Thought I heard rain outside but nope, just the thunderous rustling of millions of women in the United States of America turning slowly around to look directly into the camera

asking people to avoid being cringe at all costs is asking them to harden their hearts, and I’m not sure why you’d then expect someone who’s hardened their heart to choose the communal good or the defense of the vulnerable over individual gain and safety

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.
The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.
Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding.

Library workers, library lovers, treat yourself to this thread.
My library has a free food shelf (and fridge) for people who want/need food when the food shelf isn't open. It has some staples and ready-to-eat stuff as well as utensils and instructions how to label premade food for major allergens
