What's happening at Western Illinois University is catastrophic as folks will discover when knowledge systems that librarians build, maintain, and explain inevitably fall apart. Can you have a university without librarians? I don't know, can you swim without water?

Have been off Twitter for quite some time but when I heard stirrings that #BlueSky has been hitting its stride recently I decided to pop in. Happy to see so much of #BuddhistStudies Twitter has migrated here. I’ve missed the digital community 🪷
