Tomorrow begins National Library Week.

Name something your local library does that's cool, whether it's a program or a resource or whatever.

I'm a librarian and my library offers free classes on 3D printing, laser cutting, soldering, sewing, and a lot more. And we offer them in Spanish & English!

β€œSewing your own clothes to avoid tariffs” seems like a good idea until you realize it’s very expensive, takes a ton of time, and just about every component β€” from fabric and thread to sewing machines β€” are made abroad. I do think this is a great time to learn how to mend clothes, though!

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

I'm not really a fan of Booker's, but the kind of theatre he's doing now should be a basic competency for major Democratic figures β€” something people do even if they're not running for president in the next cycle.

If you're satisfied with Dems after this, or are ready to forgive them for fucking up their points of high leverage (nominations and the funding bill) in exchange for this, I'm probably not someone you want to follow on here

The Institute for Museum and Library Services Was Just Gutted DOGE fired all IMLS employees and closed down their emails. It is assumed all funding for 2025 coming from the federal agency will not be happening.

DOGE has just completely gutted the IMLS, firing all staff, closing down their email addresses, and leaving any funding for 2025 in question.

Find in here links to what this federal money supports in (almost) each state, too.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

YAY!!!

More of this! More of this!

Even if what you do is literally show up, you're making a statement.

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.
