I'm thinking of changing my Outlook font--worried it might be jarring for people. Will keep considering.

how everyday feels

[Argon Dreamcast Evangelion @synthandlasers]

People: "I want 2020 to be like the roarin' twenties!"

Earth: "Alright, infectious disease is spreading."

People: "No, not like that."

Earth: "The US stock market is tanking."

People: "Wait..."

Earth: "LMAO Bars can't be open anymore."

As human beings and Americans we have to stop this. The trauma we are inflicting on children and their families--who have likely already been traumatized fleeing their home--is unbelievably cruel and unnecessary. How do we stop this?

"A 2-year-old boy locked in detention wants to be held all the time. A few girls, ages 10 to 15, say they’ve been doing their best to feed and soothe the clingy toddler who was handed to them by a guard days ago." https://t.co/u2m8VUIsA1

@PerriKlass Just read your article. What are your thoughts on screens in schools that teach kids to read, a la Lexia? I was concerned to see these being used in our local public schools but am unfamiliar with research that supports their use. https://t.co/K3tJxmLFhs

I have been beaten, my skull fractured, and arrested more than forty times so that each and every person has the right to register and vote. Friends of my gave their lives. Do your part. Get out there and vote like you’ve never voted before. #vote #goodtrouble

Madison is so great that it’s impossible to buy your first home here. Sales are going 20% over list w/ scant inventory. Hope @UW-Madison addresses this issue for grads & employees! https://t.co/pk2vO7vTTj

There’s no place like the isthmus. If you’re a new college grad, #MadisonWI is the #1 city to live in, per @MarketWatch. #OnWisconsin https://t.co/DDZILJqvy8

Thanks @sianniekins for a great session on #critlib and library instruction with our
art library @UWMadiSchool students. To echo many a professor from my own instruction sessions, "I learned something!"

Some of these kiddos used conference childcare last year—growing up with #ARLISNA2018

[Anna Simon @annajsimon]

You guys, conference childcare! No one does this, but #ARLISNA2018 is! Hope other conferences can emulate this. Ask me!

[Anna Simon @annajsimon]

@archivalgold Especially important when we’re framing convo for faculty!!

[Anna Simon @annajsimon]

Great points about pruning a collection to keep it fresh and vibrant—and able to fit in the library—@ Big Changes in Print Collections. #ARLISNA2018

[Anna Simon @annajsimon]

While amazing presentations are happening downstairs, upstairs something else is occurring—conference childcare! These babes are being looked after while their parents partake @ARLISNA2018!

Thank you to @ARLIS_NA for supporting conference childcare @arlisna2018! Fortunate to be balancing baby + career with Society support. #worklifebalance

My @Medela_US bottle caps keep breaking and my pumped milk leaks! Why is this happening? I've bought replacements and problem persists. Super disappointed. And yes I hand wash. #pumpingsucks

[Anna Simon @annajsimon]

Who is the FCC anyway and why do they get to decide this? Does anyone except big business want to repeal #NetNeutrality? 100% of my informal survey says no.
