Why I’m Resigning from the NSF and Library of Congress I cannot participate in systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

Every creative person I’ve talked to had that same reaction (as did I) Coogler is doing his work he was meant to do, I better do mine!

Same! Happy Mother’s Day to me 🙃

We are disappointed for Texas teens that Tx House just passed HB3225. This would restrict Tx teenagers from using adult books in the library, including classic novels. Pregnant teens can't access books on childbirth. 250 years of libraries in this country without age restrictions until now. Scary.

To quote @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social among many: if we can free one, we can free them all.

Children pay the highest price in war and violence.

#ForEveryChild, peace and protection.

Trump abruptly fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the first woman and African American to occupy the position, had been targeted in recent days by a right-leaning group.

Dr. Carla Hayden has done more for literacy and readers, has gotten more books into kids' hands and onto their home bookshelves than you can even imagine. Make calls, please. Demand that she be allowed to finish her ten-year term next year.

Mehmet Oz channeling his eugenic ancestors.
The installation in this photo was set up at a "Fitter Families" contest in 1926, and draws the same explicit connections between health, the nation and patriotism that Mehmet does here.
Have a read through what it says.

It's nice to see elected representatives visiting their constituents who have been detained by ICE but may I respectfully suggest university presidents consider doing the same

SEND AN EMAIL: Veto North Dakota's Censorship Bill SB 2307 SEND AN EMAIL TO THE GOVERNOR: Veto SB2307! Protect North Dakotans’ Right to Read.

North Dakota! Censorship bill SB 2307 passed in the legislature so now we need to focus on pressuring the Governor to veto www.righttoreadnd.org/vetosb2307

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants

the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever

they aren’t going into universities’ endowments

they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Trump Said Cuts Wouldn’t Affect Public Safety. Then He Fired Hundreds of Workers Who Help Fight Wildfires. The White House and DOGE have sought to eliminate thousands of jobs from the Forest Service. The wildland firefighting force is one of many targets within the agency.

NEW: Trump said government cuts wouldn’t affect public safety. But staffing changes at the Forest Service have weakened an already strained firefighting force by hitting support staff who play crucial roles in preventing and battling blazes.

It’s too much to bear. Every time my card clicks green and I weave my way through the gauntlet of kettle you in fences only to go teach about speculative fiction it feels surreal

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.

This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

A Columbia Campus Occupation Could Have Ended Without Police, Report Says A university senate review concludes that some demonstrators who occupied Hamilton Hall were willing to leave voluntarily.

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Boosting: if you use a public library in the US and use Libby, Hoopla, or interlibrary loan, or have family and friends who do- that funding may be gone as IMLS is dismantled by DOGE. 🗃️

Are you listening? It’s the least you can do.
Powerful, substantive, passionate. A clarion call to stand.
