My new album comes out tomorrow, yay!

He can say he’s going to kill us all and he will still be in charge of this country with zero repercussions. WTF?

I know there are trans people right now, wondering if anyone is going to stand up for their simple right to exist. Well, I am.

Her name is Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova, PhD (Physics) and she loves to teach. 😃 people.tamu.edu/~etanya/

trans rights are human rights and nothing will change that, no matter what a bunch of unelected law wizards and bigoted legislators say

Thursday starting at 4pm at the Rogers Park Library! Please try and come if you can. We have air conditioning after all 🙂 chipublib.bibliocommons.com/events/6a22f...

I would love more (any?) horror movies that look like technicolor Douglas Sirk melodramas.

Wow! My favorite episode of The X-Files gets a write-up from one of my favorite writers/film critics on the planet. What a treat. Plus I got to learn a lot about Bruckman too <3

@raforall.bsky.social rules and so does her book so pick it up! What an honor to meet her at #alaac26 and of course she knows my pal and horror podcaster @chloesnotscared.bsky.social too!

World’s. best. tags. 🤣 #alaac26

New Yorkers we only have a couple of days left in this budget cycle. Please join @nycplan.org in demanding that our City Council members allocate 0.5% of the budget to our public libraries. Call them tomorrow: nycplan.org/actions/libr...

Being a librarian is not an easy gig. I started in 2018 and when I got to work in Chicago, and during Covid times it got far more challenging and there are stories folks wouldn’t believe would ever happen in a library. But I do love my job just as much as I love the arts. #ALA is a fun time! #pooped

Remember how I said we needed to pay attention to politicians choosing to cut Imagination Library? bookriot.com/dollys-imagi...

Hey librarians, if you’re at #ALA say hey to the hat-wearing nerdy librarian wandering around aimlessly today! Free swag, lots of events, yay!

Library Cards–The New Landscape of Public Library Censorship. A deep-dive into the policies and procedures that accompany getting library cards, with a focus on the impact to young people. This is an amazing piece from Amy Mikel. bookriot.com/library-card...

We pick the 25 best films of 2026 so far as we hit the halfway point of the year:

My therapist asked if the ICE abductions were still happening and I was dismayed to see how much this ongoing terror has fallen out of the public eye

Rebeka needs URGENT assistance. They are missing dosages of cancer medication and they don’t have any food. They need to catch up with the minimums on their medical bills for the last 2 or 3 months. No one should go without food or CRUCIAL medication needed to survive. ko-fi.com/rebekamash

HEY CHICAGO! The city wants to sell your parking meter company to the same private-equity firm that owns Omni Air International, the worst of the worst of ICE's charter airlines. The city council's finance committee is meeting about it TOMORROW. 1/

For the last several years, I've asked folks to share with me the pushback they've received before, during, and after Pride when it comes to events, programs, and displays in libraries. Here's this year's form. Please share far and wide and use it. All anonymous: tinyurl.com/Pride-Librar...

Recently released federal data shows that Chicago’s immigration court has tripled the pace of removal orders issued against immigrants since Trump returned to office. By late May, the most recent data available, more than 1,000 removal orders were being issued each week.

"...an echo of Mann’s call for academic librarians to adopt a relational and care ethics-focused orientation toward AI rather than one steeped in domination and instrumentality" Much like the ALA draft AI guidance, I feel like actually doing this means saying no. katinamagazine.org/content/arti...

Huge congrats to @jasonklamm.com on his terrific new book and a special Chicago library presentation of FERRIS BUELLER this past week. He’s talented, a great public speaker and knowledgeable about all things FERRIS! Thanks Jason for braving the weather and coming out to celebrate your achievement!

Wrote this a couple years ago, and it continues to be relevant. prismreports.org/2022/07/21/l...

"Be beige, not rainbow" is the outcome of librarians saying libraries should be neutral. We cannot and are not neutral, and we gotta stop insisting that we are. At this point, it is part of the book ban playbook.

Sister is at the airport, snapped this photo of ICE going after Clifford!

WONDERFALLS forever! I loved every second of this one-season show taken off the air that I would love to come back.

New: We've been tracking reports of ICE activity across Chicagoland for five weeks. In that time, rapid responders have seen an escalation as feds have abducted dozens, caused at least two car crashes, threatened community members with weapons and flouted state courthouse protections. Read more:

Thanks to @wgntv.com for having me on this morning to talk about "Ferris Bueller...You're My Hero," which releases tomorrow from @1984prods.bsky.social. wgntv.com/morning-news...

Some have argued that Elon Musk is a mass murderer for having terminated USAID. I examine this claim and conclude that if Hitler—who never personally killed anyone in his life—is a mass murderer, then so is Musk. Indeed, Musk is a mass murderer of world-historical proportions.

My top pick so far is Wendy Eisenberg. Incredible compositions. Jazz folk madness that is consistently unpredictable and catchy.

A terrific actor, an essential part of one of the greatest TV shows ever, and from what I’m hearing, a really good dude. Rest in Peace, Anthony Head.
