I’m a @RhodesCollege alumna against the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett for the SCOTUS. If nominated before the next election, she will exacerbate the free fall of democracy.

Article in @libraryleadpipe - "INTERSUBJECTIVITY AND GHOSTLY LIBRARY LABOR" by Liz Settoducato

[brannen varner @BrannenVarner]

"...it stands to reason that library workers are ghosts. Since ghosts have considerable power and ubiquity, this frees us to rethink our position in and beyond the neoliberal library and linear time." https://t.co/3sxUXnOFC5

[brannen varner @BrannenVarner]

"Library workers at all levels, but especially those who have institutional power, must care for one another and prioritize community wellbeing. Individual actions will not solve structural problems, but they can improve people’s immediate material conditions..."

[brannen varner @BrannenVarner]

"As our patrons move through scenes and illusions that took years of labor to build and maintain, we workers are hidden, erasing ourselves in the hopes of providing a seamless user experience, in the hopes that these patrons will help defend libraries when the time comes."
