One issue is that men who "respect women" and put women on a pedestal only mean that for the women currently on that pedestal. The precarious need to be above to not be below.

Well, we *were* going to show the Librarians documentary on campus next month, but the the department that was giving us the money to get the documentary has suddenly withdrawn the funds on the grounds that we'd be showing the documentary "too close to the election."

No one can say a word about the writing in the RESIDENT EVIL movie, unless they want to say it needs to be much worse to match the games. I've played like 8 of them if we don't count remakes and they're all incredibly stupid. The ~atmosphere~ is why I kept playing.

You don't have to say "from the river to the sea" to say "Free Palestine" and you don't have to say "Free Palestine" to say Israel is committing genocide on Gaza But if you just say the situation is bad, that's indistinguishable from being upset that you have to hear about upsetting things.

My frustration with the topic of behavior enforcement in public libraries is that I always feel caught in the middle between colleagues who want it to be 100% about accommodating patrons with struggles and colleagues who don't want those concerns to affect our response beyond tone.

Police ARE violent. So, sure, use them in situations where violence is the concern but they can't seem to help expanding it to "illegal activity" when their presence is more dangerous to patrons than someone taking drugs. And naming this "Operation Overdue?" Wtf www.10news.com/news/local-n...

Okay so one thing rubbing me wrong is that I -- as job requirements as a librarian -- put people in contact with the "carceral system" often. I don't buy that a social worker makes that worse for people than me telling them to do X and then turning enforcement over to officers if they don't comply.

Hypothetically, if I'm working for an American public library and I decide to put a queer item on the regular shelving right away -- instead of on the new materials display -- to reduce the chance someone complains about it, would that be censorship? Or fine since it's still in the collection?

Facts. Too often people imagine themselves in the situation with only one dimension of need. Chronic homelessness is usually because someone has eight needs, there's help for three factors, but two other needs prevent them from accessing even all of that.
