Cosmic explorer circulating at the library, and helping people connect with their stories. Look for me in nonfiction books.
Amazing stories change us, and I’ve lived a few of them.
Wearing FloMask because COVID is airborne and also circulating.

Saw this Tesla with “BLACK LIVES MATTER” bumper sticker, & imagined the owner might be looking for another bumper sticker to say, “I wanted a more environmentally-friendly electric car, but didn’t realize the white South African born billionaire carmaker was a racist wanting to destroy US democracy”

Sen. Murray @murray.senate.gov looked what I just shelved at the library. Using this story as analogy in your remarks to Senate was exactly correct. Don’t give any cookies to billionaires! They can afford to buy their own cookies — and they can afford to share cookies too! Defend democracy!

Sen @cantwell.senate.gov I read your release. It appears that Scott Bessant, who you voted to confirm, is not upholding his oath in allowing this utterly incomprehensible breach.

The proverbial fox left the hen house hours ago with all the chickens & priceless eggs.

Pls manage @bsky.app account.
Screen image of Sen. Cantwell statement from her US Senate website. “Cantwell Statement on DOGE Commission’s Reported Access to Sensitive U.S. Treasury Systems WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) released this statement regarding reports that Elon Musk and his DOGE team gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems: “Congress needs an explanation as to why the head of a private data management corporation and his volunteer team needed access to this system in the middle of the night. We need to know why they want to access the system, what they intend to do with our data, and whether there are any safeguards in place. This threatens the privacy and funds owed to every American taxpayer and Social Security recipient. Congressional Republicans cannot continue to turn a blind eye as to how their own constituents’ private financial records are handled.””

Yes, my name is Libby, and I work at the library.

Yes, the Libby app @libbyapp.bsky.social is fantastic for free ebooks and free audio books. Use your library card and be well-read for free!

Yes, I wear FloMask @flomask.bsky.social because COVID is airborne and can linger in the air like smoke.
