This library wheel is how you could have multiple tabs open in the days before web browsers.
I am resisting in place. I won’t march, and I already hold public office, it’s called Public Librarian. I make queer and trans people feel at home and change their name in the catalog and if my coworkers change it back, I change it again. I make rainbow brochures and when they get stolen and trashed I make more. I put book challenge info on the website. I’m safe zone trained and in the trenches. We may need extra funding soon so please remember and support us.

I'm not a doctor.
I'm not a therapist.
One thing that has helped my anxiety/depression since September - volunteering.
I started volunteering at our local library assisting immigrants/migrants in learning to converse in English. It has helped... BEYOND.
If you're feeling helpless - volunteer(!) At your local houseless shelter, #library, food bank, etc.
They are understaffed and need your help!
#MuseumEducators are a bit thin on the ground in the Fediverse and I'd really like to collect some more!
So do you work in a #musuem, #gallery, #archive, #library or other #heritage sector organisation in a role which focuses on #learning and #education? Please say hi, especially if you're in the UK!
If not, do you know anybody who does? Please introduce us!
If neither of the above fit then a boost would still be very much appreciated.
Note: When I post things like this I tend to get helpful replies about following #tags: I know this, and I do! I'm looking for people rather than posts: there aren't many of either and the relevant #tags are just so much tumbleweed so far. There _must_ be museum educators out there somewhere (but they're not posting about museum education things because they haven't found anyone else who cares...): I'm trying to build that community.
