In the same vein as above, via Kelly Jensen: "These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates."

Keeping in mind that *some* librarians out there are white supremacists and Nazi supporters, Kelly's point is very much still valid: just, vet your own librarian candidate before you support them.

@diffractie

Being a librarian is a sacred calling, not a paycheck. A librarian is a guardian of information, a champion of freedom, an embedded member of the community aiming to serve those in most need. The homeless people who need the information resources to get educated, to connect with resources for healthcare, housing, employment etc.

I was once married to a woman who was studying to become a librarian, and libraries have always held a special place in my heart.

Until 2023, when I turned whistleblower against the US government, and Accenture Federal Services. The persecution I faced, came from many sides, though the unkindest cut of all, was that some librarians turned out to be on the side of the establishment.

Read my account here. ( The PDF version is probably easier to read. )

Neil Gaiman's Mythmaking - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author

Neil Gaiman's writing style transforms myth into sacred text — weaving Norse, Greek, Celtic, and personal mythology into stories that feel as old as fire and as urgent as this morning. Explore four case studies — The Sandman, American Gods, Coraline, and Norse Mythology / The Ocean at the End of the Lane — and discover how the mythmaker works.
