That you need a master's degree to be a librarian.

I love explaining to boomers that a millennial isn't perpetually someone in college.

Would love to meet the research team for this show. They're doing good work. #LastWeekTonight youtube.com/shorts/6v1gF...

#Craftsky #Crochetsky My first project with granny squares - a bit tedious but I love how it turned out.

AI is useless if it's not regulated, and judging by the state of social media, it never will be. When in doubt, ask a librarian #MakeReferenceCoolAgain #AskALibrarian

I miss the 90s, when he was just a punch line.

It's all worth it for the ones who ask us research questions.

One time I was on the desk and kept thinking I smelled what might be a gas leak. Walked all over the floor trying to figure out where it was coming from, only to learn later that one of our college students, an adult technically, had brought fart spray into the library and was spraying it around.

If you are a librarian or work in a library, please like or comment so I can follow you!

It's a limited collection too.

Maybe someday you will, in 20 or 30 years when we write about the Orange Scare.

Oh thank God. 🤞

I wish more people knew that librarians can help with literature reviews too. You'd be surprised what we can find that AI tools still sometimes miss.

HI HELLO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.

Other than telling everyone to go to the library and ask us questions bc #LibrariesAreNeutral #MakeReferenceCoolAgain and writing our Congress people about funding IMLS and NEH, what else should we be doing?

#crochetsky #crafts #pokemon For my stepdaughter. Mareep is her favorite. Not from a pattern. How did I do? Do you think she'll like it?

It's probably also because of Info Desks and authoritative information. #MakeReferenceCoolAgain #GoToTheLibrary

either, it's good for their use stats, which used to be what budgets were based on. #MakeReferenceCoolAgain #librarysky

We're in this mess because of misinformation. Don't argue with your kooky prepper aunt on FB. Call her up. Listen to her talk about her illnesses. When she says something false, don't fact check. Tell her to go to the library and ask about it at the Info Desk. Even if she doesn't believe them...

#Academicsky I love all the protests but I need something quieter and sneakier. Anonymous letter writing campaign? There's only 535 members of Congress. How long would it take me to write to all of them and ask for an amendment to protect academic freedom?

#filmsky - sorry to both my followers for an illness making you wait for the final years in my favorite film each year since I was born count down. My pick for 2023 is of course Barbie. Not highest ranked for '23 on IMDB ranked by popularity??? Bc of the patriarchy and its sad lack of horses.

My husband informs me that Challengers was 2024. Someone fix whatever list I found on IMDB.

Can't believe I missed some more honorable mentions! Marcel the Shell with Shoes on, Nope, Bros, Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe

Will look for that link! Keep it up!

Can we annoy them to death with mail? Eventually the Dems may be in power again and even some Republicans might want some of this madness to end.

I was thinking about something crazy like writing every Congress person as many handwritten, paper mail letters as we can get people to crank out demanding an amendment to the constitution to protect academic freedom and regulate social media. (I know, I can hear you laughing from here.)

Wish it had never been made: The Whale, Banshees (body horror ick), the Whitney Houston biopic (real story please, stop sugar coating it)
Too sweaty, not enough boys kissing: Challengers
Worst teaching I've ever seen on film: Tar

...Downton Abbey 2 (will see anything vintage and British), Mrs Harris (see?), Avatar 2, Glass Onion, Puss in Boots #?, Ticket to Paradise, Senior Year
