Op-ed: These days, when you work as a librarian in America, there is no lack of emergencies | @Longreads buff.ly/3UWE3F3
"Every day, the collapse comes to our door and sets up camp. Because when the social safety net fails you—and it will fail you—you can still come to the library." At Longreads, a @lisabubert dispatch from one of society's last collective havens. longreads.com/2024/02/27/saf…
Today on the Stack! via @lisabubert litmagnews.substack.com

"Increasingly, being a librarian is less and less about books and more and more about community survival." @lisabubert should know—she's a librarian, too. Here, she surfaces the best pieces about the state of the public library. #longreads longreads.com/2023/09/19/lib…
1. Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25 led the charge to expel two elected members for violating "rules of decorum." But a Popular Information investigation has uncovered evidence Sexton is violating a more fundamental rule: THE STATE CONSTITUTION Follow along if interested 🧵
The nation is watching. If you’re new to Tennessee politics, here are some tips: ➡️ It’s gerrymandering, voter suppression, and a lack of investments that have caused low voter turnout. ➡️ The DNC nor national organizations haven’t seen Tennessee as a viable investment.
THEY DID IT!!! Washington @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers just helped pass HB 1240, which prohibits the sale and manufacture of assault-style rifles, including semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines. The bill is now headed to @GovInslee for his signature. 💪
Obviously after two lawmakers were voted out for their acts last week the crowd is upset.
"I love a good medical drama. My mother, a nurse, raised me on ER and General Hospital, always pointing out all the plot lines that 'would never happen in real life' but were really cool to watch on TV. " @lisabubert longreads.com/2023/03/28/med… #longreads

"If you get drunk and you want to lie you're a fiction writer, and if you get drunk and you tell the truth you're a memoirist, and if you get drunk and you wanna lay on the hood of the car and look at the sky you're a poet." — A quote fit for the weekend from Rebecca Makkai
I might be crazy and someone please tell me why this won’t work, but in light of the slew of AI-generated submissions and general onslaught of online subs that lit journals can barely keep up with, could we just… go back to snail mail subs? @TheLincoln
am I the only person in the world who has a @Pocket subscription?

@Longreads @lisabubert Libraries are refuges from the streets, & librarians are the social contact points for many of the disadvanteged.

Before this election, a majority of Nashvillians felt like the city was headed in the wrong direction. Today, I'm hopeful *this* mayor and *this* council will actually serve the people, be innovative/efficient with city services, and stand up to facist bullies at the state level.
@JGamble4Council @angienashville Employees don't feel they can tell their bosses their concerns, she says, noting the lack of exit interviews is "highly problematic."
@kevinrhoten "We are giving a 9% increase," he says. "No company that I know right now gives a 9% pay increase." ***Side note: merit raises can't be given to employees that have already reached the top of their pay scales -- typically the employees who have been around longest.
I think they should've waited until after the primary (on Aug 3), which would be before the special session. At least then we'd know whether voters chose Behn or Davis -- or whoever else ends up in the Democratic primary.
4 years at @TexasHighways for me tmrw. Gah. Thanks to all the writers who've helped us punch above our weight class--and for giving me writer's block. Do me a favor and give us a follow. Better yet, subscribe: subscription.texashighways.com/ecom/thm/app/l…
The final speaker of the night reminds the council that we can see how they vote, and she hopes they feel the heat we feel with their decisions. A muted chorus of "Ready for Freddie" is ringing out in the gallery.
In recent years, I've seen SEIU members advocate for teacher raises when they know they won't get their own, and MNEA members do the same for SEIU. If you want to restore your faith in humanity, just look Metro's union members.
I never cease to be amazed by the selflessness of our union members. MNPS teachers are here advocating for substitute teachers, not for themselves.
And all the police officers have left the room now that they've been spoken for. SEIU is still here in force.

There were 9,000 people locking arms for community safety yesterday, I hope they all call and email state reps and tell them to vote NO on HB 764. This bill makes our community less safe and it is an attack on our democracy.
The final vote to abolish the Memphis and Nashville oversight and review boards will take place Thursday. The bill overturns a 2018 referendum amendment approved by 134,000 voters in Nashville. 1/x wpln.org/post/weigh-in-…
