Sorry we really went from free the nipple, take back the night, slut walks, and ending gender/sex segregation in sports being fucking milquetoast feminism 101 concepts to fucking girl dinner and "I just worry about fairness if we let trans girls play against cis ones" and "it was right of that woman to call the cops on a black man for existing near here in public during the day time because men are all violent monsters" and "radical feminism isn't transphobic we just need to kill all men including trans ones those oppressive traitors" and I will legit never be able to be normal about it. What the FUCK happened. I'd say I wonder what the feminists of my youth would say about this but I'm one and lemme tell ya I want to throw up. Go fucking read bell hooks or do something else useful please because all of this learned helplessness, gender essentialism, and transphobia dressed up as feminism is actively holding us back.

Hey. Hey. Universe is not uncaring and cruel okay? Because you are part of the universe and i am part of the universe and everyone is part of the universe. And i care. And you care. And millions of us care. And we can all choose to be kind instead of cruel. Okay? The universe cares because you care because i care because people care. The universe can be kind because you can be kind and i can be kind and we all can be kind. Okay?

I keep remembering a run of Hamlet I saw a few years ago, where the Ghost was costumed in full plate armour which was very noisy, and instead of muffling it, they had him crash across the stage, stomping so the whole set rattled, and he said all of his lines in a bellow, like he was furious with Hamlet.

And the thing that made it absolutely terrifying was that Hamlet was the only one who reacted. He was cowering, and covering his ears with both hands, and yelling to be heard over the noise.

And no one else seemed to know why he was doing that. The other actors didn't even raise their voices.

That's scary, something so loud and painful, and REAL, and the people around you don't even notice it, and think that you're the crazy one.

Yes, the library has sewing machines.

No, the library can't arrange a free, fully-equipped upcycling-themed sewing class for a bunch of 5th grade girls in 24 hours are you on crack.

[gaths-bookclub]

I fucking love that libraries have sewing machines now in some locations but also the hours of availability are sometimes difficult to work with

[nitewrighter]

Unfortunately the limited availability of "Library of things"/Makerspace resources is an unfortunate side effect of rapidly implementing these library features across the board without a lot of consideration towards the training/availability of staff in conjunction with the rest of the library's functions. It turns out that if you say you have a thing available but you don't actually have the personnel to make sure that resource is sustainably accessible to the community, then the thing is not actually available. Makerspaces have been vital in keeping libraries relevant and expanding our outreach with communities, but they're also a very real example of mission creep.

[gaths-bookclub]

Any insights on how someone not working in the library system might be able to support it's more graceful expansion/accessibility?

[nitewrighter]

Write it in on library user surveys! Find friends to also take said surveys to also push for expanded access policies! Talk to your local library trustees! Physically show up to your library at a consistent time and ask them about it! Statistics drive a lot of library programming decisions, but those decisions are often also being negotiated between multiple library service departments. Like, I desperately want better time slots for teen programming so that I can actually have teens attending my programming, so I put out a survey asking teens what time slots they would most be able to attend programs because I need that data to argue for better time slots for teen programming--except teens can't be assed to take 5 minutes to fill in a google form so I'm essentially stuck with a catch 22 of "we can't give you better time slots because adults and children more consistently attend programs in these time slots." Except the teens can't come to the time slots I currently have so that only drives the data narrative of "there isn't a demand for teen programming." We need user input from more than one person, but it's a lot more helpful if it's coming through the avenues we've actually set up for feedback rather than random phone calls and emails.

[nitewrighter]

I should also mention that direct user donations to libraries (through library foundations) tend to go to library programming rather than staffing because we can't count on donations to be consistent from year to year. If you want expanded library hours, that will probably call for expanded library staffing (usually on-call staffing), and that's dependent on city budgets setting aside bigger budgets for their respective libraries--so advocating for more library funding for expanded hours or staffing at your local city council meeting is a big way to help as well!

I do think it's kind of funny how john green wrote a book about tuberculosis that brought a lot of renewed attention to the subject and he's since become the darling of the tb world, speaks at tb conferences, my dad and every other tb researcher I know is absolutely smitten with him, and they'll be like "we love this guy! have you heard of him??" and I have to be like well yes, I have. for other reasons
