I was looking at ypow, and like my former affiliated institution, it's wild how white global studies is. It's embarrassing.

Bring back the term "Box office poison" to describe the actors who agreed to remake HP -- don't go to their other movies, either. Make selling out a bad investment.

Current procrastination rabbit hole: looking up Ivy League global/area studies library subject experts to see how many white people support Africana, Asian Studies, and Latin American Studies depts. It's a LOT. The librarians themselves aren't necessarily to blame. It's a libn demographics prob?

Zine Fests are usually volunteer run. That is the case for @chicagozinefest.bsky.social so if you do go on Saturday and you see one of the organizers and volunteers, take the time to thank them for all of their work and labor.

"Although invested leadership is important to adopting a trauma-informed approach, no library administrator can take this on or move this forward by themselves. In my experience the library administrator really needed to get out of the way of the staff who wanted to do this work.

Tag yourself! I'm (or rather was before I fled due to trauma) * inadequate staffing * poor leadership * boards * hostility from [senior] staff Trauma-Informed Librarianship: Guidance for Libraries with and Without Social Workers by Elizabeth Wahler 📚
screenshot of this text:

Patrons are not the only cause of stress and trauma for library staff, and a number of workplace factors also contribute to or worsen their traumatic experiences. These factors include inadequate staffing due to funding limitations, poor leadership from individuals unprepared for or unsupported in their roles, boards or other decision-makers that circumvent decisions made to improve the library due to inadequate understanding or appreciation of library staff’s experiences, lack of control over or inadequate resources to do one’s job, and/or unaddressed bullying, discrimination, and/or hostility from 
other staff or supervisors.

Wanting there to be a record in

I reported the doxing to the
university police.**
** In the process, I got to experience
what any other victim/survivor would face
reporting a crime to university police.
[this part highlighted] Upon entering the university police
department’s brand new building, you are
confronted with a mirrored window. You are
observed by unknown people and you can see
only yourself reflected back. A voice
rings out from the ether: “what are you
here for?” You are expected to tell the
mirrored window what happened to you. [end highlighting] Only
then will a human possibly come out and
speak with you.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

After I leave my job on June 30, my library will be down 6/14.5 librarians & archivists. They will not fill my position for a year, & there's another position in the same boat. My colleagues will be forced to cut offerings, which will lead to a lesser performance, which will lead to 4-mo-old draft

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Physical library classification is anti-intersectional. I don't know what to do about that other than shelve in one big author A to Z (which is what I did with the Barnard Zine Library kind of my accident). Everything anyone writes is ultimately about themselves anyway.
