2017. I had these made as part of my run for ALA President in 2017.

Just got these magnets from Pintrill and am pretty sure I know where the meters will be set for the foreseeable future #Peanuts

America first is America alone. The world is going to continue on without us; the long term damage to these United States and We the People is incalculable.

Of course, there's no mention of the 200+ degree programs she cut or consolidated to help pay for this historic football win (by tripling the football budget).

BREAKING: The Trump administration has filed an appeal over Rhode Island v. Trump, which barred the administration from further dismantling the IMLS. That, plus the IMLS propaganda-laden grant application period. bookriot.com/rhode-island...

Comics friends! Please look at what @trungles.com and a bunch of other comics people are doing and join in! #IceOutComics

If you think international graduate student enrollment was bad in Fall 2025, I have bad news about Fall 2026 @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

Congratulations to my SDSU colleagues on the renewal of our Carnegie Classification in Community Engagement (and thanks to our academic and public library partners throughout San Diego who help the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social to contribute to the work) www.sdsu.edu/news/2026/01...

Libraries and museums are not neutral.

This article is excellent, but the Cartoon Art Museum shouldn't be under the radar. People should constantly be talking about the Cartoon Art Museum. Whenever people aren't at the Cartoon Art Museum, they should be saying, "Why aren't we at the Cartoon Art Museum?" www.sfexaminer.com/culture/muse...

I was not expecting the pirate manga to go so hard on the freedom of inquiry when I finally broke down and started reading it (One Piece, Chapter 396)

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Utah officials banned three more books. Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky These books join 19 other titles on a state-sanctioned ban list buff.ly/NDP4heu

Join @sdsulibrary.bsky.social Science & Sustainability Librarian Sarah Tribelhorn for a Sustainable Libraries Initiative webinar on #AI and the Environment on January 22 www.sustainablelibrariesinitiative.org/event/ai-and...

This is not simply a tragedy but a material threat - only one of many - to our ability, as a nation, to preserve, evaluate, and communicate the lessons of science to the U.S. public @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

Well that's some good news.

Like our colleagues at @everylibrary.bsky.social, we at the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social always recommend making time for reading library.sdsu.edu/news/2025/ga...

A good reminder that when you purchase an ebook or movie, you're usually just purchasing the license to have it in your library. You do not own it. The provider can alter or remove it at any time. If physical is available, buy that. If not, well, enjoy it while you can.

Bending your institution to meet the prejudices of your dumbest, meanest students is a surefire way to destroy a university. Now any student can just scrawl “the Bible says this is wrong” on any test and skate to an A at the Oklahoma Football Outlet and Diploma Factory.

Double bonus points for the headline clearly stating that the ARCHIVISTS found it!

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition." A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

I DO love saying “libraries”! This year on Bluesky I wrote 212 posts and 30 replies. I received 343 likes, whereas 27 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "libraries"! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

"We here at Bank of America remember a time when a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's approval. Wouldn't that be fun again?"

Not in a million years

My first master’s degree was in Russian Area Studies and, boy howdy, could we use more people with deep learning about the world outside our borders and not fewer

Kudos to my SDSU colleagues on another great year of work (despite state and sector-wide challenges) - look for the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social “Top 10” after the new year! www.sdsu.edu/news/2025/12...

I am sorry to see further, significant reductions in library staff and services among my former colleagues at DePaul @depaulia.bsky.social depauliaonline.com/80758/news/d...

Before you go home for the holidays, why not pick up a “fun read” from the Gateway Collection and reconnect with everything you loved about reading when you were growing up!

A sane country.

Good to see @sdsulibrary.bsky.social included in this listing of "Notable Latinx/e Comics Collections in the U.S." muse.jhu.edu/pub/30/artic...

“The current landscape is changing.” This could have come from ANY session at #cnifall25 (but this time it was about the landscape for federal funding)

Lucy Campbell describes how @sdsulibrary.bsky.social “guiding principles” for the use of #AI in library systems as part of developing a new discovery tool #cnifall25

We’re always ready to listen to our students and to work with our partners in Associated Students to improve the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social experience

It’s tragic that Indiana spends the year limiting intellectual freedom, assaulting student freedom of speech, and eliminating valuable and distinctive academic programs and, yet, still thinks I might want to give them money

“The austerity mentality hawked by the administration is one based on a larger trend in which humanistic and social scientific inquiry is deprivileged and the ethos of the liberal arts abandoned” @bucknellupress.bsky.social @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
