I'm having lots of feelings about these first day of school questions I use for my #Curiosity and critical practice course. I happened to have this pic from last spring's first day of class. I ask them to choose one question to respond to when they introduce themselves.

Remember that time when @ALALibrary ignored the voices of Black people about having Annual in Florida because of Stand Your Ground laws, and then suddenly was an ally when Pulse happened? But only after white-washing the deaths of mostly Latine folks inside the club? I remember.

Being on search committees has confirmed for me how arbitrary success in academia is. Yes, you have to be smart and capable to make it. But you could have been just as smart and just as capable and not made it. Basically, we work our asses off to buy a lottery ticket.

My response to @CDCDirector.

-sigh- come on y’all let’s not do this library folks. The people who are having meltdowns are doing so because a unapologetic fat Black woman accessed a piece of history that they think is only for white people and that INCLUDES library workers.

I've been in public health for 22 years. I've advocated and created programs geared towards meeting people where they are.
A major difference is the goal was always to assist them in moving from where they are to where optimal health is, not to acceptance of subpar health.

I'm truly shocked this is not a parody account.
Less shocked by the disregard for the historic residents and businesses, overwhelmingly Black, that were pushed out of the region to make room for "different types of ppl"
