This is a letter I did not want to write. There is a WWII-era saying: “If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.” If you voted for #Trump, you are a #Nazi. brandy-schillace.medium.com/the-letter-b...

Looks like Clarivate/ProQuest is about to lose a lot of money from me. Because I've been transitioning us back to prioritizing ownership of what we spend money on at this library. Not playing this game. A library that owns nothing isn't fulfilling its mission.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

We cannot support the state of hunting today. Once, long ago, hunting was how people fed themselves. today subsistence hunting has been largely replaced with thrill killing. With only 4% of mammals being wildlife, it's time to give them a break and end the pretenses of hunting as conservation.

there’s an alternate universe where AI products were introduced in a measured way, workers thoughtfully figured out how to integrate them into extant workflows, and reasonable leaders didn’t use them as rationale for laying people off (and legally couldn’t) unfortunately that’s not the one we’re in

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

The horrors of human trafficking and modern day slavery exposed in the H2A guest worker program should carry the highest penalties. A year and a day sentence is a slap on the wrist. The H2A program must be reformed to prevent such horror from occurring again.

Saving is not a one-sided contract. If you want to be saved, you have to put in the work, too. Libraries and librarians can't save anyone without help. Every library has different needs. Ask your local library what you can do to help.

I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.

Libraries pay for ebooks and (controversially) usually have to pay again if they want to keep them after a set number of check-outs, so authors do get paid by libraries. Do either, if you’re not pirating, the author is getting paid something.
