I am getting somewhat emotional reading about all the parts of S.220, An act relating to Vermont’s public libraries, which was signed by Vermont's governor today.

  • empowers the Department of Libraries to develop model selection and retention policies for public libraries (PL)
  • requires the DOL to provide Continuing Ed for public library staff (they do this already)
  • extends enhanced penalties for criminal threatening in all PL
  • lowers the age of patron confidentiality in PL from 16 to 12

I just went to the Virginia DMV to renew my driver’s license and my vehicle registration. That could not have been an easier or more efficient process. I think every interaction I have ever had with the local DMV office has been easy, friendly, and successful.

@waldoj @StephanieMoore Same in Vermont. I registered my truck and got custom plates (ordered) all within a very short not-wasting-my-time window. The woman who helped me was friendly and efficient. I did have to drive to the state capital (there are like five DMVs in this state) but that was a small price to pay.

New Year new #Wikipedia list. Reebee Garofalo was one of the original people who put together Rock Against Racism Massachusetts but you may know him as the snare player for the Good Trouble Brass Band playing in the HONK! Festival of Activist Street Bands. He was cited in a ton of other Wikipedia articles and made that Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music chart you may have seen in an Edward Tufte book. A good guy to get to know, deserves a longer article but this is good for now

A man in a red beret with a white beard looks into the camera. He is standingbehind a podium that has an apple laptop on it. He is wearing many strands of multicolored beads and a red HONK t-shirt

My usual rule of thumb is only articles about under-represented folks on Wikipedia but I made an exception for Bill Harris without actually knowing he was a gay journalist so Happy Pride Month and please enjoy the wide array of things this man did in his journalism career.

Bill harris screenshot. He is a middle-aged white man with a large mustache and glasses. Over his shoulder is an inset picture showing "A women's Look at Men's BUNS" calendar from 1985 with a picture of someone's butt in blue briefs

This guy's name is Bum Farto and the categories on his Wikipedia article are: 1919 births, Missing people, People declared dead in absentia, 20th-century American criminals, and Firefighters. I don't think I have anything more to add except amazement no one had written this article before.
