Activism comes in many forms. It isn't always grand, and most people never know about it, but it still matters. Don't forget to be the change where you are.

This is 1000% accurate. In fact, things were much worse than Melissa conveys here. But, shout out to the UTA Library diaspora. We are strong despite it all.

Something I’d like to share in these turbulent Twitter (potentially end)times is that Librarians do surveys how everyone else does systematic reviews - completely winging it. There isn’t any basic social science methodology. Literally throwing questions into a Qualtrics form.

Librarians: We surveyed our users, …and they love us. Science! ✨

The fact that people see this tweet and are more upset about librarians/teachers potentially making $85k than about actual managers actually making $300k…

There are a lot of librarians FIGHTING AGAINST their fellow librarians in this push for making more. Yes, I am yelling because it is infuriating!

Also when you work with a lot of CSE students who’d never had to figure out how to find or clean data. The mistakes made (that they did not notice) were very, very concerning…
this is why when I was a prof I tried to make my students deal with messy data, they hated it, but real world analysis looks like this 😅

Made the mistake of going to a children’s hospital ER a couple days ago. There were a frightening amount of people crammed, filling a huge waiting room to the brim. I took my baby and had to nope right on out of there.

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

and it was on my birthday 😭what a beautiful gift! ♥️
FYI: @lizzo concerts aren't the only place to hear the Library's classic instruments played live. Opportunities to experience our Stradivari & other antiques like the 1654 Nicolò Amati violin are coming up during the (FREE) fall Concert Series! #LizzoAtLOC go.loc.gov/Rf3u50KWmPl

Reminds me of when DFW got its first IKEA. That was a fun grand opening
Could literally not hear the anchors or what I was saying. Just had to scream and hope. That was the scene this morning at the @heb grand opening in Frisco. #IAmUp

Replying to @Claudia_Sahm
We should not be surprised at the labor shortage caused by Covid. As the Spanish Flu in 1917-18 showed, pandemics disrupt the supply of workers. Labor shortages, then as now, put upward pressure on wages. The shortage passes, and wage growth largely normalizes, but it takes time.

Fun fact: You can be refunded any federal student loan payments you've made since the March 2020 pause.
