Yes, the answer to that question is always yes.
I love going to work when it's:
- an ongoing (ignored) pandemic
- beginning of societal collapse
- beginning of environmental collapse
- beginning of economic collapse
- beginning of governmental collapse
- beginning of queer genocide
And like, I have to pretend it's all okay
Prosecuting librarians/educators is one of the hallmarks of a fascist regime... This is not imaginary. This is not a drill. The old girl scout motto "Be prepared" has never been more relevant. bit.ly/3WtYPMs via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Screenshot of a young person holding up a sign that says โBREAKING: ICE IN KENTUCKYโ The algorithm-facing comment says, โHad to share these cute winter boots I just got!โ
People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.
To get past algorithmic censorship, theyโre writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.
With all the ramped up fear around DEI dissolution, seems like a good time to remind #librarians & #LibraryWorkers about the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Merritt Fund. If you face joblessness due to discrimination, the Merritt fund is here to help financially. #library

In other news my mom and sisters actually want to do a little book club together so weโre going to read and discuss and Iโm honestly so excited for this!!
Find hope and community and fellowship in literature, people!
Just bought some hard copies of books Iโm afraid will actually be banned nationwide in the future - including the US Constitution. Fully expecting firemen to burn my home down for having books in it in the years to come since weโre now living in the F451/1984 world weโve feared of.
If I walk into work today and even one student hits that one-two salute Iโm going to actually crash out. Putting out a book display on Nazis and fascism as soon as I get in the door. #schoollibraries
Same here. I just ordered myself a pocket copy of the constitution. They canโt erase print materials that we keep in our homes. We need physical copies of these things while theyโre still available.
Please donโt make #booksky as toxic as #booktok was. Read whatever you want. There are no rules for enjoying a story. Audio, physical, digitalโฆany form as long as you enjoy it.
Send me your must-reads. You know, the political, queer, anti-racism, anti-fascism must-reads that I should probably get a physical copy of sooner rather than later.
Everything sucks but I got to be best friends with a calf named Maple this weekend, here she is, my Shayla
