PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

The people banning books have NEVER been the good guys.

Sign the petition to stop the Federal Book Ban bill!

WHO is excited for Superb Owl weekend? πŸ¦‰

These owls from the Library's Japanese prints and drawings collection don't seem that thrilled, actually, although it's sure to be a hoot.

They're enthusiastic about Bad Bunny, but they may not understand that he's a man, not a delicious small mammal.

Finally some positive Rutgers news! I’m genuinely shocked (and sooo relieved) that they tapped someone not named Greg Schiano. #Rutgers

Rutgers is last in the Big Ten in both donations and ticket revenue (Maryland is a close second). It’s something the northeast in general has trouble with.

Study reveals cats have 276 facial expressions The study involved dozens of cats, living in a rehoming shelter in Los Angeles

We are 267 cat emoji short of the full set. Unacceptable.

The best part of the march today is when the demonstrators started chanting "ICE DEEZ NUTS" (objectively hilarious) and after a bit the little old lady marching near me leans close and says, "So . . . I just don't know what that means." And I had to explain it to her.

Tell him to donate to Rutgers, then you’ll talk.

Well, Rutgers does have a three game win streak against Indiana. Not many teams can say that!

First time in my life I’ve watched/rooted for an NFL team and it’s because of Monangai.
