Had a meeting with a bunch of business guys today, and one of them asked me if I was afraid ai would replace my job ( #librarian). I laughed. “5 minutes ago you couldn’t even find the free version of a NYT article without me, and that’s the easiest thing I do so I think I’ll be fine.” #librarysky

Honestly pretty bummed conclave is over. The thought of the cardinals whispering in between voting like gossipy old ladies was really tickling.

People think what we do is magic. When I say I’m a librarian, people have clapped. Yet here we are. IMLS is being dismantled by the bullies we put in power. What a slap in the face. #librarysky #imls #librarians

IMLS also only makes up 0.005% of the federal budget. Anyone claiming they're saving the government money or making things more efficient by cutting IMLS is lying through their teeth.

As we write, DOGE is reportedly inside the gates of the IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services), where Keith Sonderling, Deputy Secretary of Labor and “somehow now Acting Director” of IMLS is dismantling the agency that helps libraries be libraries. /1

DOGE is in IMLS right now, dismantling the place that gives over $200 million in funding to libraries and museums a year. For educational programing. Shame on them. Shame on us for letting it happen in relative silence. #imls #libraries
NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.

Hey so there’s nothing wrong with being autistic and we don’t need to eliminate autism or reduce the number of autistic people in the world.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

📚✨LIBRARIAN TIP FOR #booksky
Check out banned books, queer books, romance books, revolutionary books from your local library!! A lot of our purchasing is driven by how well these books circulate!! We also determine what books to get rid of by how recently they’ve circulated.
