“The mission of the libraries is to protect accessibility to all information for the public … if they can get away with censoring Palestinians, then censorship is allowed and normalized.”

This reminds me of a great story about philosopher Barbara Freeman I first learned of from @robinjames.bsky.social
206 SHARON M. MEAGHER phenomenon in our undergraduate and graduate training; we knew that we needed to demonstrate full command of the canon AND then do our work in feminism if we were to be respected or even if we were to survive in the profession. We therefore did not notice the extraordinary and unfair expectations that were being placed on us; there was an utter lack of reciprocity—no sense that all philosophers shared a responsibility to learn feminist philosophy. But what helped me recognize these questions as an unjust burden was the way that Barbara Freeman, on the 1985 program, responded to what I started to call thereafter "the Hegel boy" question. After Freeman gave her paper, a man sitting close to the front raised his hand and said that he thought that Freeman had delivered a good paper but wanted to know how it was relevant to his research on Hegel. Freeman and her panelists were seated at a table on a dais. Freeman got up from her chair, walked around the table to the very edge of the stage, and, leaning hard toward the questioner, screamed, "WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HEGEL? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HEGEL? F***ING NOTHING!" Freeman then calmly returned to her seat, took the microphone, and answered the maris question in tremendous detail, proving that she could pass his test while at the same time exposing the absurdity of having to engage in such a translation project.

Finally my turn to get one of the LAPL copies… Nice to have a new story to sink into (have been rereading a lotta stuff, most recently The Optimist’s Daughter, by one of your fellow Pulitzer Prize winners.).

In addition to the Library Haul, there is the Library Store Haul. 2 wall calenders, one of bookstores, one of classical paintings with irreverent slogans. One book on Yuletide monsters - as a fan of @benitocereno.bsky.social, how could I resist?
From the LAPL Central Library Store: a wall calendar of cool bookstore photos, a wall calendar called Punk History and a book called The Fright Before Christmas, with and illustration of Krampus carrying a child away while holding a switch against a blood-red background.

Library haul - didn’t get all the Allingham I wanted, but the Campuon mysteries aren’t strictly serialized. And my first Sylvia Moreno-Garcia … wish me luck!
A stack of library books from LAPL that includes Gods of Jade and Shadow, Police at the Funeral, Sweet Danger, The Allingham Case-book, The Return of Mr. Campion, & The Allingham Mini-bus.

(Difficult to choose. So many options! Ask me again and choice could be different... Tiger Moth, Cirrus Vision Jet, any warbird, PAL-V, any airplane that actually is allowed to fly in the Netherlands and I could fly with LAPL/PPL license myself, really. Would need to get going on that license! 🤔)
