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.

Considering how often it smells like sulfur out here, I'm not surprised to see this
Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities.
At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions.

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

I feel like when I started my career, double-majors were pretty rare, and now it's the opposite for anyone who wants to do something in Humanities/Social Sciences/Arts at least, where I only see double (or triple) majors

Students worried about getting jobs are adding extra majors
After he graduates from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Drew Wesson hopes to begin a career in strategic communication, a field with higher-than-average job growth and earnings. One year into his time at the university, Wesson became more strategic about this goal. Like nearly 1 in 3 of his classmates, he declared a second major to better stand out in an unpredictable labor market. It’s part of a trend that’s spreading nationwide, according to a Hechinger Report analysis of federal data, as students fret about getting jobs in an economy that some fear is shifting faster than a traditional college education can keep up.

You know what else is being affected by the tariffs on parcels worth less than $800? International interlibrary loan. I'm hearing reports of libraries overseas that won't lend to the US anymore. (That's in addition to the libraries here that have shut down their ILL b/c of lost IMLS funding.)

It turns out, to conduct research on social media, you probably should have a few accounts. So, I'm on Bluesky now!
