Hateful people wanted to stop a #library from hosting a Rainbow Storytime, but #librarian @monibarre.bsky.social stood her ground 📚

Hey look what arrived - a fabulous new book by the one and only @monibarre.bsky.social! Enhance Your Library, Enhance Your Well-Being: How to Fight Burnout and Reclaim Library Joy, available now from Bloomsbury (And skip that weird Matthew Noe guy's foreword 🥸) www.bloomsbury.com/us/enhance-y...

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

My parents, right wing nut jobs who moved to bumfuq to become right wing nuttier, recently paid to have our entire family history scrubbed. No trace of our beautiful Mexican heritage, anywhere. Well, almost anywhere. I fixed it, for the family. Don’t mess with librarians.

You can’t support the current administration and truly value libraries.

This is the take

The most overlooked opportunity in comics is the ALA Annual artist alley. They give FREE tables and admission to cartoonists in exchange for a piece of art for a charity auction. If you make books that end up in libraries, that is the room you want to be in, and you can do it at no cost.

Today marks 1 month until my book comes out. If you’re a library worker looking to plan killer programs while supporting your own mental health and professional growth, this book is for you! Thanks to the super librarians who contributed their stories. www.bloomsbury.com/us/enhance-y...

That person didn’t leave your life because you’re unlovable. They’re gone because they didn’t want to respect the boundaries you finally put in place.

This was so fun, check it out!

As a former Eisner judge and first time comics writer, I have big thoughts about this whole AI situation. Mostly they are: Fuck AI, I’m gutted for the other contributors, and it’s beyond annoying that the establishment didn’t have language in place before this.

As a former Eisner judge…not surprised 😬

Today I joined the ranks of comic book writers. Small story but for a great cause. So cool to see it come together! Check out On the Nose from the new Horror Not Hate anthology!

Look, if you are a librarian who wants to use AI in your library, I would kindly ask you to go find another profession. Because it's clear to the rest us you don't actually care about the Bill of Rights or Code of Ethics. Go work for a tech company or something. 13/

I was given the “opportunity” to sign licensing rights for AI distribution of my upcoming book. All I have to do is sign the contract, no need to read the fine print, and AI can have it for free as opposed to stealing out outright! 🤪

This year's National Library Week theme is "Find Your Joy," & we want to support library pros in finding their joy. Here's our Virtual Panel on "Uniting Schools, Libraries, & Indie Comics" @docteeroh.bsky.social @professorlatinx.bsky.social @henrybarajas.bsky.social @monibarre.bsky.social

Calling ALA, attention, ALA. The American Library Association is supposed to represent Canada too, and they should be making a huge stink about this.

I would always rather be out trying to talk with ghosts. 👻

If you’re a creator (writer, illustrator, etc.) and your publisher/reps don’t give you all the options for distribution of your title(s), they are either behind the times or downright gatekeeping. Either way, it’s a disservice to you.
