BCCLA has been alerted by SFU students about police violence against Black alumni, Kayode Fatoba. Kayode was profiled by security, carded & targeted by police, then pepper sprayed & tasered. We join in outrage & condemn this disturbing & horrific violence.

I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes:

At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking

I was one of five Black librarians to draft an editorial on anti-Blackness in libraries for JMLA. Due to our experience with the editing process, we decided to withdraw the article before it was published. Here's my take on what happened: https://t.co/tRAXeak1zy #medlibs

I wrote about the Proud Boy librarian and the ~shock~ that everyone (aka white library workers) have been demonstrating. https://t.co/uUcFdlbyQV

The Whole Foods #poppy ban is a corollary of their decision to ban workers from wearing Black Lives Matter masks this summer. And, I know, you'll say the poppy is just a sign of respect but a BLM mask is "political," and I'm here to tell you that's how white supremacy works.

Excited to share our paper analyzing the prevalence of precarity in two years of library job postings!

So grateful to be doing this work (for almost 3 years now!) with amazing collaborators @rhymewithzinger @AdenaTamsin @crystalyangyue ❤️

This has been quietly writing itself in my head for years. The anger of this summer forced it onto page. I almost gave into a debilitating anxiety and abandoned it. But giving into silence - again - felt even more crushing. Because it's true. https://t.co/UrO1kbd90Q

Refuse the white gaze. This story is about racist MP Alain Therrien. Name him!

Name that he voted against motion on racism in RCMP - which is matter of fact and historical record.

Name the racism that Singh, a visible Sikh, is being subjected to.

As another wave of white folks decide *now* things have gone too far, *now* I need to get involved, I thought I'd share what @4noura and I learned when we studied how attitudes & behaviors of white activists can cause burnout in antiracist activists of color. (1/thread)
