“Launched in 2020, AFSCME’s Cultural Workers United organizing campaign now represents 50,000 cultural workers nationwide.” @wbez.org www.wbez.org/museums/2025...

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...

Chicago is one of the best cities in the world for libraries, museums, bookstores, and theatre, and yet, Mayor after Mayor, we have to fight off attempts to decimate budgets for cultural & cultural heritage organizations. We don’t always win, but we always fight

Because A&M wasn’t bad enough @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

In all of history, nothing bad has ever happened when a government asks for a list of the names of Jews @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Better late than never? Sacramento moves to remove law banning the sale of comics @comicsatsdsu.bsky.social @latimes.com www.latimes.com/world-nation...

Great writing, great game. Kudos!

Another great @comicsatsdsu.bsky.social panel on “comics in many forms” at the Comic-Con Museum

"A Victory for IMLS as Court Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Dismantle Agency" www.schoollibraryjournal.com/story/Victor...

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Seen in Boston, Massachusetts in 1854.

A look at transborder library collaboration for International Education Week @sdsulibrary.bsky.social library.sdsu.edu/news/2025/in...

The thing about the latest news in the Nuzzi/Lizza story is that RFK cost the nation its measles elimination status.

I could not let University Press Week go by without a shout out to our own San Diego State University Press, working from its nerve center in the College of Arts and Letters to produce books and comics that support distinctive teaching and research programs at SDSU #UPWeek sdsupress.sdsu.edu

Texas A&M went after its librarians a few years ago; it’s no surprise that they’re coming after everyone else @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

The Owl House was brilliant, original, and human (and treated terribly by Disney)

Happy to have this traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine at @sdsulibrary.bsky.social this month library.sdsu.edu/news/2025/ca...

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Frank Quitely last night, Chelsea Cain this morning; you should really come to SDSU if you want to study comics @sdsulibrary.bsky.social @comicsatsdsu.bsky.social @libcomix.bsky.social

We have to go back a while to find a time this alum could find something positive to post about Indiana University, but here’s one

Looking forward to today’s talk in @sdsulibrary.bsky.social special collections with SDSU Comics Scholar and Comics Artist in residence @comicsatsdsu.bsky.social @libcomix.bsky.social www.sdsu.edu/events-calen...

This is all true, but I found additional meaning in the U.S. context for this observation: “Sometimes … there’s a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you’ve actually become.” @theguardian.com

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

From today's Chronicle of Higher Ed briefing. I am *never* an advocate of cutting programs. But I am curious to see if there will be the same type of "students aren't majoring in this, so let's cut the program" discourse around computer science as there always is for the arts and humanities.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

A program to complement our hosting of the National Library of Medicine’s Care and Custody exhibition @sdsulibrary.bsky.social

I remember thinking when my daughter was applying to college that she could be a 3rd generation IU student … she wisely turned down the offer and now, neither of us could imagine her going there.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

We're SO looking forward to the finale of #CelebrityTraitors. Whoever wins we have just one message. Stephen Fry is and always has been... 100% Faithful to Libraries!

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

This is desperate, pathetic, and sad

While we are not hosting a voting site this year, the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social is still here to help Aztecs get to the polls and exercise their right to vote libguides.sdsu.edu/voting

Looking forward to having @sdsulibrary.bsky.social & Stony Brook University Libraries team up to discuss AI and discovery at #cnif25 @cni-org.bsky.social www.cni.org/events/membe...

Happy to have voted for @jbpritzker.bsky.social while living in Illinois

Congratulations to my SDSU and CETYS colleagues on the successful (re-)launch of the Transborder Library Forum in Mexicali, Mexico, last week @sdsulibrary.bsky.social www.cetys.mx/foro-transfr...

Ready for the official start of #HACU2025 & glad to see SDSU on the sponsor board

This is tragic www.bbc.com/news/article...

Billie Eilish has a message for billionaires: “Give your money away, shorties.”

A quick search of the #HACU2025 agenda retrieves no evidence of a deep dive into libraries - the place where scholarship, teaching, learning, student success, & community engagement comes together. Who’s ready for a conference proposal for 2026?

Excited to start my first HACU conference with the Deans’ Forum at an unprecedented moment for those of us committed to the work of Hispanic-Serving Institutions. On the lookout for my @calstate.bsky.social colleagues & anyone interested in discussing the role of libraries

Why people archive parts of federal websites & run data rescue hackathons to improve access to the content of the archive 📚:

Today is the day for the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social Public Opinion Crawl! If you are an SDSU student with an opinion to share on library spaces and services (and would like a slice of pizza or a snack), come to the After-Hours Study Area before 2 pm

It's useful to recognise that, just 3 years ago, the UK government made it a specific CRIMINAL OFFENCE to procure a live person to complete university coursework for a student, but that government, and all major institutions, are now saying the use of a machine to complete such work is inevitable.
