Not sure how I stumbled on this letter from the editor of a student newspaper, but it's so great. A coach said the paper shouldn't exclusively cover games the team loses, and the editor basically responded "we'd have to see the team WIN a game to cover it." http://theranger.org/2015/03/23/we-are-a-newspaper-not-a-public-relations-firm/
"The nonprofit establishment or non-profit industrial complex (NPIC) also seeks out 'sexy' or 'fundable' issues to co-opt and exploit as these are ripe for the grant funding that they covet."

@metagrrrl In my work on systems and process for government and nonprofit, at least once a project I say “we could really use a librarian for this.” Librarians/archivists are more critical than anyone ever remembers.
@metagrrrl SERIOUSLY!
"Had a loss of comparable magnitude to the Universal fire occurred at a different cultural institution — say, the Metropolitan Museum of Art — there might have been wider awareness of the event, perhaps some form of accountability." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-master-recordings.html
@jstephens Being an introvert in a really people-focused job is already hard enough.
@jstephens And I try hard not to be a prescriptivist, but also I genuinely like to hear how people are doing!
@whoisgina Wow also same
@darius this feels very "bone hurting juice"
I am too midwestern to function and incredibly socially awkward, so grain of salt, but: I think it's slightly rude when someone says "how are you?" and I say "good, how about you?" and they don't respond.

What is a song that is in your all-time-favorite-songs pantheon but seems like nobody else ever talks about it?
Here’s one for me: Air France - “Collapsing at Your Doorstep”

Oh man. Overhearing a young guy at the library telling his mom that he bought an Xbox One and then had to get rid of it because he doesn't have internet and most of the features on it require an internet connection. This really resonates with recent estimates that 49% of America doesn't have broadband, and Diana Nucera's talk at #Eyeo2019 talking about how a huge percentage of Detroit's population has NO internet, not even mobile access
The guy took his Xbox to the pawn shop the next day :(
