@ryleywalker I mean, it was the Black Cat, after all.

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@danyomolloy That’s worth plenty, man.

@melnickjeffrey1 A joyously goofy anthem to just doing you and not worrying about what anyone else thinks, this one never fails to put a smile on my face as I face the day:

My article on the use of un/underpaid prison labour to support memory work is now out in The Library Quarterly! I argue that this type of labour is exploitative, and that those of us in the information profession need to recognize this. 1/3

@NoetheMatt Well that would be quite swell, if there are any still hanging around

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@vforrestal Full support for this strategy

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@vforrestal Fingers crossed I get a hold of an invite, thanks for helping bring folks together

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

i truly hope that these blows to the fragile diversity, access, inclusion frame encourage students, staff & faculty to organize for more transformational education, like open enrollment, free tuition, dropping standardized tests, community control mechanisms over private boards

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@niwandajones @megan_e_riley I think it was a success! Had some really great conversations with folks

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

Hey ALA! I’m presenting a poster that @megan_e_riley and I put together this afternoon from 1:30 to 3:00, come say hi!

@megan_e_riley I hope they take whatever cash isn’t collected over to that local late night business to get a little treat

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@megan_e_riley The “when they’re done” bit of the petty cash thing is just such a bleak cherry on that sadness sundae

@lydia_zv @davehudson123 Sadly we lost Real Life last year. And quite a loss. I’m very curious to learn what ya land on as a venue though. Baffler and Boston Review are some of my go-tos for non-academic long reads though.

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@tttkay @marika_louise @UCLAiS Jeanie Austin! They’re great. They also administer a reference-by-mail internship (which I was l lucky enough to participate in) for any of your students that might want to get more involved.

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@crit_pedagogy It was such an honor to participate, thank you for creating the space!

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

@davehudson123 Thank you for being there! And the great questions and commentary.

[Jeremy Abbott (jkabbott.bsky.social) @librarianjer]

Very excited for this!! And come check out me and lawrence maminta discussing the library as carceral geography tomorrow: https://t.co/zbkgzyxTiH #CPS2023

@megan_e_riley easily my favorite boggle word

[Noah Lenstra @NoahLenstra]

Public librarians really want their spaces to be welcoming and accessible to all, but unfortunately that does not always mean attention to the transportation options available to get to/from libraries. I’m working on a safe routes to libraries action framework. Join me!
