I think the moment is ripe for Dadaism to make a big comeback.

Learned about @libro.fm at ALA annual— it’s an audiobook app where you pick your fav indie bookstore and the audiobooks you buy support them. Putting my money in better places is at least somewhat in my control, and I need that when so much else is out my control.

Maybe the Cubs can win the World Series again and undo the curse they put upon us in 2016

It’s ok, it’s like the least of my worries, you know? Sorry to you too. It was so much work to put together.

National leadership Grant

Kimberly @greypele.bsky.social · 10d

National leadership. Program officer said 60% of invited submissions would likely be funded (before the dismantling of the IMLS), and the result for this particular grant was 4%

Kimberly @greypele.bsky.social · 13d

IMLS update: got a rejection letter. They only funded 8 projects (which is 8 more than I anticipated). 4% of projects invited for full submission.

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first?

Post from President Trump on Truth Social:

Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT

For example…

Search screen for Research Assistant with a search for “genocide in Palestine” returning no results.

Genocides across the world
History of genocides
lynching
lynching in the united states
lynchings in the united states

Sooooooo… is this the most fucked up 4th of July we’ve ever had? Because, for my lifetime, that’s a YES.

I’m sorry Philly, you’re actually awesome.

I’ll be there! Presenting on work that was made possible by the IMLS. Work that will improve education and create efficiencies in assessment and training.
