I'm having lots of feelings about these first day of school questions I use for my #Curiosity and critical practice course. I happened to have this pic from last spring's first day of class. I ask them to choose one question to respond to when they introduce themselves.

Thank you so much @ALA_ACRL for offering both a quiet work space and quiet lounge. It has made all the difference. I’ve been able to re-set and rest, tending to myself and my responsibilities, which makes it easier to give presenters my full attention #ACRL2023

The largest book ban in the nation is the book restriction policies in prisons and jails across the United States. https://t.co/1QTIwkWo5F

@Hornette @theheatherhogan Wintering is an amazing book! Also Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, and The End of Burnout by Jonathan Malesic. Both books have helped me see that burnout is not a problem with the individual.

@adam_shear @RSAorg So exciting! Congrats!

If your mentor is not training and inspiring you to be more free, they are not a mentor, they are merely a trusted overseer; or compliance management at best.

Run. Abscond. Get free.

@beastlibrarian Yes! Same here. We provide a lot of help to people who need info and images from books that are not digitized or ebooks!

@pgh2o Just learning about this now. We did not receive a robocall. Twitter should not be your primary means for communicating safety information
