When people complained about Citizens United, I doubt they even had this in mind as a possibility. One man, not a corporation, able to fund primary challenges against anyone who fails to fall in line. Absolutely grotesque.

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said:

"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."

The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.

We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.

Joy is my favorite weapon.

Good news for once!

We’ve found a 300-year-old coral that’s so big it’s visible from space. It’s now considered the world’s largest. Best of all: it’s not yet harmed by climate change & global warming.

It’s being called a beacon of hope. Let it also be a call to action! #DoSomething 🧵

You might be doing well, but don’t pull that ladder up behind you—try and build stairs for others. Work to make the system fairer for everyone. As the saying goes: nobody’s free until everybody’s free.

This is really important. Librarians are among the first targets in Agenda 2025 which labels any that handle materials related to sex and gender, as sex offenders. (Seriously, it really says this). They'll be among the first we have to stand up for
I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚
