Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I’ve read the transcript of Trump’s speech. Two things: 1. I read transcripts rather than listen because I’m hearing impaired and 2. I can’t stand to hear that man speak. Anyway, the speech starts off with how terrible everything was two years ago. His usual rhetoric, open borders, crime, economic 121

Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I stayed up late last night and read the transcripts of Trump’s July 3rd and July 4th speeches so you don’t have to. And can I say how much I miss President Obama’s eloquence! He begins both speeches by claiming America is the oldest republic on earth (July 3rd), the greatest nation on earth 3102

Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 24/05/2025The general public: you must read a lot of literary fiction since you’re a librarian Me: would you like to see my collection of smutty books filled with vampires, witches, faeries, dragons or demons? 040
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Dr. Hayden is also the first Librarian of Congress to have a graduate degree in library science. She holds an MA and PhD. The “next guy” is most likely going to be another unqualified white guy. Trump once again demonstrates how scared he is of intelligent Black women. apnews.com/article/dona...apnews.comPresident Trump fires Librarian of Congress Carla HaydenPresident Donald Trump has fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden as the White House continues to purge the federal government of those perceived to oppose the Republican president and his agenda. 061
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 07/05/2025I know this has been talked about many times before but I’ll keep asking until insurance companies come up with a justifiable reason why ears, eyes, and teeth are covered differently. Currently dealing with hearing aids issues. 021
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 17/04/2025What do books and Harvard University have in common? They both have a spine. I’ll see myself out. 😂 130

Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Librarian thoughts: Library records are confidential. We don’t tell anyone what books you have checked out. Apparently we have more security than the Secretary of Defense. 🤦♀️ 010
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Librarian thoughts: libraries pay Overdrive, Hoopla, Kanopy and other streaming services so that you can check out ebooks, e-audiobooks, e-magazines, and stream music, tv shows, and movies for free. LibGen is theft. Support your local library and support authors. 010
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I’ve heard reports that DOGE raided the Institute for Museum and Library Services this morning. There’s been no reports on it since the shuttering of the Department of Education is dominating the news. 110
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Librarian thoughts: libraries are nonpartisan. That doesn’t mean they aren’t political. Books are political. Who we serve is political. How we serve is political. Librarians are targets of political attacks. Yet we will continue to fight for everyone’s right to read, view, and use our resources. 010

Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 03/02/2025For Day 2 of Black History Month I have one book recommendation. There is also a kid’s version. How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. I chose this book in particular because of the dismantling of DEI programs. 020

Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 19/01/2025The entire TikTok ban saga was a bunch of political bs. It was never about national security. 010

Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I am still so angry at other white women. We could have had bodily autonomy, equal rights, maternal healthcare, paid family leave. Instead they voted for a rapist who appointed a pedophile as attorney general. 000
Jen Eckhardt @msshelved.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I’m in the wrong multiverse. Kamala lost. Mike Tyson lost. That’s just too damn depressing. 000
