Re:library keeping+earning that trust, something that feels obv but not? widespread = cite any AI use, in public+also internal. Text in our emails+drafts often eventually become parts of public work+wording, w/o remembering how they started; + build toward this feeling like "citing" not "admitting"
Amanda Wyatt! ViscontiLibraries have an urgent role to play in defending access to & as trustable sources of info right now. That should be the mission, with staff resourced in the tools supporting it.

Robert ReichA woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents. ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines. Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.
Thinking re:our past dean's ARL chat IDing where library energies must be: Q. What are the key issues that you think research libraries will face in the next five years? "In a nutshell, the challenge we face in libraries and in higher education and beyond in the US is government-sponsored fascism."

Yes! As Meli says—anarchist models don't mean no structure/no leads. They mean no one is metaphorically "above" (eg must be followed, not publicly contradicted, best ideas); system goes by equity+who acts, removes patriarchal "it's a family & needs a father figure" (underlying eg staff-admin model)
MeliOkay I am a little in love with “many Doloreses, no president” as an anarchist understanding of how we do need some scaffolding of organizational work but it can be people like me (well. I’m no Dolores, but)
Thinking of that tweet re:everyone in academia knows a 60yo woman only known by her 1st name, who actually runs the dept/uni. (Which is almost at an anarchist understanding: not "make Dolores president" but "many Doloreses, no president" and "how can you Dolores too") +
Tressie McMillan CottomAnyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.
The sensemaking @tressiemcphd.bsky.social IDs is crucial, & found not in the latest mission statement elevator pitch but in working meetings: what are we allowed to do—no, what *could* we do just no one has done it that way? and how: where is our record of, knowledge base... actions="what we are" +

Gratitude for @jajrk.bsky.social @emmcg.bsky.social @claudiaeberger.bsky.social @leoba.bsky.social & Vika Zafrin for covering that 20yrs w/me. Leadership is doing the work, including the work (infra) making other work possible.
Quinn DaedalNow here's a challenge for the men of @ach.bsky.social: volunteer to be next in line for secretary and mix things up so it's not always women and enbies doing that work. The last male secretary was Stéfan Sinclair from 2004-2007. It's been 20 years, my dudes!
