I am reading this right now as a sick day treat and it is flipping delightful (as expected) from fountain pens to library love to swoony romance! Treat yourself!

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Happy Day 1 of #28DaysofBR. What is #28DaysofBR you ask? Even though we read/celebrate Black Romance 365, this is a little challenge I created in 2022 to put the spotlight on the authors and stories we love so much. This years theme is Black Romance authors from the 90’s and 2000’s

Haven't posted one of these in a while: a small list of cozy transfem lesbian fantasy books! #lesfic #sapphicromance

The problem with DEI is not that it went too far, but that it didn’t go far enough. My latest:

If you’ve ever said to yourself “I’ll read Rebekah’s books eventually.” go ahead and click that link. Get the books now for cheap. You won’t regret it.

Invigorated by a delightful discussion of @catswrites.bsky.social's *We Could Be So Good* at this morning's Romance Book Club! #LibraryLife @surlyspice.bsky.social

sorry i didn't do that thing, it wanted me to reset my password

i just really love collection development

Happy that a new-to-my-library patron came across me when looking for an erotic romance to take home! #LibraryLife

We watched the Grammys so you don't have to! (Although actually you should -- it was a really good show this year.) drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-bests-...

*in a building with a hundred book trucks* Me: “If only there was something on wheels that could help me move heavy stuff around”

A secret: when I'm running a D&D game, I have no idea how much health the enemy has, the fight ends when I think it would be satisfying.

"do you still issue library cards, or is everything online now?"

Right in one!

It’s time for #AuthorPhotoGuess! Do you know who this is?

E-audio to be released 2/11/25 and is currently available in OverDrive Marketplace #CollectionDevelopment @notalegalrecord.net

My talk for Wild Wisconsin on readers' advisory & how books are our brand in libraries is up! Thanks again to @raforall.bsky.social for the connection! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw8L...

I l i t e r a l l y had to look at the calendar just now to be sure that the inauguration was only four days ago.

this piece was written by john f. harris, one of the founders of politico and currently an editor there. it isnt an opinion piece by a maga head. its a piece by one of the most influential mainstream journalists in america. this is the shit we are facing.

watching an old jeopardy! with @helgagrace.bsky.social and we both shouted when OPERA was a category because our favorite diva was sitting next to the tv

Hooray!

I don't want to sift through gofundme appeals. I want to pay progressive taxes and fund a safety net for everyone.

Apple is looking at numbers don’t give em too much credit But yeah again time to be very aware and proactive
