One month out. On July 4, 2026 — America's 250th birthday — the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opens for the first time. Opening day is sold out, but the Library is open all summer and fall, and those tickets are live now. Pick your date: trlibrary.com/tickets #America250 #DareGreatly

Dang!

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't get 4 cognitive exams in 18 months unless they're monitoring your dementia.

We’re doing projects in the house before moving in. We’ve primed the walls in the kitchen, entry, hall, and dining room. Hoping to get some actual paint colors on the walls today. I also really need to mow the yard. #homeownership

Repost with your first crush.

BREAKING: Janice, last surviving member of rock group Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem, disavows any connections to 250th anniversary concert promoted by WH 👇

Our 1st homeowner project is mostly done. We painted the fireplace from a gross salmon color to a more charcoal-y color. We have been taping and priming the walls elsewhere in the house, as well as lining up vendors to do projects like boosting attic insulation and refinishing the hardwood floors.

Chef’s kiss

Reminder: Audiobooks are a great way to help you read more. Add them into your every day routine! (And yes, they "count" as reading.)

Had a wonderful day at Michigan State University Libraries 2026 Symposium on Reparative Descriptions in Library Catalogs, & included great presentations and workshops LIVE AND IN PERSON WITH @violetbfox.bsky.social and @brimwats.com! #tcmmf #cataloging #librarians

QRP with the doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

I love a crisp morning walk with the doggo on the weekends

Canvas got hacked. This is why I need a secure ballroom

Good morning from Day 1 of the Michigan Academic Library Association Annual Conference in Traverse City! #MiALA #libraryconference #librarians #traversecity

Yesssssssssss.

Had enough yet?

We picked up the keys to our first home today and proceeded to drop more coin on getting the locks changed. We have projects lined up to tackle before moving boxes, but we’re homeowners now. Damn, we’re adults with a mortgage now!

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

PUFFINS!

For the Glory of Old IU?

How a Radical Historian Saved the Schlock of ’76

Wakes up in a parallel dimension where Howe marched up the Hudson to link up with Burgoyne in 1777 instead of dicking around in Philadelphia

UC Boulder Libraries names first Indigenous Knowledges faculty librarian, a new tenure-track line in Indigenous Knowledge Systems libraries.colorado.edu/2026/04/13/u... 📚

Why didn’t the mentalist see it coming?

So NBC Main is still going to air Dateline instead of Breaking News, I gotta go to Team B on NBC News Now?

As much as I love ALL TREK, I didn’t watch Season 3, the 1st season of #StarfleetAcademy, or will I watch this as long as Paramount bends the knee to the fascist Dictator in Chief.

How ‘bout No!

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News. The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

Release the Epstein Files

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

An organized group is a terrible weapon to behold! From the @afscme.bsky.social Organizing and Field Services Department records, circa 1974. #Unions #Peanuts #Organize

The Pope doesn’t seem worried about being primaried from the right.

Next week ALA Staff will be voting for our Union - ALA Workers United - you better believe I’m voting a big YES. Library Worker colleagues, I hope you are as excited for us as we are for the amazing victories in your work. Vote Yes because a strong staff makes for a strong ALA for ALL OF US.

Well the phone and iPad are charged and my pjs are at the ready and the light to the basement is on just in case we need to make a quick run down there sometime tonight during the window for potentially severe storms tonight into tomorrow morning #miweather #detroitweather

Womp Womp

Hey if anyone needed a good cry today

The White House is now Temu Versailles.

SPLASHDOWN! Welcome home Integrity. #ArtemisII #splashdown #nasa

“Alex is there as well.” My wife and I burned through all 20 series since July and am excited that Series 21 has begun! (Alex is my favorite. After Patatas. And the faux card catalog. And probably Fred the Swede)
