Today we celebrate the life and work of the amazing Audre Lorde (February 18, 1934-November 17, 1992), who transitioned on this day, 30 years ago. As a radical Black lesbian woman, her words continue to be an inspiration for Black feminist and queer survival to this day.

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

Pedagogy questions are inseparable from labor conditions questions.

Teaching philosophies are inseparable from labor politics.

Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions.

Addressing pedagogy without addressing labor is, in the big picture, useless.

I just taught a first-year student how to use a book index and talked through some tools for efficiently reading an academic book. Information literacy is critical and hoping that students have these habits of mind and skills before your class will not make it true... #infolit

The biggest challenges we face...are not simple. We must pause, contextualize, and appreciate the humanities process. #MUSEmeets2002

[Project MUSE @ProjectMUSE]

Keynote speaker @kawulf Karin Wulf makes the case for the humanities: "Humanity needs the humanities." #MUSEmeets2022

Also, for the record, we should really make it free.

Let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so every family can afford it.

"Positioning information literacy instruction as the ‘solution’ for misinformation harks back to outdated cognitive information processing models wherein people are positioned as rational and emotion-free decision-makers..."

Our latest blog post is from our LIS Schools rep @alisonhicks0: Why do we associate information literacy with fake news? https://t.co/QbO1Wpqf6k

[AjFN @ajfnolte]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Also, why working with faculty in assignment development will always elicit more change than trying to fit meaningful IL in after the fact.

"This privileging of simplicity and efficiency implies that if your search doesn’t lead to satisfying results quickly, you must be doing it wrong. In reality, authentic and open-ended research is messy and complex."

In my writing these days, I'm shifting my language to describe "students" as "learners." I don't know why I haven't made this shift in my language sooner. Naming learners for what they are centers what's most important in instruction: learning, not institutionally defined roles.

[AjFN @ajfnolte]

F*cking amen.

"It’s excruciatingly painful to be passionate about your work and keep trying to make things better and never be heard."

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The holidays shouldn’t be a time to recharge. They should be a time to celebrate.

If work is exhausting people to the point that they’re using their time off to recover, you might have a burnout culture.

A healthy organization doesn’t leave people drained in the first place.

[University of Virginia Library @UVALibrary]

Journal subscription fees at the Library have exploded in recent years. How much does all of this cost? (And what does any of this have to do with the price of milk?)

[AjFN @ajfnolte]

I am so angry at database and library systems that require me to have a flipping caveat for everything I say to a student. It's almost as if we don't actually want folks to have access to information... #Equity #HigherEd #Access #DigitalDivide #InformationLiteracy

Not so gracefully falling into break. One more day. One more day. One more day.
