Oof #LibraryTwitter . I’m seeing white librarians here and on other platforms sharing that their workplaces are safe and welcoming for minority groups and while *you* may think that, it’s not your declaration to make.

There has been an increase in the number of things I'm NEVER going to do again.

@jeunelis Jesus saves but my lawyer will make you pay!

[Mahasin Ameen @fivefootsmall]

To the white man who barely stopped at the light I was crossing who said my flipping him off wasn’t very Christian - Jesus wouldn’t have been indignant.

It’s really interesting how people who demonstrate such selfishness scream the loudest about religion.

@Tuphlos Did you instruct your brain to start back at one?

[Mahasin Ameen @fivefootsmall]

@SoulCitySigma I still went to a school board meeting to protest the removal of the only librarian on our library board.

[Mahasin Ameen @fivefootsmall]

@SoulCitySigma But I make really good spreadsheets okay!

@muellerspace @kelseybogan Are you having problems swallowing? If so to the emergency dentist

[Mahasin Ameen @fivefootsmall]

If a board president has to constantly check with legal to make sure they’re following Robert’s Rules a waste of taxpayer dollars.

An 800+ page book is a lot to read but at ~$15 on Amazon is cheaper than consulting a lawyer to tell you what to do if something passed in committee

@catladylib YES! I every now and then I get emails from people I worked with ages ago asking for reference help. The best.

I was once given a Dr. Pepper instead of the root beer I ordered. It ruined Dr. Pepper for me forever.

@TashaCMN Snack but also PhD.

What program are you looking out?

Asking for a friend who also might need a snack

Sometimes I worry that I'm at work for comic value - then I put in the chat that much like me, my internet is unstable.

And that is why you should give me promotion and tenure.

It's funny what sets off grief. I was looking for a document in my Google Drive and I saw a shared document from 2014. Lauren asked me for suggestions on the essay she wrote when applying to library school. I cannot explain the hole that exists in my life where she was.

@SoulCitySigma Instead of my brother in Christ you are now my brother in weird.
