I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.
Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

I'm sure librarians will show up in the next round, or maybe we're in the "educators" category. 😡📚
According to the DOE, I don't hold a professional degree anymore! 😳 I guess my two Master's degrees are worthless now.

In 6th grade in 1988, a male teacher regularly gave long back rubs to the girls in class who had begun developing breasts. It was disgusting and no one with any authority cared.
In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

Why Won't the U.S. Stop Child Marriage?
Child marriage is a persistent problem, and the United States is far from immune. Most child brides are young girls wed to adult men.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
