The unspoken assumption is that you are a woman who is doing it for the love of the game and that your husband makes the real money so it's okay to post positions requiring an MLIS and think you'll be just fine with only making $15-$19 an hour.
Librarianship has never paid well enough for the education required.
In this moment - where the rent is impossible to cover solo - it is even worse.

Maddow plugging Bluesky is, on a metric level, good for the platform, but it also means it is clearly filling up with people who have never used this kind of app before. They're used to Meta platforms, which is why they reply angrily to everything they see and add nothing. Human spam essentially.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

SCOOP from @nbcnews.com — A senior FEMA official instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration — for the second time — to stop such pauses.
