A poster for National Library Workers Day, 4/21/26, in red, white, and blue. It also says "Libraries Work Because We Do."
I've lost count of how many graduate library students I've taught over the past nearly 30 years. At least 1500.
And though they're not all employed as librarians, I'm still gonna wish them all a Happy National Library Workers Day.
Your successes and passion and excellence sustain me.

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
The one thing that has taken a U.S. aircraft carrier offline in recent years was not enemy action. It was COVID.
Deciding now to put anti-science culture war signaling over military readiness is a bad idea.
This is not an either-or situation. Trump is both unable to fulfill his duties and has committed high crimes & misdemeanors.
He needs an independent cognitive assessment now. We can't wait until he gets mad at another country & decides to commit war crimes in the middle of the night.
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Today in social justice toolkit:
A dilemma action is a strategic action that forces your opponent into a lose-lose situation.
You've given them only bad options.
I give some examples
& then we talk about how to design them.
This one's pretty important.
Read and share, please?
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
What happened?
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Decisions are made by those who Show Up. If you don’t, then you forfeit your right to complain.
I would love it to happen, but this year’s Senate map makes that one helluvan uphill climb.
I react so badly to it that I’d react if I were two doors down while it was being removed.
Is “seeks to overthrow the Constitution due to deep philosophical objection to the idea of ‘We the People’” a good trait in a defense contractor? The sort the government should pay billions of dollars to and integrate into sensitive systems?
Because that doesn’t seem like the most reliable partner.

Replacing Tillis with Roy Cooper is achievable.
The midterms will serve as an unprecedented stress test of the integrity of American elections “with more election deniers having access to federal power than ever before,” some experts and Democrats warn.
Will Rogers put it best - “I don’t belong to any organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”
My wife asked me to repost this in case some folks missed it.
She is de-stashing her treasure hoard of yarn. There's a lot of it. It's kinda taken over the house. I'm in the attic of the garage right now. Help?

Two men promised 3D-printed homes would bring back this small town. They said God had sent them. State officials endorsed them.
So why is there just one cracked duplex?

With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.
Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.
