Hi Twitter. I’m a YA fantasy fiction author looking for agent representation on my first novel. Looking for an #agent looking for #lgbt representation in #yafiction #fantasy. Do people do hashtags anymore?

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

I want to say that we keep us safe. The question I have is: what does that look like when the threat is of a bomb? I'm not sure what we would do about that. But the government doesn't seem to have our backs either.

Insane given that *we are also a government agency*

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

It's truly terrifying that we are at the place where the ALA is writing an open letter to the FBI pleading for assistance protecting libraries from right wing terrorists. It feels like every day another library is targeted with threats and forced to close. I feel genuinely afraid

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

One unarmed guard will be asked to protect each library from constant terrorism that the FBI refuses to investigate. The US government is an evil surveillance state and they won't even use it to investigate threats of bombings and shootings across the country all at libraries.

what other professions besides library workers just get random people giving you free face masks as a token of appreciation

this transfer means today is my last evening shift for a while. So excited to have a consistent sleep schedule again.

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

sometimes a lateral transfer feels like a promotion. I'm gonna be the biggest gay librarian in the city

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

shockingly satisfying to spend twenty minutes helping an old man uninstall a thousand ""cleaner"" and ""booster"" apps from his phone and watching it become fast and smooth and usable again.

All I want in live is to do big loud controversial high profile things but receive no public attention to myself personally about it

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

sometimes feeling like the roof is on fire and caving in

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

Anyway shoutouts to the hackernews commentator who said I was barking up the wrong tree last year and the real solution to email account lockouts is balkanizing the united states government into several smaller countries. Normal solution to tech UX

I hate like, publicly defending Google, but man do I hate being misinterpreted out of context and having people spam my inbox over something from over a year ago

[Free Library of Philadelphia @FreeLibrary]

Are you passionate about serving diverse populations in an urban public library setting? Are you ready for all that Philadelphia has to offer? If so, please consider this community-focused Librarian position: https://t.co/fc8v34fD3o

[📚🐚High-Octane Reference Librarian @LibraryShellf]

you know, like we use in public libraries

I think he should have to use a 25-year-old dell laptop hooked up to a project against a wall with desktop speakers plugged in whose power cable is probably a fire hazard.
