ALA is telling librarians nor to wear badges outside the convention center so they don’t get harassed. I’m used to harassment - most folks who work in public libraries get targeted by patrons working out trauma regularly - but rarely does it escalate beyond verbal abuse. This sounds different.

Okay those of you who do arts and crafts with kids and teens, what are your best clean up tricks? Cleaning up after painting programs in particular is a NIGHTMARE and makes me regret every choice that led me to this point in life.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

I have a very small memory of the 1994 (?) Lion King in the theater I went to since I was 4-upper 20s. I think my brother had recently been born? It was loud and scary and I wanted to cry but he just slept. 😅

One of the most meaningful lessons I’ve learned is how important it is to make others feel important. Not on a surface-level—really notice what you appreciate, show them, and SAY it. We often assume our kind, talented friends already know how amazing they are. But often, they don’t hear it enough.

This needs to go under every single corporate announcement or advertisement about some bullshit “AI” feature they added.

Okay, need some workflow thoughts here. Normally when I need to add a new page to the library's website I just do it. Lately, however, WordPress or Elementor or whatever is throwing fits & editing at all is practically impossible for me. Admin is the only person who can brute force it right now.

Going over rules and guidelines on levy info-only marketing today and I'm laughing that a lot of the examples shown are doing things we're told expressly not to do.

Honestly, a lot of the issues public libraries deal with can't be solved until we refund, rebuild, and reimagine a whole lot of other public services. You can't shut everything else down, funnel every single person with every single need known to humankind into the library and expect good results.

As if kicking Americans off their health insurance wasn’t bad enough, Trump’s budget could put more than 300 rural hospitals in the US at risk of closure. We already have a health care crisis in Rural America. Trump would make it even worse to give billionaires a tax break.

Her statement on the display she made: “I was told I had creative freedom on displays,” Rodman told me. “I was just trying to be inclusive to as many people as I could. I think it’s important for Pride to be celebrated in small towns, also.” As it should be. 🫶

I’m seeing some new folks on this here platform complaining about a lack of engagement & interaction. Here’s the thing: Without an algorithm shoveling things at you (thank the gods), interaction is different and something you have to, well, actively generate. Here’s what I find works:

Enjoyed Still Wakes The Deep: Siren's Rest. It's frustrating to see games released with bugs but that's just how it is. Wished we got more of a reminder of who Mhari's connection was - had to Google. Wish we saw literally anything mentioning Caz other than the one voiceline. But overall it was fun.

The year is 1986. The North Sea has kept its secrets long enough. You play as Mhairi. You will find the answers to what happened on that oil rig in December 1975. No matter what. Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest - OUT NOW. 🌊 stillwakesthedeep.com

The heat makes people and animals lose their minds. Flesh-eating bacteria waits in warm, stagnant water. Things melt. Sharks hunt at the beach. The kudzu is always hiding something. The blistering sun wakes up the ghosts sleeping in the walls. Remember: summer is horror season.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

The Digital Equity Act provided grants that would have helped to ensure that all Americans have access to digital infrastructure in their communities. 🚨 But last month, the White House abruptly canceled these programs. Read on for what this means for public libraries 👉 bit.ly/4kJsTxF

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

AI was trained on my books (without my permission and against my will) so this annoys me. I never use AI. Not for research, not for images, not for writing. AI used me.

Writers almost never write the headline. (I don't think this should be shocking, but I see writers, including myself, blamed for bad headlines all the time, so here we are.)

AI skipping the process (of art, thinking, grieving, love etc.) matters. because process is time. and since we measure time by the rotation and travel of our planet, our experience of time is what connects us to the only habitable world in the universe, our history and evolution, and our future

Over and over at #OpenRepos2025 the refrain: libraries are people, the work is not powered exclusively by systems but people making connections in the context of those systems.

"AI is the enemy of the curious mind" I want to paint that. Turn it into sticker. Make art of it.

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

GenAI is doing a worse job at something a human can do, while being more wasteful and inefficient AND all of the other ethical and environmental concerns. It literally does nothing more useful or better than a human.
