Where My Boys At? - I’ve been known to *occasionally* bellyache about the dearth of male librarians.  Okay, by “occasionally” I mean “fairly often.” I’d sum up the reactions I get as being like… Someone suggested I write something up about it. So... https://t.co/BAFBscQbyV

Why Don’t Men Read Romance - This article is a lot better than the title would indicate, speaking also about why women don’t read WWII books and the like. As a “men” of sorts, I feel uniquely qualified to talk about why I don’t read romances.... https://t.co/Opsh4lr64J

The Macmillan Beef - This is some deep library nerd-ery, so get ready.  Macmillan, one of the Big 5 publishers (along with Penguin Random House, Harper, uh…Vance Refrigeration? Whatever) made an announcement that they’re changing the way that... https://t.co/AGgms6dB1x

@BibliosaurusRex okay, cool. I must've missed something where they talked war rhino stuff. I swear I'm not trying to be difficult. I just got to that moment and was like, "Uh-oh, a thing happened and I'm missing some pieces here." Thanks!

Real Black Panther Question (It's very likely I missed something) : Why did that war rhino stop when that lady stood in front of it?

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Justin Ponsor, an incredible comics colorist, one of the best I’ve ever worked with. RIP.
