Ya know, maybe erasure isn't so bad compared to this.
Rep. Sarah McBride: "It goes both ways. A big tent is bisexual. It goes to the left and the right . And that starts with us being kind to one another, being respectful to one another and being welcoming to one another."

Yo, fellow cis people, it's actually still okay to assume pronouns for people with a strongly indicative gender presentation instead of suddenly saying "they" for *everyone.*
Just stay sensitive to cues that say otherwise and you'll be fine.

Had a patron frustrated and on the verge of tears because she needed to access a website related to social services and couldn't manage to create a password by typing the same thing into two obscured fields. Begging library staff to make up a password and type it in for her. /

It's sad that I'm so used to articles being FOR whatever it is they're taking the time to explain in the words of adherants, that I was surprised to find out this is the hardest criticism of "moderate" men I've ever read.

It's astonishing how resistant #resist folks are to effective advocacy for the freedom to read.
Speak out at public hearings and help people get elected to positions of power.
Them: "My banned book club is doing a cycling tour of little free libraries and adding copies of 1984 we bought from B&N."

Just did a one hour book talk at one of my dream libraries to a big empty room and two librarians because ICE was outside and no patrons came in.
This will change. We will stop this.

Supernatural belief isn't irrational because it's inherently impossible. It's irrational because the evidence is really bad. When the evidence is good, it's OKAY TO BELIEVE IT'S THE GHOSTS!

Applying for a nonresident library card on the other side of the country for the digital services. It'll be about $45 because that's what residents pay in taxes.
Nice to find one that doesn't require physically stopping by!

I love Manilow and learned things from this thread.
He was my mom's favorite singer growing up, so he's basically The Beatles to me.
But my mom's a bigot so when he came out she dropped him. I didn't. My fav? When October Goes.

And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.

Sounds like a community information service to me.
One of the people I warned yesterday was a minor (dual-credit student) who told people that I had said that ICE was definitely going to raid the campus (which I did not say--all I told people was that ICE was in town and that they *might* come to campus, or they might not).
