If you don’t think librarians aren’t right there ready to resist alongside the scientists you aren’t paying attention.

Don’t ever fuck with the ones who look at the past all day long. Don’t ever fuck with the ones who treat their volumes like friends and take their friends home with them in stacked little conversations. Don’t ever fuck with the ones who have brains like Rolodexes of Dewey decimal numbers and can call out the receipts whenever you spout off at the mouth. Don’t ever fuck with the ones who hold words to be sacred roads into minds and hearts. Don’t ever fuck with the curators, the binders, the lungs that breathe knowledge and exhale wisdom.

Don’t ever fuck with a librarian.
