Just a reminder that respecting old people is DEI, so if you're gonna get rid of that.. Also, why are we letting all these old people that 100% ate lead paint chips run the country?

Remember to call your state govt reps too- right now, Ohio is gearing up to attack its libraries. And ironically, some of these people use free public library meeting rooms to push their anti library agenda. But the library welcomes anyone to use its resources. That's why we are so important.

I've tried calling my senators multiple times, always getting their voicemail, and never getting a call back. And apparently, I'm not alone.

Woke up angry. Rage-called all my representatives, asking what they are doing to act as the checks and balances against a tyrannical government. Now I'm listening to Murderbot book 2 by @marthawells.com to soothe my soul.

Here, we look at these libraries’ vast and varied homeschooling resource collections and the librarians who help families discover and benefit from all that is available.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop. Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change. State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

There is a belief that the Nazis were a monolith of anti-Semitic, war-happy clones of Hitler. In reality they were an alliance of groups of anti-Semites, racists, nationalists, militarists, corporatists, all of whom saw something in Hitler they could get behind. They were not all the same.

Look, just prepare yourselves now.. This is going to be a library-centric account, and that probably means I'm going to have to share and post a lot of stuff about how we need to support and save libraries. We need them now more than ever, and they're trying to defund us.

Now's the time to stock up on your banned books! Remember: - physical media is best (because unless you own the PDF/Epub, Amazon can take it from you!) - Shop local, thrift stores, used bookstores, or independent sellers - Thriftbooks is not owned by Amazon and supports independent bookstores.

We know that Trump's previous administration proposed cutting all federal library funding every year he was in office. But what does federal funding pay for, and why does it matter? You might be surprised! bit.ly/3WkmIWG via @everylibrary.bsky.social
