz

"For decades, zinemakers have used their self-published work to forge connections and nurture political movements outside of the mainstream." Hooray for a zines article that doesn't say "zines are back" and also includes the word "Palestine." www.washingtonpost.com/ripple/2026/...

The powers that be (television?) is trying to force antifa to the ground by pronouncing it "an TEE fa" and driving us all bananas. Death by a thousand cuts! antifafafafafafafa
