It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

tremors and jaws are both great movies, and Jaws probably succeeds more as a work of horror. but Tremors is actually perfect. an almost unique example of a film executed flawlessly in line with its vision.

people who don't know anything about children's literature sure love to have opinions about it.

Okay! I did just re-read that old article from the VV and LRC isn't mentioned in it, which is why the quote-tweet threw me. I brought it up as an example of cis women writing about trans men, not as an xyz bit of media about LRC.

Had a truly beautiful time in Norman, Oklahoma selecting the 2027 NSK Neustadt prizewinner Elizabeth Acevedo, and learning from the 2026 Neustadt prizewinner Ibrahim Nasrallah. One of the best experiences of my professional career thus far.

I think we underrate that JCO came up in 20th century New York literary circles where everyone said five most devastating insults before breakfast and as one of the last one standing, her competition is guys who get sad if their chatbot isn't sufficiently nice to them.

i actually don't find this moral panic of a story funny bc i can see exactly where it will go: —"intolerent lesbians harm the masculine raw dogging of air" —"controlling bitches" —"disability accomodations = oppression" —"why are transwomen allowed in lesbian bars but not unmasked cis women?"

I'm also afraid that I've been a little rude to my friends by telling them that a conversation with me cannot replace a masters degree in library science. I know they know that. But I can't think of a more tactful way of framing it.

It's both infuriating and heartbreaking that librarians are treated as unnecessary indulgences, and that librarianship is seen as a random task that anyone can do.

In the last month I've had two separate friends ask if I could chat with someone they know who was (with no education, experience, or training) suddenly put in charge of a school library, to give them advice about how to do that job. My response has been "insist that the school hire a librarian."

I spoke to three moms who lost all of the food in their fridge and freezer during the blackout in Gary Indiana. They all had their replacement SNAP benefits denied. Experts told me they are concerned about how the state is operating the program after the disaster. 19thnews.org/2026/09/gary...

Families lost weeks of food they couldn't afford to replace. Then their SNAP claims were denied.

As the city of Gary recovers from a devastating power outage, advocates say Indiana has a simple fix at its fingertips that could get parents the help they need.
