Quick trip north for @comicconrevolution.bsky.social

Let’s keep digging, y’all. Rock bottom’s gonna be a little further down. Non-fiction. Truth and facts are not for kids, apparently. Thank you, @penamerica.bsky.social! www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

Looking forward to presenting with my @calstate.bsky.social library colleagues on AI initiatives across the system at next month's CSU Libraries Conference libraries.calstate.edu/conference/

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

I will simply note that I was on an American Airlines flight this morning (355 miles) and there were no cookies

The first @insidehighered.com article from which I was barred by a paywall, soon followed by another where I shared the headline with someone who would have gotten a link to the article last week. I wonder how their subscription strategy - however necessary - is affecting the reach of their work?

We do not agree on this

Folks, an important PSA! If you’re attending Free Comic Book Day/Comic Giveaway Day then keep in mind that the books may be free for you but the shop still pays for each and every one of them. Only take what you want and make sure to support your local shop by buying something while you’re there.

Good call

Quality library content @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Who else will have thoughts to share with @harpercollins.bsky.social at their big booth at ALA Annual this summer? Perhaps beginning with the phrase “Don’t Blink”

In the current environment, strategic partnerships with our donor community are critical to sustaining innovation and impact in library services - one story from @sdsulibrary.bsky.social @sdsuresearch.bsky.social library.sdsu.edu/news/2026/pr...

People of a certain should heed this call to service

“Huntington Beach suffered another courtroom loss in its culture war battles this week when a judge ordered the city to pay $1 million in legal fees for restricting minors’ access to library books.” @laist.com laist.com/news/politic...

One part of school closures that rarely makes the press: where do the archives go? @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2026/04/20/t...

I picked up the @cloverpress.bsky.social 1977 collection of Spider-Man newspaper comic strips and was quickly reminded of what public perception of NYC was like back then. Unrelated; it may be time to watch The Warriors again

Great to continue the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social partnership with the San Diego Natural History Museum on citizen science programs like the City Nature Challenge @kpbssandiego.bsky.social www.kpbs.org/news/arts-cu...

I understand the decision to lock up @insidehighered.com content, but my initial poll suggests this may greatly restrict its use. Quick poll: 1) are you planning to subscribe as an individual; and, 2) is your library taking an institutional subscription? www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

Meet the new head of the City's municipal archives—Shawn(ta) Smith-Cruz, who's currently the dean of the Barnard College library, and also a writer and zine-maker. And other links to start your day! hellgatenyc.com/mayor-mamdan...

Ultimately, this is precisely what they want. They want you to pull your kids out of the public school and enroll them in a private school aligned with your values. They want two classes of education, and they want to rob the public system of money through their voucher scheme.

Great to see my @sdsulibrary.bsky.social colleague recognized for her leadership of our digital collection initiatives with a Faculty Global Engagement Award (Transborder Librarianship) from the SDSU Office of International Affairs library.sdsu.edu/news/2026/li...

A good message from my former Governor during National Library Week

They’ve come for the teaching, they’ll come for the research agenda, and, once they are no longer needed to support current teaching and research, they’ll come for the library collections @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

I can think of a lot of more accurate and less flattering terms for dudes who travel to other countries to trap foreign women in subservient relationships than “passport bros”

There appear to be some limits on the “freedom to inquire” supported by Harvard University

Damn Thornwillow Press and their compelling newsletters (and, yes, I am looking forward to receiving new editions of The Lottery and The Machine Stops, but still …) thornwillow.com

“Cutting arts and culture [and libraries] to ‘save money’ is one of the most expensive mistakes a city can make.” sandiegomagazine.com/features/the...

A little bit of undergraduate research and a little bit of @sdsulibrary.bsky.social history www.sdsu.edu/magazine/spr...

Within this larger context, the current proposal by San Diego’s Mayor to drastically reduce city funding for arts groups and cultural organizations is even worse

Always glad to see our partnership with the SDSU Pride Center grow with another year working to support the Pride Research Symposium

The @sdsulibrary.bsky.social collaborates with @sdsuresearch.bsky.social to celebrate the scholarly and creative work of our faculty and staff and to make it available through the SDSU Authors Collection library.sdsu.edu/news/2026/bo...

The loss of the Art Museum on the Lincoln Park campus and now the historic theatre near the Loop campus puts real question around the future of DePaul’s long-time leadership on the Chicago arts and culture scene; I’m very sad to see it @chicago.suntimes.com chicago.suntimes.com/architecture...

Library leaders (and community members), I dare say, are also less than pleased with our Mayor’s budget proposal www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/04/15/s...

Looking forward to our next @sdsulibrary.bsky.social Prison Book Project meet-up

My alma mater taught me how to ask questions, and how to care more about the work than grades and quantitative metrics. I'm mourning Hampshire already, and the failures that have gotten us to the point where a school that values thinking and world-repair over capitalism can no longer keep going.

I am so sorry to see this news even though it has felt inevitable for some time.

Ready to welcome 15,000+ prospective SDSU students and families to @sdsulibrary.bsky.social for Admitted Students Day

One of our favorite events - the biannual celebration of books authored or edited by SDSU faculty (and new additions to the @sdsulibrary.bsky.social SDSU Authors Collection)

"We need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. Many children can't get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library."—Katherine Paterson #WednesdayWisdom #AASLslm

Grateful for the opportunity to continue serving on the San Diego Board of Library Commissioners and building stronger, community-centered collaboration between our academic and public libraries @sdsulibrary.bsky.social @sdpubliclibrary.bsky.social

Ooh, I’m looking forward to this one (though there is the issue of how many oversized books edited by @chrisryall.bsky.social my coffee table can handle)

Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology. Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.
