Ok folks, now more than ever, we need to Be Kind and do Good Science.
This means digging in, producing the evidence, communicating clearly and sincerely, celebrating our collective curiosity, and being mindful of the spaces we are and can be in.

Federal cuts to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) hit locally. You can't get a book/resource that isn't in the county library anymore.

You may remember that @msimonovich.bsky.social and I had jobs funded by IMLS in the past... perhaps it didn't mean much then, but does now.

The alien fleet appeared suddenly and entered Earth's orbit. A message was broadcast, in thousands of languages

"Greetings! We are the Interstellar Mobile Library. We have 4096 ships, please suggest landing sites for all."

"Yes, of course it is free, and for all people."

"Why? We are a library."

When in doubt, just ask yourself: am I going as hard as the initial design of the 1st Minnesota Gettysburg monument?

If you saw Moonfall, and you're reeling in 2025 news, and can tolerate f-bombs, this is your screenshot.
Yes, screenshot - why? A little journey with me... 🧵

So pretend to be kind.

Just when I thought I couldn't love public libraries more, I just saw a library clerk helping a new patron register to vote.

Dang, @natedimeo.bsky.social, I'm glad that I had the chance to wander Dexter Avenue and discover that space for myself, before hearing today's episode. That being said, you really did the story justice. Thank you!

There is no honor in making others struggle solely because you did. Persevering through difficulty is worth celebrating, but is worth even more if you can lessen the burden for those who come after you, especially those less fortunate, less privileged. That way lies glory.
