On a personal note, an IMLS grant gave me a job & a scholarship that made grad school possible for me. The future of libraries and librarians really does depend on that agency.

Getting the same outage message every 5 minutes and promptly forgetting it is making clear to me how often I use Duck Duck Go 😩
