“It takes no exaggeration to say that we have expended far more effort as a people to guard against the violence of shoe bombs (total body count: zero) than the scourge of gun violence, which on average kills more than 125 Americans every day.”
The TSA is ending its shoes-off rule after more than 20 years without finding a single shoe bomb, so you know I had to go in:
Why Were We Taking Our Shoes Off at Airports In the First Place?
The TSA and DHS are officially ending the requirement to remove your shoes during airport security after more than 20 years of War on Terror rule.

I think the last sentence here is what really, really needs to keep being hammered home. Librarianship isn't about machines. It's about PEOPLE. Do you use machines? Sure. Do you program machines? Sure. Do you make machines easier to use and navigate? Sure.
All of that is for PEOPLE, though.

If, as some collections folks have been discussing, "machines become the primary users of online collections," I'm gonna need a new career.
I have no interest in doing work to facilitate machines.

I’ve been obsessed with this Sarah McBride quote from Pod Save America (04/20/25) for weeks, and I just really need to drop it somewhere:
“I've been thinking about how does a woman successfully push back, navigate a workplace, a world where so often her passion is held against her.”
