Thank you, Sen. Kaine. I am the current president of the Richmond Academic Library Consortium, and I can tell you, the dissolution of IMLS has been disastrous for many libraries, which *only* exist to serve the public good.

Which is exactly why I'm putting it back on you, rather than doing it for you. I too have too much to do to remember. ;)

Put it on hold from the catalog! We just ordered the print copy today -- will probably be here by end of week.

Ordering a copy for the UPSem library now! Congrats, Andrew.

My God, this is the kind of niche humor I exist for. #seashantygirlie

I really like this show too!

It's nice to read this; it efficiently articulates my own view as well. Indeed, it's my view of the existence of deity too, really. Maybe these things exist. Maybe they don't. I'm okay either way, and interested in others' thoughts, but I don't feel a personal investment in holding a "right" view.

Thank you! I'm relieved -- that was a lot of money that I was afraid was floating in the ether. The other socials I contacted you on were Instagram (@theeldritchlibrarian) and Facebook.

Hang on... does that mean we should beat our plowshares into swords and our pruning hooks into spears (Joel 3:10)?
