I thought I’d go to AHA as an excuse to visit Chicago and see friends. However, it’s expensive, plus I’m worried about ICE activity at the conference. I‘m on social media less than I used to be and wondered if I missed something. Tagging @nellstra.bsky.social because he knows everyone

I am soooo excited for #AASLH25! I've been wanting to go to this conference for a while. While I'm excited to learn from all the panelists, the tours and events look great, too.

Dr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans.
It’s no surprise this callous President fired our nation’s librarian. Another attempt to shut our country out from history, progress, and learning.

Classes are over. I have made the annual bookstore stop, acquired mindless, fluffy books, and am now enjoying a story with a glass of wine (plus 1 cuddly gray cat).

At the end of class every semester I hit a bookstore and the thought of piles of new books to flip through on Friday evening is sustaining me through the final week
