Academic librarians! How easy or difficult is it to redirect a portion of library and consortial budgets to small and values-driven publishers in order to provide them with more predictable, long-term funding? insights.uksg.org/articles/10....

Today in why your librarian is stressed: academic journals increase in cost about 5% every single year while our funding continues to, at best, stagnate. And that's just the things we already purchase, much less the new acquisitions our patrons need or want.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

We’re recapping some U18 lecturer bargaining highlights in support of a fair contract. ✊ weteachuc.org/bargaining-u... Kat Lewin spoke about the importance for Zoom bargaining to support transparency: “It’s important for our members to understand the contract if they’re going to ratify it.”

A bright blue graphic from UC-AFT Local 1474 featuring a large orange speech bubble with the following quote: "We know that power on your side of the table flows up to the Regents. Our power flows down from 5,300 people who will ratify the contract. It’s important for them to understand the contract if they’re going to ratify it."

The bottom of the image includes a yellow banner that reads: "UC-AFT Table Team Co-Chair Kat Lewin on the importance of Zoom bargaining at WeTeachUC.org." The background has the repeated phrase "BARGAINING HIGHLIGHTS" in a yellow outlined font.

The entire Puget Sound region is facing an ICE surge. ICE has been steadily ramping up ops since January but this weekend saw an unprecedented increase in the area. This is what iceout.org looks like for Sept. 19-21. Not a month or a week. Three days. Hundreds of sightings. Dozens of abductions.

Screenshot of iceout.org, filtered for 9/19/2026 – 9/21/2026: several green and yellow pins, and way too many red pins indicating an arrest. Pins are scattered all over the I-5 corridor from Marysvill all the way down to Olympia, with a few outliers.

Libraries tossing out weeded titles is not a travesty. 🧵 1. libraries MUST weed. We don't have magic shelves with unlimited space. 2. we do try to find alternatives to recycling. Book sales, free tables, and places like Better World Books get the majority of weeded titles. 1/3
