Education is our jam and when you see students sharing newfound knowledge, asking informed questions, thinking through dilemmas, and valuing every persons dignity and diverse stories-that’s good stuff!

It’s Tax Day and a good day to mention we ♥️ our shared public funds being invested in the #humanities and social sciences-research, teaching & learning, preservation, and more! Learning to question and contextualize, the power of voice and the collective - essential. #talkabouthumanities

In a HUGE VICTORY for library and cultural workers, we have reached a favorable resolution in our ongoing lawsuit with @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social against the illegal dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, protecting the IMLS' funding, staffing & services!
