I’d love to be able to create a draft budget for next fiscal year early because I still have 4 months left in 2025 but I’m already agreeing to and planning for 2026 renewals - but I can’t update my POLs until rollover.

Grateful to those live-posting about the ProQuest meeting - the commentary is more informative than the meeting I watched last night.

Sometimes I get so starved for a dopamine hit that I want to jump into a never ending listserv discussion just to demand people stop replying and see what chaos erupts 😅

EBSCO really patting itself on the back as if they didn’t make us migrate all of our perpetual access digital audiobooks to another vendor’s platform a year ago 🤔

We give these companies so much money and my institution doesn’t have the staff to dig through the slop and complain if we don’t purchase through our consortium, but we’re often accommodating faculty demands by subscribing - enshittification all around.

This happens in every committee meeting on campus - “what if we did this? What if we had this service” and like… our library has BEEN doing it.

I’ve copy cataloged and removed our entire DVD collection over the last year and it really amazes me how many I’ve had to remove from our collection because they aren’t captioned. It just never dawned on me that a DVD would be released without captions.

I feel bad for the chiefs that I only watch one game a year because as far as I know this is their best - and I don’t know anything about football 😬

Blue cities and blue states will not protect us. Obeying in advance for what reason?

90% of time the only new workflow our library can stick to is clipboard based. Create a Microsoft form for supply requests? No one will use it. Hang a clipboard in the supply closet - 100% compliance.

Yesterday a student gave us the highest honor by thanking us for making the library the gayest place on campus 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ The horrors persist but so does the library.

All the smoke blowing in from the Hughes Fire ended up in the library because of our constantly opening automatic doors. It took so long for the campus to decide to close and even with a mask on the air quality was awful. I got home over an hour ago but I feel so sick.

First board meeting of the year and our new trustee is questioning the college curriculums - specifically calling out a Chicano Studies class and a class on Politics of Race and Gender.

I cannot believe we have to do this again. I’ve been totally avoiding acknowledging it since election day and I haven’t built up any coping mechanisms. Just total avoidance.

Things I’m not doing this time around. 1. Spiraling over every little fucking controversy. 2. Giving blue maga any oxygen (now all the things that were Dark Brandon 4D chess are fascism again).
