Rutgers noooo!!!

There’s something about a literary fall 🍁

Looks like Rutgers cleaned some things up in the bye week. Now they just have to keep this up for another 55 minutes.

It’s Banned Books Week, when we read and celebrate some of the best books ever written. Here is a list of current commonly banned and challenged books, for anyone looking for some good reads: pen.org/banned-books...

I’m not mad, just disappointed. And also oddly relieved - it’s nice not to have to watch any more of this 2025 team.

God is dead there is only Greg Schiano now

PSA for book banners 👇 Additional pro tips: 1. Read the damn thing. 2. If you don’t like it, close the cover (refer to illustration for operating instructions)

like do they need to stomp us into the ground any further I am already dead

Wow Army is looking strong in Manhattan tonight. Don’t worry this is a college football post

"Once a library buys a book, they can do with it as they damn well please."

The trade I really want to see: Bring Jose Iglesias back to the Mets.

Keli Zinn had a big hand in things at LSU the past few years, most recently with the rev-share plan and the new arena project. Comes after Rutgers hired former LSU president William Tate earlier this summer.

“The San Francisco-based Internet Archive now has federal depository status, joining a network of over 1,100 libraries that archive government documents and make them accessible to the public”

“The NBA lost money for over 40 years. Do you think player salaries stayed the same for 40 years? (Hint: They did not).”

“Nobody has ever lost an Olympics for denying visas to athletes, because nobody has ever been careless or brash enough to repeatedly deny visas to incoming athletes based on their nation of origin shortly before hosting the Olympics.”

Mike Gundy heard rumors how SEC teams succeeded in recruiting; now Oklahoma State’s benefiting w/6 assistants w/SEC ties. “So now cheating is legal,” Gundy told @On3sports. “Now you just gotta know how to do it. They’re great. They know ‘how to go’ ” www.on3.com/news/mike-gu...

naval academy says books on feminism and civil rights are too “radical.” but sure — let’s train future officers with zero context and maximum fragility.

Great thread.

“It will have a chilling effect on how school districts use books that create affirmative and diverse look into literature for students to prepare themselves to become part of a civil community and become students that are prepared for the real world with diverse family structures.”

I know its not his WORST offence but Cuomo should be run out of town just for that cowardly answer. Nobody likes both the Yankees and the Mets! And if you do, I think you may need to get some help.

I think about this every day And AI is OxyContin.

The Mets need a shakeup. Bring back Jose Iglesias!

“We like to say as librarians, 'Free people read freely.' And so, there's been an effort recently to quelch that."

Rutgers’ new president knows a thing or two about sports. Here’s the athletics angle on LSU president William F. Tate, a former basketball and track coach, with insights from an interview with Paul Finebaum this past fall: www.app.com/story/sports...

Dr. Hayden has been such a transformative and inspiring Librarian for the past decade. If you haven't had the privilege to spend time with LC staff, you may not realize what a sea change she brought to our national library. One of the all-time greats. A huge loss for millions and millions.

“It’s cynical, manipulative, and cruel — and for what? Amazon has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controlling over 60 percent of the market and selling far more books than all indie bookstores combined,” Reminder to NOT buy books from Amazon today (or any day really)

Yes, Yes, Yes! Academic Big Ten Mutual Defense Compact!

““Make no mistake about it, the elimination of funding for libraries is a political assault on First Amendment rights, access to information, and the freedom to read.”

ALA President Cindy Hohl: “Congress created I.M.L.S. by law, with bipartisan support, and Republican and Democratic Presidents signed those laws, including President Trump in 2018... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/a...

Good article about the challenges of both protecting higher education and supporting college sports: “Right now, elite Division I athletics operates in opposition to the message higher education needs to be saying loud and clear.”

In a new executive order, Trump has targeted the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries and to library, museum, and archives program grant recipients. www.everylibrary.org/statementiml...

Reading about difficult and disturbing topics can help kids better understand the world: “These texts provide a safe space where the unsettling aspects of life can be examined, questioned, and ultimately understood in a deeper, more meaningful context.”

SIGN JOSE IGLESIAS PLEASE. #LGM

More insanity. DISCUS isn’t just “a research tool.” It’s a whole library of reputable online books and articles that is freely available to all S.C. students. Blocking DISCUS from student laptops means that only students with access to non-school computers will have access to quality information.

This is insane: “Senate File 116 would … allow criminal charges to be pressed against librarians or educators … who have materials deemed “obscene” in their collections that minors may access.”

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵
