Vocational Awe and Librarianship: The Lies We Tell Ourselves – In the Library with the Lead Pipe Vocational awe describes the set of ideas, values, and assumptions librarians have about themselves and the profession that result in notions that libraries as institutions are inherently good, sacred notions, and therefore beyond critique. I argue that the concept of vocational awe directly correlates to problems within librarianship like burnout and low salary. This article aims to describe the phenomenon and its effects on library philosophies and practices so that they may be recognized and deconstructed.

EMERGENCY RENT FUND: Support Workers in Minnesota Rent is due FEBRUARY 1st. Support our Emergency Rent Fund for Minnesotan workers and families facing eviction due to ICE Raids. We are calling for a rent moratorium, but regardless of if that happens ...

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

She is saying it loud but this is what they mean when they say oh this is not the country I am used to

Yes, absolutely. It’s abhorrent.

And that also goes for all children currently held in juvenile facilities/detention centers around this country too.

John Brown also said, "Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!" Caution with the enemy is certain danger for us. Be cautious with each other, first and foremost. We can't do this without each other.

John Brown said "Be mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity." Your dignity is bound up in others'. How do you preserve and uplift dignity?

Assata said "It is our duty to win!" Winning can look different depending on who you are and what you're doing. Did one more person in your community come to an ICE defense training? Has your family member started warning folks about patrols?

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

South Shore residents of the apartment building raided by ICE expressed feeling abandoned by city and state leaders.

Bronzeville's historic arts center's glow-up boosted by new $2 million grant

The South Side Community Art Center — a Bronzeville landmark that has been an artistic home for generations of Black creatives such as Margaret Burroughs, Gordon Parks and Kerry James Marshall — received a $2 million grant to help restore its historic building and construct a major addition.

Alice Wong, disability rights advocate and wordsmith, dies at 51 Alice Wong, a transformational leader for disability rights and justice, who founded the Disability Visibility project to magnify disabled culture, died Nov. 14.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

11Alive news headline: "Woman sits in car for 14 hours to get food during New Birth Baptist church food giveaway More than 2,000 people waited in their cars in line Saturday morning in order to receive food."

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.

Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

Over 10,000 killed within three days.

Pools of blood around a hospital so large they could be seen from space.

An absolute nightmare.
