I don't know what the effects will be of a lot of people outsourcing as much executive function as they can to their phone but my guess is "not great"

I ran for ALA President. I didn’t win. I lost—and I’m proud. I did it my way, with an incredible team, and a campaign was joyful, substantive, and unapologetically high femme. No regrets! I hope you’ll run too! I hope you win. Holler if you want to chat. Blog + playlist: tinyurl.com/3tpvr8x3

Most of the towns in the part of South Texas where I live—the Río Grande Valley—are partly underwater as we live through some of the heaviest rain in more than a century, breaking records going back to 1911. No one was ready. With government weather alerts being dismantled, the cost will be high.

Everyone doing this work for any period of time knew this was coming. It's no longer "I'll do it some day," as so many thought to themselves when we threw warnings out in 2020, then 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. NOW is beyond time for doing something to protect your libraries.

Funding for organizations like NEH and IMLS is such a ridiculously measly pittance, it’s of course absurd to claim that eliminating their activities is “efficient.” We know that. On the contrary, they’re *so* efficient and effective that they represent a threat to their project.

I wouldn't be a librarian today without student loans. Next to no one from my economic class, from my generation would be. I wouldn't have taken those loans without the promise of forgiveness for nonprofit work. The agreement I signed, that I'm bound to as a loanee, should bind the loaner, too.

More than I care about who you vote for in the upcoming @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social election, I care about the future of ALA as a means to ensure library workers are appropriately respected and compensated. Wrote a piece about it for Katina Magazine. Show up for ALA to show up for library workers.
