Hi new (apparently mostly Colorado) people! I am a librarian/archivist at a private university here, I am from Kansas (6 gens back on my mom's side), and I am an abolitionist, believer in harm reduction, and the need to protect public goods and services, including but not limited to libraries.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

I am undoubtedly still living with the ramifications of the mind fuck that was seeing celebrities my age or slightly younger featured on countdown clocks tracking when they would turn 18 so I have no trouble believing a good chunk of the rest of the population is too.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of my father's death. He was a complicated guy, especially so during the last few years of his life. The thought of a fucking a.i. on my phone trying to capture his humor and complexity and, frankly, craziness, makes me feel ill. I'll stick with my memories.

This injunction brought tears to my eyes. In a good way. It's also incredibly clear to me that a lot of the actions my university's administration are taking are intended to preemptively address the kinds of DOJ concerns and actions against UCLA that this injunction deems coercive and retaliatory.
