Free Library Phl mentioned as ‘temp closed for picketing activity’

Here's the link to the digital version of the zine that I made to accompany my poster @ #ALAAC25 bit.ly/wl-tpl-zine

as a former resident of that state, this network would've been such an amazing resource to tap into.

AFAIK, minn. is the only one (w/ the support of MLA) to have executed such events. #ALAAC25

listening to folks from the minnesota-wide library advisory board and their experiences organizing summits and PD for that state's BIPOC library workers. this includes supporting many first-time attendees for @mnlib.bsky.social conference. #ALAAC25

HUGE props to karen li of @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social for shouting out the importance of translators, as well as place and home, especially for indigenous authors! #namethetranslator #ALAAC25

Sorry to have missed you (it's Charisma). But yes, quiet car all the way!

Thanks for the share! I've enjoyed so many of your translations!

Thanks for the tip!

Excited to start setting up the #ZinePavilion at #ALAAC25! Find us at booth 1862!

Foreground shows the cover of a quarter-sized zine mimicking the cover of a U.S. passport. The header reads 'world languages' in all capital gold letters. This is followed below by a gold globe icon. Below the globe in italicized gold letters reads 'at Tacoma Public Library, ALA Annual Conference, June 2025.' Out of focus in the background are various colorful posters hanging on a gray magnetic wall.

Come find me Sun 6/29 in the pm @ #ALAAC25!

this is GOLD!

Preparing devices for travel through a US border US border searches of electronic devices put journalists’ work at risk. But there’s a lot you can do to be prepared

A joint project of @freedom.press and @eff.org: Journalists have been asking us about how to prepare devices for travel. We put together a checklist of things you can do: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

My proposals to talk about the Zine Thesaurus have been rejected at multiple conferences, so we're going to create a space for ourselves on the exhibit hall floor. If you're attending #ALAAC25, please join us! 📚

WTAF!

Who wants to collaborate on a grief zine with me?

Last Friday I saw one of my favorite bands (who I never thought I'd ever see in concert) and it was all I could to be not to be 😭😍.

this is EXACTLY what i made for my poster presentation at this year's ALA!

I would like to be around more library people who are ambivalent about their work. Or just like, less in love with it? (And are able to look at it with a more critical lens...)
