The discovery that when I want a book with a "strong" message about race or any of the isms and the hold is too long--all I need to do is switch to a library system in the burbs...There is literally and always no wait. It's just such a mixed blessing...really sad in a way...

The outcome of the Diddy trial has left hip hop fans with a palpable sense of disappointment. Co-founder @freeblackgirl.bsky.social writes about the possibility of sex work decriminalization and its intersections with high-profile sexual abuse cases. theflytrap.beehiiv.com/p/if-we-valu...

"I feel heartbroken. Not just because I lost a job — but because I lost it for doing what librarians are supposed to do: create a space for everyone. I stood by our mission. I followed policy. I led with love." -- Lavonnia Moore, librarian with 15 years experience Defend #FreedomtoRead ⬇️

Lavonnia Moore, the librarian fired for including one of my books on a display after a child requested it, sounds incredible and what happened to her should be a crime. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/07/05/l...

"Alternative concepts of time that have emerged within the environmental humanities challenge the prevailing ethos that archives exist to preserve the past for humans of the future. When we consider those humans in the context of the climate crisis, we are faced with blunt uncertainty."
