Thank you! Here's the source for what I said on #WITHpod: "There are six states in the United States where data centres already consume over 10% of the electricity supply, with Virginia leading at 25%." www.iea.org/reports/ener... Listen to the podcast here: open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

Back in April, the IMLS grant @library.cmu.edu had secured for POEM—the Project on Open and Evolving Metaliteracies—was canceled by the administration. Apparently, it no longer met agency priorities.

Our research confirms this. Climate change increases the need for air conditioning for people to not die in heat waves. We need clean energy. We need efficient buildings. We need green infrastructure. We need more of this that most folks can imagine. We should start building it all right now.

Here's a free PDF copy of Lundy Bancroft's essential book Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men. tinyurl.com/bancroftpdf Please repost. You never know who might need to read this. (Or reread it.)

NOAA is essential to the health, welfare, and safety of all Americans. Dismantling climate.gov makes us all less safe. Here’s an article we wrote about the value of NOAA to the American public: bsky.app/profile/cost...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

It’s jubilee day for @lyndamk.bsky.social! Happiest of birthdays to an indefatigable data maven, class A kayaking partner, and all-round excellent human.

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

So the National Archives will no longer be open… to the nation? “Legitimate business needs” only. That’s a whole lot of US history that is now ripe for being rewritten. www.archives.gov/college-park

Things like this make me really, really miss being a New Yorker.

In the deepest dark of this moment, few are the things that bring me joy. @rnisa.bsky.social is one; our kid another. Our animals. The other is birds. I can get lost for hours listening, wondering, observing. I am so grateful to be able to immerse myself in their 🇨🇴 world & learn (more!) from Jer.

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

This is one of those “Damn, I wished I still lived in NYC” moments.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Did you hear that @kathdriskell.bsky.social, one of our fantastic Spring 25 poets, has been named Kentucky's poet laureate? Congratulations, Kathleen—so well deserved!

“I am the infinite stairwell between integers; I am the bloody embrace of two countries at war…” @ellecordova.bsky.social is pure genius

Hey, it's one of my favorite Brooklynites @edrabinski.bsky.social speaking truth to power in The Guardian today: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

All institutions should encourage the dousing of one's boss in the name of charity. Even if the fact that this occurs at annual review time is a leeeetle unnerving. (Next week, my direct reports get to pie me for charity, so what goes around, comes around I guess.)

This gives me life.

I'm honored to have been nominated to stand for election to the @iflaglobal.bsky.social Professional Section Standing Committee for Academic and Research Libraries. If you're an IFLA member, please do read my candidate statement and consider casting your vote in my direction!
