The American Library Association is Queering the Catalog
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 123
The American Library Association (ALA) is a fully captured institution headed by a Queer Marxist organizer named Emily Drabinski. That means it is time to do what we should have done a long time ago: break away from the American Library Association.

He takes you through an academic paper by Drabinski titled "Queering the Catalog" from 2013 (https://newdiscourses.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/drabinski2013.pdf), showing you ...

And a space that really reflected who I am and not just the values of librarianship as a whole, or the values that I learned about in school, but about me.
