We have some news...

This may be some of the most complete reporting I've seen on what's happening over at LOC / Copyright Office / CRS: www.lawdork.com/p/dont-mess-...

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚

Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚

The way that massive conglomerates consumed and destroyed the comics blogging community and comics news in general is a tragedy, and a microcosm of what’s happening to media at large.

Chess is a game about a powerful woman needing to protect a frail man with extremely limited capabilities

Safe travels!

Everything?

My brain doesn’t want to do work tonight. I just want to organize my new calendar set up.
