Eleanor Roosevelt's office in the White House East Wing, now demolished.
The Smithsonian museums, and their tunnel network, are right between the White House, and the Capitol building/Supreme Court/Library of Congress. Trump decided to conduct a review of the Smithsonian operation, the day after he took federal control of DC and deployed the NG……
I am so tired I just found myself thinking I should check my battery level and maybe plug myself in. Maybe I spend too much time on my phone? 🙄🤔🤣 #online
Unless your library is led by those with brain-rot and they limit access and throw out resources. Or the hours are limited due to budget cuts. 😞
As the university system collapses and millions succumb to tech-induced brain rot, the concept of the autodidact—a self-educated person who loves learning for its own sake—will become more important than ever. Read widely. Form study groups. Let the library be your college.
Under EPA head Lee Zeldin, the agency is rethinking asbestos bans, weakening mercury rules, and allowing delays in removing carcinogens from drinking water. EPA workers are rallying to support coworkers facing retaliation for signing a letter of dissent: labornotes.org/2025/07/enviro…
A complete stranger just commiserated with me about my past bad boss library story, and understood one of my biggest struggles there. Even almost 2 years later, that feels good, to be reminded it wasn’t just me and others understand. #badboss #librarylife
We're gonna find out, over the next three years, that all the agencies Elon Trump dismembered had really good reasons for being there. All. Of. Them. npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-…
Imagine a time traveler visiting John Roberts in like 1992 and telling him “You’re going to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and your legacy will be that you gave Donald Trump more power than any other American in history. Yes, that Donald Trump. He won’t have changed.”
Thanking my past self for getting that “backup” certification long ago and having the smarts and guts to use it a couple years ago to get out of a toxic library work situation. Life is finally better. #leavinglibraries #librarylife
You know how sometimes, you follow the weather & you know the blizzard is coming tomorrow morning, but today it's 39º & crystalline sunshine, & you can't quite believe the blizzard's coming? But you can look at the radar and, yup, it's coming. That's where we are now. —>
losing my CDL because my essay on homoeroticism in whitman is too shallow and derivative
WHITE HOUSE: TRUMP WILL SIGN ORDER ON ENGLISH LITERARY TESTS FOR TRUCKERS IN U.S.
Look, people probably wouldn't be trying to curtail libraries' activities and cut their funding if libraries didn't engage in problematic behaviors like "having information" and "helping people."
Anyone in libraryland who can help me find peace with the fact that the hard work I did (and succeeded in!) while working in a toxic environment did actually help the library, and things are better, even though I had to leave and am now isolated from my chosen profession? #sad
I made a blue sky account. Find me over at Educated Adult. I miss the #librarylife #librarytwitter community this once was, but it’s sad here now. And I am no longer a librarian. Join me there? #exodus #leaving
