Almost a year since @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social premiered at Sundance. I still haven’t fully wrapped my head around being part of a documentary that’s meant so much to our profession and has taken me around the world. What a whirlwind year. Grateful and blessed.

There's a reason why Fred Rogers used the word "neighbor." The older I get, the more powerful I realize "being a good neighbor" is... and I'm not talking about some damn State Farm.

Just because a lot of people are cruel, bigoted, and brainwashed doesn’t mean we have to find a “middle ground” with them or a “compromise” that satisfies some of their racist delusions. We just don’t.

Minnesota: Where if you try to drive your kids out of the neighborhood to keep them safe from ICE violence, ICE will bomb your car with flash bangs and tear gas, and your 6-month-old will stop breathing and all your children will have to be hospitalized.
GOP 'Murica. This is wrong and evil.

HYPOTHETICALLY, if I were to stay in another country for 6 months, possibly longer depending on visas/state of things, would I have a friend interested? It would help to go with a buddy and share expenses.

This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

I have had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day and this just made me CACKLE🤣🤣😆
I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.
