Most of library twitter migrated to bluesky, but unfortunately for me, the Australian faction seemed to settle on LinkedIn and frankly I'd rather post in hell
Unfortunately it appears much of the academic community has reconstituted itself on LinkedIn

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

Six families & a camp of fifteen more: every hour is deeply uncertain, just as support for their survival has become deeply uncertain.

Click "weekly" on a coffee to remove this uncertainty. Emergency healthcare, food, winter & newborn supplies, and more. chuffed.org/project/hope...

BS deleted Olfat again!

Olftat has chronic health issues to regulate and children to care for. Only 25% of the agreed-to aid is getting in, which is far less than what's needed.
Help.

Keep sharing. Donate whatever you can.

This is Mohammed's son Badr, begging for help. He asks me to share it with you (IDK who the person is after Badr's message but she appears to know Mohammed and Nesma as well).

If you can donate to help them endure the winter, thank you. If you can't, please consider sharing.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

My heart is broken for people around the world enduring violence, murder, genocide. What are we doing. What have we done. Why can't we do better.
Any attack targeted at people just because they are Jewish is as barbaric and evil as any attack on people just because they are Palestinian, or whatever other nationality. I will not accept any justification or relativization for this horrifying act of antisemitism in my mentions. Evil, period.

In my experience there are few patriots capable of showing more loyalty for their chosen country than immigrants. Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43 year old Muslim immigrant & father of two showing America how a good guy without a gun can still stop a bad guy that is using one.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

My ex partner and dear friend was completing a residency in Santa Monica in hematology-oncology when he lost his life to a drug overdose on this day in 2007. Doctors are not robots and deserve support and to not live in fear of stigma for needing it just like anyone else. I miss him every day.
