I can't stop thinking about this Rebecca Shaw quote, "I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers."
Like truly, how did I end up alive when Trump and Elon Musk, the two biggest losers in the history of the world, are in charge?

I got elected to my library board tonight. So that's apparently a thing I'm doing. I find it wild that almost 800 people, most of whom have never met me, voted for me. #libraries 📚

Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real.
Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this.
Not complaining, just surprising.

Library workers do a lot of great work. But we're also just people. We are not perfect and we are not the champions of the revolution. We need your support, not your idolization.

Librarianship is like 90% white and cis women. Many of them are just as bigoted as the rest of the country. Many are very happy about book bans and the shift toward fascism. Many will happily stigmatize and ostracize unhoused, trans, BIPOC, and other vulnerable and marginalized patrons and staff.

I get the sentiment behind these kinds of posts, but I really wish folks would stop doing this. Librarians are not superheroes. We are not the last stand for democracy. Please stop putting us on a pedestal.
Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.
