A a health literacy focused #medlib, the news about MedlinePlus AND outreach is devastating. BUT the mention of cuts to NCBI within that 40% reduction should chill everyone who does biomedical research. They maintain PubMed as well as Entrez, gene, protein, nucleotide, BLAST, PubChem...

Wtf C&RL? Caving to publishing "diverse viewpoints" thinly masked and badly argued as cognitive freedom - they don't even use 'intellectual' since their standpoint is clearly NOT based on best evidence... or any. 1/

The fact that they are trying so hard to defund libraries, science and education means they know how powerful we are. It doesn't make the reality of our times better, but remember that you are a badass who billionaires and politicians fear. #librarians #highered #education #science

Life as a librarian means deriving joy from small, silly things. + I scheduled a meeting where the title was all acronyms and it described it accurately + I suggested our regional conference theme should start with "Dam it" since it's taking place in Las Vegas.

I never expected to retire and/or have social security benefits, but the 17.5% of my income my job forces me to invest in a 401k instead of providing a pension is making me verrrrrry upset as I watch the economy get completely destroyed. I've never trusted the concept of 401k anyway.

Higher Ed institutions, especially public ones who rely on diverse student populations, have nothing to gain from complying with fascists. They hate educated citizenry no matter the color or sex. Your institutions will fail anyway, so why be oppressors in the interim? #HigherEd #DEI #Diversity

Pretty funny that in 2006 people said libraries and librarians were obsolete because of search engines and now the internet is nothing but AI that will tell you glue is a food group
