I don't know what the effects will be of a lot of people outsourcing as much executive function as they can to their phone but my guess is "not great"

Here I Am: Reflections on Running and Losing Running for ALA President was one of the most meaningful experiences of my professional life. I didn’t win. I lost—and I gained more than I ever imagined. From the beginning, I knew my odds. Dr. Ma…

I ran for ALA President. I didn’t win. I lost—and I’m proud.

I did it my way, with an incredible team, and a campaign was joyful, substantive, and unapologetically high femme. No regrets!

I hope you’ll run too! I hope you win. Holler if you want to chat.

ALRIGHT! I just received 4,000 copies of this LOSERS ATTACK OUR LIBRARIES postcard that I designed. The text on the back (shown in the product listing) was generated through many suggestions from librarians on Bluesky. These are 10 for $3.00 (plus shipping). halfletterpress.com/losers-attac...

Just a reminder that the ALA Elections close this Weds April 2nd. I'm voting for Lindsay @lindsonmars.bsky.social because for years I've seen her fight the good fight within ALA, even when it was hard. She'll be an excellent advocate for library workers! 📚🌟 #CronkTheVote

If you haven’t yet noted in the ALA elections yet please vote for @lindsonmars.bsky.social!

A bus is partly submerged in water.

Trucks and cars up to their hoods in water.

Trucks and cars nearly covered by water.

Most of the towns in the part of South Texas where I live—the Río Grande Valley—are partly underwater as we live through some of the heaviest rain in more than a century, breaking records going back to 1911.

No one was ready. With government weather alerts being dismantled, the cost will be high.

Everyone doing this work for any period of time knew this was coming.

It's no longer "I'll do it some day," as so many thought to themselves when we threw warnings out in 2020, then 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

NOW is beyond time for doing something to protect your libraries.

Funding for organizations like NEH and IMLS is such a ridiculously measly pittance, it’s of course absurd to claim that eliminating their activities is “efficient.” We know that. On the contrary, they’re *so* efficient and effective that they represent a threat to their project.

Thanks so much, Matthew. Your support means a great deal! We’ll bring the org along.

Platform Libraries have never been more important to the well-being our society. Library workers deliver knowledge equity despite the increasing complexities of and barriers to providing access. To continue…

ALA President-Elect:

@lindsonmars.bsky.social has my vote because

(1) communication is vital & Lindsay does it better than most in LIS

(2) made wage equity a key issue

(3) book bans are a problem - but not the ONLY one and she's been consistent about this

@amlibraryassoc.bsky.social members: it is election time!

I hope you will make a point to learn about the candidates and cast your votes.

Because of PSLF, I’m a library department head who can now take my dept out for lunch! Buy coffee for meetings! Being extra boxes of Kleenex for cubicles!

I wouldn't be a librarian today without student loans. Next to no one from my economic class, from my generation would be.

I wouldn't have taken those loans without the promise of forgiveness for nonprofit work.

The agreement I signed, that I'm bound to as a loanee, should bind the loaner, too.

I've been so impressed with Lindsay's thoughtful approach to making change within ALA. She has the discernment to focus on what truly matters (protecting library workers) & the drive to make things happen. She'll be a terrific ALA president!! #CronkTheVote
