.@PeteButtigieg: If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man. The substance actually matters

@emilynussbaum Hot take!

@Morgan_J_Talty It has always struck me as weirdly perfomative. Unless the organization doing it is also actually *doing* something—some kind of tangible support for native people / communities.

@pronounced_ing @TheBookMaven Oooh...I will check it out.

[Jane Roper @janeroper]

@thedigitalyenta Yes. In part because my father died at the beginning of it (3/9/2020) and I still don't think I've fully processed *that* because it came in the midst of everything else...

@_PNW_Native_ @coyote_rabbit Yep! If you check out her TedX talk or read some of her work, she explains why she chooses to still make her living that way.

[Jane Roper @janeroper]

@_PNW_Native_ @coyote_rabbit She has a degree from Williams College (consistently ranked the #1 college in the country), is the author of two books and numerous published essays and articles, and is a musician, actor and parent.

@MichaelJElston @Unclegary9 Wait! Can we talk more about how Biden is old?

@AskAManager @amypoeppel I'm happy to share that after I reached out to the library that @amypoeppel is referring to, they sincerely and graciously apologized, removed the post, and got rid of the display. I just hope other libraries will reconsider using the anti-staff picks gimmick.

[Amy Poeppel @amypoeppel]

I love libraries and I love librarians! Always have, always will. HOWEVER, here’s a thread on how I got my heart squashed by one particular library in Massachusetts yesterday.

[Jane Roper @janeroper]

@MaximumMary @AskAManager @amypoeppel Authors have to swallow a lot of negativity on Goodreads, Amazon, etc. It comes with the territory. But to see it at the libraries we love, who we count on to help us reach new readers, it really stings. There are less mean-spirited ways to do a display that makes the same point

@amypoeppel @CandiRiskActual @WinnieCooper81 😘

[Jane Roper @janeroper]

@rachel_fw Yep! Or if you were *really* lucky, your parents got you your own phone line. Also, we would write each other notes on notebook paper at school and fold them up into little triangles and shove them into each other's lockers. :-)

@amypoeppel It's a terrible idea. It would be one thing if it was "Popular books our librarians disagreed about -- what do YOU think?" But that's not what this is. Really just mean and damaging, especially for lesser known authors.
