.@PeteButtigieg: If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man. The substance actually matters

@Morgan_J_Talty It has always struck me as weirdly perfomative. Unless the organization doing it is also actually *doing* something—some kind of tangible support for native people / communities.

I hate land acknowledgments. There, I fucking said it.

::Whispers:: I think I might be heading back here, just to interact. . .

@thedigitalyenta Yes. In part because my father died at the beginning of it (3/9/2020) and I still don't think I've fully processed *that* because it came in the midst of everything else...

My hard-hitting interview with Liv Osthus, AKA Viva Las Vegas, candidate for mayor of #Portland Oregon open.substack.com/pub/janeroper/…
English
@_PNW_Native_ @coyote_rabbit Yep! If you check out her TedX talk or read some of her work, she explains why she chooses to still make her living that way.
English
@janeroper @coyote_rabbit So, an educated stripper that wrote a book about stripping, plus some articles etc. & still is shakin' her money-maker today despite her assumed capability to make a livining w/ her panties on? How many failed authors cum boob-wagglers do we need in city hall, & why?
English
excited about Liv Osthus run 4 mayor until I read Mingus Mapps is her mentor & talked her into it?!! He is using this women as a political pawn, whether she is a useful idiot or in cahoots I cannot know for sure. Old strategy in Portland mayoral races to split the opposition.

Iconic Portland stripper Liv Osthus, better known by her stage name Viva Las Vegas, is running to become Portland’s next mayor. Read the exclusive interview. wweek.com/news/city/2024…

@_PNW_Native_ @coyote_rabbit She has a degree from Williams College (consistently ranked the #1 college in the country), is the author of two books and numerous published essays and articles, and is a musician, actor and parent.

@coyote_rabbit What more should I know? Being the master of the pole isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of ones intellect now, is it? Imagine the creative horsepower needed to waggle one's genitals in the face of a Journeyman Electrician on his lunch break. Is that really the best we can do?

@MichaelJElston @Unclegary9 Wait! Can we talk more about how Biden is old?

@AskAManager @amypoeppel I'm happy to share that after I reached out to the library that @amypoeppel is referring to, they sincerely and graciously apologized, removed the post, and got rid of the display. I just hope other libraries will reconsider using the anti-staff picks gimmick.
English
thread from the wonderful @amypoeppel and wow do I agree with her about this library :(
I know lots of librarians read AAM and I'd love to know what you think...

I love libraries and I love librarians! Always have, always will. HOWEVER, here’s a thread on how I got my heart squashed by one particular library in Massachusetts yesterday.

@MaximumMary @AskAManager @amypoeppel Authors have to swallow a lot of negativity on Goodreads, Amazon, etc. It comes with the territory. But to see it at the libraries we love, who we count on to help us reach new readers, it really stings. There are less mean-spirited ways to do a display that makes the same point

@rachel_fw Yep! Or if you were *really* lucky, your parents got you your own phone line. Also, we would write each other notes on notebook paper at school and fold them up into little triangles and shove them into each other's lockers. :-)
English
Also HOW did young people date before mobile phones and email?!! Did they just have to give out their parents’ home numbers?

Feeling a bit meh (see previous tweets about doomed holiday) but this is deeply lovely and exactly what I need.

@amypoeppel It's a terrible idea. It would be one thing if it was "Popular books our librarians disagreed about -- what do YOU think?" But that's not what this is. Really just mean and damaging, especially for lesser known authors.
English
#writingcommunity I would love your take. Am I being whiny or is this library’s “NO!” Cart a bad idea?
