It was bad in 2022, when medical issues exacerbated by the hostility at work made me leave. It’s worse all the time. Show up for your local libraries. Get involved with the boards. Shout down the bigots. Demand protection for the freedom to read and for librarians doing their jobs.

Im so jealous right now lol. Doing activities like this also builds community. Its a really fun way to get people engaging and connecting with each other outside of protests and mass grievance. Collective joy goes a long way to sustaining a movement

Road closure in #Carrboro on Main Street from Fleet Feet down past Crooks Corner due to structure fire. @chtransit.bsky.social is determining re-routing. Best to walk down Rosemary towards campus.

Did a talk w/ @nyu Furman Center on equitable data sharing for our @rwjf.bsky.social project on structural racism & housing. A participant shared "I'm a social worker, and I LOVE that y'all considered those power dynamics and were so thoughtful in your approach. My social worker heart is GLOWING!" 🙏🏼

I’m sorry you’re having one of those days. I know the feeling. Take a moment and think of a person you’d give anything to protect. That person, those people, are your point. Today, take care of yourself for them. Love yourself so you can love them. One day, and then another day, and then—

Disappointed to see our new public restrooms in the @chapelhill.bsky.social parking deck locked up tight on a busy Friday night at 8 PM. Thought these were supposed to support our community. 🚽🥹

Photo of the inside of the public restroom on a day it was actually opened.

Photo of the outside of the parking deck, public restrooms on a day they actually weren’t locked up.

Another view of the interior of the parking deck, public restrooms when they were accessible.
