Wow. Right now in Scotland:

Crowds are marching through the streets of Glasgow chanting: “Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here!”

As part of a protest against Boris Johnson.

Anyone know the gender-neutral bathroom situation at #ALAAC19? I’m wandering the halls and only seeing ladies and gents. #ALA2019

This is just to say

I have said no
To the thing
You wanted me
To do for free

and which
you were probably
hoping
I’d think was an opportunity

Forgive me
I am too busy
And it is
Not a good use of my time

HISTORIC!

The #EqualityAct just passed the House Judiciary Committee; this piece of legislation’s first vote!

Now, the bill will move onto a vote in the full house.

Call your representatives to urge them to support LGBTQ equality.

What possibilities might we be ignoring when we unquestioningly privilege sight as the primary pathway to knowledge about the natural world? https://t.co/zt8fnOG20j

It’s a sad day. We just lost one of the greatest science fiction authors ever. If you haven’t read Free Live Free, then my advice is to go do this right now. https://t.co/JVvG5Zi3JG

@violetbfox That book gave my kids nightmares. I had to hide it. Not get rid of it, of course ... because it’s amazing 😁

@EamonTewell @ibeilin I love this. Always looking for ideas, so thanks! At my last IL session I put up an old photo of a librarian and asked them what came to mind when they thought about the question “what does a librarian do?” Then I told them what I actually do. It was a good conversation

@BookElfLeeds @ARLGYH And I’ll try to get it for my library’s professional development shelf as well @tctclearning

[Kit Rashid @RashidKit]

@BookElfLeeds @ARLGYH Thanks so much for sharing this. Working on a conference presentation and this is going right on my to-read list

[Kit Rashid @RashidKit]

Another step along my journey to figure out who I am and share it with the world. Many thanks to the good people at #bethechange828 for offering this tattoo fundraiser for #Tranzmission and for making me feel welcomed #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV
