Six years ago I never would have suggested leaving a workplace where you aren’t wanted or respected. Today, I say run and don’t look back. Let those people work out their problems for themselves. You’re not their savior. Don’t give up your peace for a workplace.

What if the ancient idea of gossip as a peculiarly feminine sin was just a way to keep women from telling the stories of what happened to them & who they are?

The boss says you can’t discuss your salary for the same reason. It’s disruptive to a successful system of exploitation.

Ya’ll. If you work in a #library, be a team player regardless of your education. We are all working for the same purpose: to serve the community who uses the library. If you feel tasks are beneath you get out. You’re not a team player and your coworkers know it.

Over-diversification in Public Libraries is a major problem, we take on anything & everything in a desperate attempt to justify our own existence/worth BUT it’s damaging & exhausting especially to the frontline staff who are constantly forced to do more with less 🤷‍♀️

Hi Twitter —a useful term for you: "the glass escalator." The opposite of the glass ceiling; it describes the way that men (specifically white men) in majority - women fields get fast-tracked for promotions, raises, and other opportunities.

@teacher2library I feel this in my bones. So sorry. ❤️

Who created jobs? Rent? The concept of money? I would like to fight.

Hey, today I told my therapist that the adrenaline I’ve been relying on for the past 10 months or so has kinda... run out.

He said he’s been hearing that from like every other client this month, so if you’re feeling that too, you’re not alone.

Reminder that no one is functioning normally right now and it’s ok to extend some grace toward each other.🌸

@ItsMissJulia This thread is the best! 😭 Mine was a Watter’s dress...I think. Absolutely loved it.
