Last night, libraries across the country began receiving official notices from the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services terminating their grants, effective April 1, 2025.
Please take a minute to protest this unlawful action.

I used SkyFollowerBridge to migrate my twitter follows and when I figure out how to stop a massive post dump to my Bsky followers I'll use Porto to import my tweets
Looking for a way to not-spam my followers when I import my twitter posts... 17 years of tweets would be a lot of notifications - most of the 2007-2012 posts will be out of date inside jokes
Not too happy with @CapitalOne Savor card rn -- I tried to make a payment in full 2 months ago but the app errored it out -- I've been charged interest even after paying in full every month since

Is it better to make an aspirational statement to abolish fines or not say something about a seemingly local issue
Heads up #alamw2019 folks, the registration desk is in a different location than before if you've been to previous midwinters in Seattle
