This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

I dare say that one of the most tedious things of beginning this dissertation process is the lit review. My eyes and brain literally want to cross from all the articles I’ve been reading. But, I’ve got checkpoints and goals to hit, so read I must!!! #doctoralcandidate #phdlife

Wow! Hello all my new followers! Just a fair warning to those thinking of following me - I quickly block p0rnbots and other suspicious accounts. What makes you NOT suspicious? Well, a bio definitely helps, as well as a post or more. Easy peasy! Anyhow, happy cray cray Monday!

The American people have been set up. Create a problem only to be the one to solve it is part of the authoritarian playbook.

Bye bye TikTok. I’m so sad right now. Currently the F app and the I app are in a BANNED folder - I will not feed the machine. If you need me I’ll be reading for my dissertation readings or on the Y app…

Self censorship is real. I don’t blame librarians - it’s a difficult position to be put in. I cant have some of those books just in the picture based on MO law (sigh). But to be instructed by a district? Not cool, KISD…

Great convo w/ Prof. Gay Ivey & others, @technolibrary.bsky.social suggested a strong protective strategy would be to have student & parent book clubs, parents reading alongside Ss so they can step up at board meetings to explain why the books matter for Ss. #SchoolLibrarians #TLSky

Appreciate Michal Threets discussing mental health in the library. “You can’t help the kids and the library if you can’t help yourself.” As another one of those suffering from depression and anxiety & have been for so so so long, it’s such an important thing to discuss. #sjlsummit24

Everyone belongs. “There are unhoused people, mentally ill people, library kids, library teens, grandparents, autistic people, neurodivergent people who all use a library, and it belongs to all of them.” - Mychal Threets #ReasonstoLoveLibraries #SLJSummit bit.ly/3RGM52r

There seem to be a number of Americans who don’t know what to do if they find a book they don’t like at the library. For them, we wrote this handy step-by-step guide. action.everylibrary.org/what_do_i_do...
