So, so relieved to learn this. I was included in 1C vaccine distribution already for being fat (✨excited it finally got me some sort of advantage✨) but I was super worried about my coworkers. This isn’t the only thing we need, but it’s a big deal.

[AFSCME Local 3425 @LFPLUnion]

It was just confirmed by Metro HR and the library director that library workers in Louisville will now be included in phase 1C of the vaccine distribution.

We need your help. Our workers have been underpaid for years, and we’re well beyond a breaking point.

Absolutely disgusting local retaliation against unionizing workers.

Haven’t delved into the details of this yet but my initial concern is that I’m hearing a whole lot about funding for buildings but not anything about extra staffing positions to run those buildings. Middletown is still running with abbreviated hours because of lack of staffing.

Millions of dollars in funding to go to libraries in proposed Metro budget https://t.co/GGOlkYMYtD

It is just so strange to have covid and watch all these regulations go away because the pandemic is over

[Ashley Nichole Sims ✊ @ANicholeSims]

@lumpensecretary @Persephiroth @nesterists Yep, and all Hillary had to say about it is to talk about how impressed she was that all these murderers and thugs could be good workers 🙃

@kyclasswarrior In 2016, which feels like ages ago now. But management still regularly misgenders our non-binary workers sooo

[Ashley Nichole Sims ✊ @ANicholeSims]

@kyclasswarrior Yeah if I were asked on this poll I would probably identify as independent even though during the Obama years I would have identified as democrat. Though depending on the asker I will still call myself Democrat depending on what they mean.

The view from inside my car at 3pm when I went out to eat lunch (I’m expected to stay until 7pm tonight).

2:11pm, OMB has shut down courier service, KY state offices are closing, the weather service has issued a winter storm warning, and the library is still taking computer and curbside appointments on apparently regular hours.

At 9:37am, the LouVax site announced it would be closing “in order to protect the safety of volunteers, clients and staff.” It is 1:34pm and library staff have only been told to expect to be open.

@ildikosabo @f_osoba Do you have a link? I haven’t seen that

[Eleanor Klibanoff @eklib]

Demands for access to the FOP contract negotiations, defunding the police, more transparency, more answers

We’ve been having these meetings for ten years, you keep asking us for answers, nothing gets fixed, says one attendee.

[Eleanor Klibanoff @eklib]

I’m at a community meeting between the new @LMPD police chief, the Office of Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods and faith leaders. The Mayor is also here.

And it’s gotten...hot. A lot of yelling, a lot of anger, someone got kicked out. @WFPLNews

@f_osoba I went for just digital—I’m hoping to round out my skills a bit.
