Thank you to @CBSMornings for the piece on IUDs, and for SHOWING the medical instruments used in insertion. We need more transparency and information when it comes to women’s health, and less Civil War era tools.

Police are responding to a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Our children should be able to go to school without being met with gun violence.

After he read Zeitoun, I told my son to watch When the Levees Broke for more context. He texted me as soon as he caught sight of @WendellPierce. Can’t wait to blow his mind in another year or two.

17 states are considering laws to imprison Library Staff.

Librarians deal with unthinkable madness and the most bizarre situations, but dealing with eclipse glasses seems to be their most traumatic experience

The library can print all the tax forms you need, but you need to know what tax forms you need.
We didn't double major in accounting and printing.

Neil Young, walking through the park one day, is stopped by a fan and asked how he plays Cinnamon Girl. Neil sits down, drops the tuning, shows him how, and strolls off to continue his day.

Coolness personified.

@bethanybee626 @metroadlib It’s called the Scent Library. I love all of them, even their rose scent which I don’t typically like

@metroadlib Bought a Penhaligon sampler on your recommendation and I say a little thank you every morning when I give a little spritz spritz

Who else remembers being against the iraq war and people being like oh wow so you dont SUPPORT OUR TROOPS?!?! And then having the most dumb conversation about being anti american when you were just anti killing innocent people. Anyway this feels like that.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Powerful, brave, and moving. This is leadership. Thank you, @RepGolden.

Our community stands with yours throughout this tragedy and in the work ahead.

Three cheers to this Idaho library director who responded with grace, tact, and useful information to concerns from a patron about certain library materials. 👏👏👏

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

As a society, we have normalized exploitation to such a degree that its mistaken for charity.

In Iowa, we are banning "Ulysses," "The Catcher in the Rye," and "The Color Purple." Honestly, if you are a kid and turning to Ulysses for titillation when the internet is everywhere, we should be giving you a medal and a full-ride scholarship to the Iowa Writers' Workshop

“But in Florida…most people who died from Covid died after vaccines became available to all adults, not before. As the governor’s political positions began to shift, so did his state’s death rate, for the worse.” https://t.co/dWLLqDu0bd

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

1) Thread for today: I am not going to opine on the Supreme Court's ruling except to tell a story about a late and valued friend. The story will suffice for the sum of my thoughts about affirmative action.

I was working at the student newspaper at the University of Maryland...
