Howdy y'all.
We need to barnraise some fucking money. Like. A lot.
One family needs $4200 and another needs $1800 from the same shitty horrible landlord.
They need it ASAP. They're being threatened with eviction and immigration enforcement. There are kids in both homes.

Librarians are there to provide access, not restrict it. If this story is true, it's evidence of professional malfeasance. It's not cute.
What?
Librarian at the Library of Congress just out here hiding books for decades. 📚
“An activist and former political prisoner…said the situation was ‘apocalyptic’…[and] ‘The situation is so frightening it’s hard to describe. Smoke has covered the entire city. I have severe shortness of breath and burning in my eyes and throat, and many others feel the same.’”

The dog equivalent of never using that notebook you bought because it's too nice. #CricketSnoppy
Cataloguers, do you have any recs about where I can get a sense of the landscape of the field? What % of original records come from what orgs, what the balance of copy v original cataloguing is done at different kinds of institutions, etc.?
NOT looking for info about MARC, RDA, or other standards

Oh I've never seen an episode but I'm looking at a picture of Cajun Fox and that's an extremely fun design!
😙👌
screenshot of the website Your AI Slop Bores Me, where you write a prompt and a human responds after a few minutes. My prompt was "draw a fox with a hat" and there's a small sketch of a fox wearing a bowler hat.
Asked for a fox with a hat, got a fox with a hat. Extremely good. youraislopbores.me
this is so fun because i know an LLM wouldn’t give me a response this creative. like this took the funniest shortcut possible. come have fun at youraislopbores.me
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
My colleagues at ACRLog wrote short tributes to the life and work of Fobazi Ettarh @fobettarh.bsky.social. I wrote about her work on disability, which I think deserves more recognition. acrlog.org/2026/03/04/t...
Thanks @ezerrenner.bsky.social for coordinating. #CripLib #VocationalAwe
Thanks! It's the denim blue Powecom. bonafidemasks.com/denim-blue-p... I alternate between their blue & purple.
Violet wears a blue face mask and looks frazzled. She's on the escalator in terminal 1 at O'Hare airport, with a light display behind her.

Did you know books have been bound in leather not just from cows, but from reindeer, seal, and even shark?🦈 Learn more about historic bookbindings in my new episode of Bite Sized Book History! youtu.be/3aUdEy0Edf4?...
Tonight’s #SmallGoodThing: my anti-AI zine is finally available! I hope folks check it out!
I really like Bona Fide masks. They often have coupon codes (right now: 15% off with code BFM15). bonafidemasks.com/powecom-kn95... No patterns but ~10 different colors.
So glad to have more voices making the case in a readable and fun format. 💜
It's so beautiful! The octopus is gorgeous, too. Congratulations!! 🎊
Comic & Zine Night Market. Eli Tea Bar (Chicago) March 7th from 7pm-10pm. An illustration of a blond woman drinking tea and reading comics against a starry sky.
I’m going to be selling zines at my favorite gay tea business in Chicago this Saturday! Come on by!
Glad to hear it! Mid-week tickets are quite cheap, or when you're able to buy tickets more than a month out. Be aware that there's no wifi on this route (like most of their long distance routes). Let me know if you have any questions!
Violet, a middle aged white lady with glasses and a blue face mask, sits next to a window on a train. Winter trees are visible through a dirty window.
Another ride on Amtrak, from Minnesota back to Chicago. Bought this trip with Amtrak points, which are a very good deal compared to airline miles. Grateful for this route. 🚆
