My hottest take is that fewer people should go to college, that education is not meant to feed the economy, and that humanities and arts degrees are incredibly valuable.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

Good god, there are people on the left who really think this way? Nice to know this person’s abstract ideals are more important than human lives. We’re doomed.

“Expressions of love have not generally resulted in stable or secure funding for libraries. This means that public expressions of library love are implied reminders of the distance between people's affections, and dependable material support for libraries.” muse.jhu.edu/article/879128

Just did this. It takes two minutes. Meta purposely tries to make it confusing and time-consuming, but with the linked step-by-step, it's very easy. You've got until midnight, gang.

See, this is what happens when we allow dangerous woke ideology into our higher education, they come after Dr. Seuss and the books bound in human flesh.

Really feel like Hoopla should spend less time “rating” children’s books, and more time vetting Nazi books from their service. 📚

OMG! Everyone! I can now announce that I was one of the humble jurors for this year's Excellence in Graphic Literature Awards for Young Adult Fiction, along with some incredible people! It was such an honor (and holy crap, if reading 54 graphic novels sounds easy to you, think again). I LOVE COMICS!

Hey remember when Utah launched a carelessly thrown together form to report trans people in public spaces?

New snitch line is up, but requires a Utah IP address to submit. Would be a real shame if a bunch of people used VPNs to fill it with useless data again.
