At ASIST and my dog Lily came with me!
A light-colored dog sits on a brick sidewalk wearing a conference badge that reads “Lily, Lily Dudak, Syracuse University,” with ribbons that say “Student,” “1st Time Attendee,” and “Speaker.” The dog looks off to the side while on a leash, with a building and small tree in the background.

This has been on my desk since my early days as a #librarian. Libraries are great - go support your #library. But they cannot be everything all the time, especially when the world is going to shit. So, if you are a #libraryworker and need permission to rest, you go. Live to fight another day.
An image that looks like it is from Shel Silverstien's The giving tree - there is the trunk of a tree with a few low branches, two on it's hips like arms. It seems like the tree is looking down at a little boy with his hands open, looking up at the tree expectant. The text reads "The tree said 'no it's time we set some boundaries.' And the tree was happy."
