This week we lost one of the brightest lights in the library world. Fobazi Ettarh was an incredibly generous human with the most amazing mind. Her work on Vocational Awe was transformative. We can return her gift by supporting her wife and family: gofund.me/cf5d5f82e.
A devastating loss to the profession and humanity. Fobazi, thanks for sharing your genius. You will be missed more than you can imagine.
Any day is a good day to get a library card! Enjoy!
Thanks so much!
Hey Friends -- if you have a moment, please advocate to your Congresspeople to continue to fund the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Thanks!
A picture of Dr Lisa Cook smiling in a lovely textured blazer. Superimposed text reads: Protect Black Women Leaders. Attacks on Dr. Lisa Cook are bigger than one woman -- they're attacks on representation, progress, and truth. When Black women rise, the backlash always comes. But we refuse to be silent while our leaders are targeted. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Cook because when Black women lead, we all win.
Dr. Lisa Cook has spent her career breaking barriers and driving equity. Sheβs facing unprecedented attacks for doing her job with independence and integrity, and weβre not staying silent.

I don't know how you have the energy to play the ukulele, but I'm with you on everything else.
Simmer down with that mating nonsense! They too loud!
The peer pressure! Ok, I'm all in!
A graphic from the American Library Association's campaign, "Show Up for Our Libraries." It reads: "President Trump signs executive order gutting Institute of Museum and Library Services. By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted American institutions and the staff and services they offer."
all this so jeff bezos can have a tax cut and buy clothes that show his nipple

Good looking out! Thanks!
As if these people care about women's sports.
Wtf & no thank you.
An illustration of two young owls in a tree hollow with leaves. An adult owl is perched on the branch outside, staring directly at the viewer, with a small mammal in its claws. Text added to the top reads "Reader: Licks finger to turn page. Librarian: ........".
We're quite fond of books here at the NHM Library and Archives, and we suspect these owls from John Gould's Birds of Great Britain know just how we feel.

You married well! (As did she).
I'm gonna miss her light and genius.
But of course they're doubling down on the no rapist left behind platform.
Deeply concerned about Malcolm Nance's blood pressure.
What fresh hell is this?
The most important card in your wallet!!
It's amazing! Loved it -- super smart and cringe all rolled into one.
He has a reflection?
Joy, you're the reason I watch the news. It's been incredibly refreshing to have someone willing to tell us what's going on in such a thoughtful, insightful way.
