    THREAD.

    So ok. Are there problematic patrons who come into libraries? Oh yes. I don't deny that. But if you have a persistent mind set that every person who comes into your library is probably a problem, that impacts how you treat them and interpret their behavior. This is not good.

    There is a Passover song, “Zog, Maran”, which is structured as a conversation between an Ashkenazi Jew and a Sephardi Jew celebrating under the fear of persecution and murder. It ends: “And what if your foe should find you?” “Then we will die singing”

    I can't put this better than Dr. Gibson has.

    This year, in particular, has felt full of violence - close and dangerous. It is a draining, low key, nagging terror. Sending thoughts of comfort and solidarity for my Jewish friends and colleagues after today's shooting. Mourning with you today. 😢

    A weird thing happened today; I got an email from someone wanting to know why there's a chapter of my most popular HP fic missing from Fiction Alley, the HP fanfic archive. And I'd completely forgotten about this. This missing chapter is a relic from a CRAZY BYGONE FANDOM ERA.

    Because I was a child when it started, I just started watching 90210 for the first time and I’m baffled that AO3 only has ONE Brandon Walsh/Dylan McKay story. Baffled, I say! What even are you, Internet?

    Vicki Boykis's experience with leaving Facebook resonates with my own, especially the part where you don't miss the noise but you do miss out on parent groups and local family events.

    This kind of gender bias in grant proposal reviewing makes me incredibly angry, especially given the second tweet in the thread (more specific proposals produce better research).

    Study of 6,794 Gates Foundation proposals finds female proposals are scored lower than male ones, even w/ blind review process. Key reason is men use more broad descriptive words, women narrow technical ones, and reviewers prefer the former.

    I love Veronica Mars very deeply but that it has been revived TWICE before Terriers has been revived even ONCE is not, strictly speaking, just.

    28. Owning things is fine. Wanting to own things is fine. Feeling an inherent worth in owning things is fine. Don't let the current Cult of Minimalism make you feel bad if you want to own things.

    25. (This is a hard-fought and newly won hottake) It doesn't matter how much time/money/spoons/resources you've invested in something: if it's not making you happy then you should consider not doing it.

    24. Back on reading: reading books isn't better than reading magazines. Let people read what they want.

    19. On the subject of books: ebooks aren't 'lesser reading' to print books. It's exactly the same. And actually, are *more accessible* because they're usually cheaper and because one can make the font/background/etc as they need it to read comfortably.
