ALSO I have a question! Those of you who have library degrees – what sort of work did you have to do within them?-
I saved the link to watch later–I’ve been interested in how other countries approach libraries as an entity. (The Australian model and US model appear similar.)
As a grad student, I’ve taken classes on Into to Libraries (history, overview of information exchange theory, usually bits about sociology, business management, and a little bit of…[Read more]

omg you can have an lgbtq focus in library school? every time i start dreaming about being a librarian i envision having some kind of focus on lit of/for under-represented groups.

Mine is unofficial–whenever I have a project, I tend to make it ghey. :D

I’m writing a horror screenplay. There’s a part where a Professor is dumped by his girlfriend. The Professor in a rage grabs a vial of monster blood and stabs it into her neck thus turning her into a monster. It’s horrific and awful, but the professor gets killed by the end of the screenplay and it all has a thematic point to it.
I was telling…[Read more]

Well, first of all, congrats to you on not immediately shooting your friends in the face. There are always some people who will read the most disturbing shit into your work no matter what you do, just because they’re seeing everything through their own poison lens. But when your screenplay is made, just be sure it’s clear that this *isn’t* “what…[Read more]

Yeah, pretty much what Raksha said. It does seem disturbing that they’re so happy about that kinda thing.
-
Yeah, it was a creepy experience.
I hope I don’t sound like a complete push over when I say that one of these guys in other respects is a pretty nice guy.
He actual co-produced my no-budget (yet extremely awesome) indie lesbian movie that I’m working on right now to the extent that the movie would not have been made if it wasn’t for his help.…[Read more]

Ooh, and indie lesbian movie? Definitely let us know when your movie is done!
Re: your friends disturbing flashes of misogyny. Yeah, I know what you mean. I’ve had friends like that. I always felt guilty and icky if I didn’t say *something* in response to those little incidents and I like to think that gave them something to think about. But…[Read more]-
I agree. Sometimes I’m a chicken and opt out of any kind of confrontation. However, it’s better to say something or mention if someone’s being misogynist or homophobic. I gotta be more gutsy.
-
I don’t have so much of a problem with the misogyny, but I get a lot of homophobia and find it very hard to say something. I usually feel bit ‘:o’ by it and by the time I’ve found a response the conversation has moved on.

First off, the movie sounds like it will be amazing. Secondly, comments from the guys, not cute. That would have started a war between me and them. I always speak up about stuff like that. I would definitely tell them something about that. They might not even realize what they’re actually saying.

http://bit.ly/jlIWOZi’m so pissed off that i can’t be objective right now. please forgive me. a society spends money on what it agrees is important…so, sponsoring NASCAR is more important that school f*cking libraries?!! *i need a minute*

Kids who don’t enjoy reading or think critically will grow up into the kind of adults who do not think critically when exposed to political rhetoric or fact-check stuff important people say. One of the professors at my iSchool did research that showed student performance was better in schools with degreed librarians than in those without one ……[Read more]

ReachoutReads is a website for teens that recommends YA lit for life’s tough situations, and hosts author chats so readers can discuss the books and meet other folk going through what they’re going through. I don’t see anything queer yet, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t there by the end of the month…
