@amlibraryassoc.bsky.social you want to explain why during a time of unprecedented threat to libraries you laid off our long serving OIF director Deborah Caldwell Stone? Seriously: what is the strategy here? Are you TRYING to weaken us? 🤬

Excuse me what now

I had a wonderful time at #LILAC25! I learned so much from all the wonderful presentations AND got to meet so many lovely people. @elinorcarmi.bsky.social was right: lilac has a kinder vibe than other conferences. Fingers crossed I get to attend again soon! ❤️ to all and THANK YOU to the organizers!!

You don’t have to be a librarian to report attempted book banning in your community. Don’t assume that somebody else has done it. Don’t worry that it will be a duplicate report; the ALA OIF will sort that out. Silence is complicity. Report book challenges!

@lilashapiro.bsky.social’s neil gaiman article troubled me deeply. Part of the reason why is obvious— gaiman’s abuse of those women was nothing less than monstrous, and reading about how Amanda Palmer enabled his abuse while also financially mistreating at least one woman was enraging. 1/?

I met Neil gaiman v briefly at a reading years ago. He was exactly as the article said: charming, adorably awkward. I remember the crowd (mostly young women) cheered when he asked the ppl in line to allow a woman with a cane to go first. Truly boggles the mind how monsters can hide in plain sight.

Sark’s biggest weakness tonight is the presence of Ted Cruz #HookEm #TexasFootball #Gross

Today I had to go to the DMV. I also have a cold. Boo. The DMV lady thanked me for wearing a mask when I was clearly sick. But there were SO MANY other people there who were also sneezing/coughing and NOT wearing masks. Have we learned NOTHING? If you are sick, wear a mask! Protect others!

TEXAS!!! #hookem Our kicker missed twice, but I forgive him because his name is Bert and he has a glorious mop of orange-red curls 🧡 #texasfootball #longhorns

I feel like so many people missed the point of #squidgame Looking at you, @dominos-pizza.bsky.social 😳

Follow, like, repost if you love libraries! Let's show that Americans love libraries, reading, and books!

Just registered for @lilacconf.bsky.social! Excited to attend one of my fave info lit conferences (and for another one of their EXCELLENT conference dinner parties) 😊
