I engineer software. I am a librarian, (and teach them, too). I studied DNA and genetics for a bit. I'm a textile artist and serial hobbyist. That's enough for now.

It is their *service* mission to help scholars.
It is their *research* mission to help Congress.
It's an important distinction. When I was a librarian doing research, I didn't help a single patron.

Yup, and its "research mission" (the research LoC librarians and research fellows *do*) is in support of Congress. Doesn't mean they don't help other researchers doing other research of their own, but that's not its research mission. Librarians *do* research in the area of their research mission.

The library is *supposed* to be a circus. Librarians aren’t gatekeepers of knowledge, they’re compelled to get it to EVERYONE who wants it. LOC’s research mission is limited to Congress, by design. Dr. Hayden is a national treasure.

Seen www.costplusdrugs.com? Their cost without insurance was less than copays in my case. Not for one-off prescriptions, probably still need local for that, but it’s made me think.

Yup, changing day by day -- as of the latest poll I saw CONs were one seat short of being able to form a full government alone. Maybe the tariffs will take that farther out of reach. Maybe not. I am no longer willing to predict anything about anything.

How long will this last? They're on the cusp of electing their version of our current US president. Sigh.
