My teaching librarian friends, how are you doing? It’s been a lot. What a time to be out here trying to teach critical thinking and information literacy.

a really fucking exhausting thing about this current moment is that any good faith efforts to reform or acknowledge short comings of knowledge producing and sense making institutions is promptly weaponized by people who want to burn the entire thing down and drown us in avalanche of bullshit

Librarian pals, have you experienced students filming themselves the entire time during open search time? First time for me and I have never seen that before. Is it like body doubling but with yourself?

People are wondering how this'll look in action since 'Antifa' is an ideology not a centralized organization but remember when every baby, child & medical practitioner in Gaza was secretly Hamas for the past 23 months?

So I think it'll look like whatever's convenient to jam you up at any given time

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”

Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

Donald J. Trump t @realDonald Trump
I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A.
Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago.

There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

Librarians (and honestly, everyone). Block and/or watch out for this account, which appears to be gathering posts critical of Charlie Kirk/right wing ideology.

Note the misspelling of the handle.
