Homelessness in America is a huge problem, and it's especially heartbreaking when the person has an obvious mental disorder. A homeless pimp identifying as Madonna was photographed at JFK airport in New York City looking confused and near-death. Kaiser and I were emailing about this, and she posed the question of whether some of Amanda's recent issues (staying for hours in a hair salon, locking herself in various bathrooms and dressing rooms) were somewhat of a put on. Crazy Days and Nights floated this theory a few weeks back. We both agree that she has serious mental issues regardless, and I thought that this was further evidence. Julie Wadsworth, 60, and her husband Tony, 69, are on trial at Warwick Crown Court and deny a number of charges of indecent assault. The Crown's barrister then asked about whether she had posed for.

Week 11 & 12: Cataloging
The past two weeks I have been reading Catalog It! by Allison G. Kaplan and it has been a steep learning curve. At first I was confused and had to orient myself to what exactly I was reading, but after support from a colleague I was able to build a foundational understanding of what I was reading.
Highlights from the reading
Literally Lightbulb moments in my learning!
💡The first is that if the goal is for patrons to become independent users of the library resources and the collection, then information must be organized in a way that makes it accessible.
💡school librarians are so important to know the collection and curriculum to be able to maximize the record to it’s capabilities! They can teach students to be effective searchers using keywords and search tools to find information they need
💡RDA= resource description and access, specifically WHAT information should be recorded
💡MARC = Machine Readable Cataloging
The help of my colleague and the first four chapters helped me to break down the structure of what I was reading in each chapter.
💡Marc data translating information and data into readable format. This is then uploaded into Destiny (ILS) translate into readable format
💡my favorite chapters and most helpful were the following
4: subject headings vs keyword access as I am currently doing a lot of teaching keyword search lessons with students and had not thought about teaching students to search by subject heading
Chapter 5: I enjoyed getting a better understanding of some of the complex types of books to classify because they mirror some of the conversations I have with my colleagues including Folklore and Grqphic Novels
Chapter 8 was intriguing to think about “the death of MARC” especially after reading the two articles about decolonizing cataloging.
Dorothy Porter and the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal library example made sense to me that systems “by us for us” are essential to create a more inclusive, equitable system for organizing information that is is not rooted in systems that sought to harm marginalized groups.

SBF had asked Ellison to use Alameda’s line of credit to buy out Binance’s shares.
He had also asked Ellison to put FTT on Alameda’s balance sheet to secure loans from Genesis.
Several new details have emerged as the testimony of Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of FTX’s [FTT] investment branch Alameda Research, continued into 11 October. The testimony has shed light on what went on behind closed doors at these two intertwined entities.
Ellison told the court that Binance [BNB] owned FTX stocks worth $2 billion. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried “SBF,” who also happens to be Ellison’s ex, wanted to buy those stocks back in 2021.
Binance would otherwise cause trouble to FTX, SBF thought. In fact, he asked her to use Alameda’s line of credit to buy out Binance.
At no point did FTX disclose Alameda’s line of credit to its customers, investors, or auditors, Ellison confirmed.
SBF even told Ellison to put FTT on Alameda’s balance sheet in order to get loans from Genesis. Genesis was one of the third-party crypto lenders that formed Alameda’s line of credit. Ellison remarked,
“I thought it was misleading.”
But she did it anyway.
Audit an appeal to investors
Ellison was well aware of the exchange of funds between FTX and Alameda. She said she even raised the issue with SBF in 2020. But he told her that the auditors wouldn’t be looking at these transactions. The audit was instead aimed at appealing to investors only.
AUSA: Why did the defendant say you were having an audit?
Allison: He said, to appeal to investors.
AUSA: Was FTX disclosing to customers the Alameda line of credit?
Judge Kaplan: Compound. Rephrase.
AUSA: To auditors?
Ellison: No.
AUSA: Investors?
Ellison: No
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) October 10, 2023
Ellison also talked about the controversial political donations made by FTX. Ryan Salame, a senior FTX executive, got a $35 million loan from Alameda that he used to funnel into contributions to Republican politicians. SBF gave $10 million to President Joe Biden to buy access.
AUSA: What was Ryan Salame using the loans for?
Ellison: Contributions to Republicans. Sam gave $10 million to Biden, he thought it bought him access.
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) October 10, 2023
The former Alameda CEO also told the court that due to several such transactions in the past, she assumed that FTX customer funds would be available to her organization. She was aware that Alameda couldn’t repay its loans and kept reminding SBF.
However, he dismissed these concerns as he wanted to keep expanding investments.
The testimony also revealed SBF thought he had a “5% chance” of becoming the president of the U.S. one day!
I’m seeing this screenshot get spread around a lot — important to note that in court, Caroline said that SBF estimated he had a “5% chance” of becoming President one day.
This screenshot makes it sounds like SBF said it was a certainty

Independent bookselling expanded again in 2022, with new and diverse stores opening nationwide
By HILLEL ITALIE
yesterday

The independent bookselling community continues to grow, with membership in the American Booksellers Association reaching its highest levels in more than 20 years. Callahan, Carter and Ross opened their store last year. (Sophia DeRise/Pocket Books via AP)
ADVERTISEMENT
NEW YORK (AP) — Near the end of 2021, Jessica Callahan was living in Columbus, Ohio, working as a social science researcher and wondering if there was a better way to support herself. Her friends Julie Ross and Austin Carter had similar thoughts and a similar solution: Open a bookstore.
“I think a lot of people re-evaluated what was important to them during the lockdown and we realized the place we were always happy to be at was a bookstore,” says the 30-year-old Callahan, who with Ross and Carter last year founded the Pocket Books Shop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, close to Carter’s hometown. The roughly 1,000-square foot store is located on the main floor of a Queen Anne style house where Callahan and Ross live upstairs.
“We looked at our lives and thought, ‘Why not?’ Nothing else felt guaranteed anymore so why not just try to be happy,” she added. “We’re not getting rich from this, but we’re able to pay our bills and pay ourselves.”
ADVERTISEMENT
The new direction of the Pocket Books owners helped lead to another year of growth for independent sellers, with membership in the American Booksellers Association reaching its highest levels in more than 20 years. The ABA added 173 members last year, and now has 2,185 bookstore businesses and 2,599 locations. Three years after the pandemic shut down most of the physical bookstores in the U.S. and the independent community feared hundreds might close permanently, the ABA has nearly 300 more members (under stricter rules for membership) than it did in 2019, the last full year before the spread of COVID-19.
“It speaks to a sea change coming out of the pandemic,” says Allison Hill, CEO of the trade association, citing an overall rise in book sales as people spent more time at home.
One longtime ABA member, Mitchell Kaplan of Books & Books in Coral Gables and other Florida locations, says business has been strong the past couple of years and the customers have been younger, in their teens and 20s. Some are seeking books by Colleen Hoover, Emily Henry and others popular on TikTok, but many are anxious to buy other works.
“I feel like young people are re-discovering the bookstore and the importance of community after being locked down,” he says. “And you’re seeing interest across the board. The other day I had a young person come in who was interested in short stories and wanted to buy a book of Chekhov.”
ADVERTISEMENT
The ABA also continued its recent trend of not just adding stores, but more diverse stores, whether the kinds of operations or who runs them. Independent stores these days range from longtime traditional sellers such as Books & Books to pop-up stores, mobile shops and one that began as an online store and Instagram account, Black Walnut Books, in Glen Falls, New York.
Once overwhelmingly white, the booksellers association added 46 stores last year that reported diverse ownership, among them Rooted MKE in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Black Garnet Books, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Hillary Smith, owner of Black Walnut Books, is a member of the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians who is focused on queer and Indigenous titles and works by authors of color.
“I am a mission-based bookseller,” she says.
ADVERTISEMENT
Another new store owner, Heather Hall of Greenfeather Book Company in Norman, Oklahoma, also sees her job as a calling. Before the pandemic, she had planned to work in the legal profession, but found herself thinking of other possible careers and was surprised to realize that she had the financial resources and enough of a potential local market to go into bookselling — a seemingly distant dream.
Hall is a self-described “loud mouth” who soon became active in countering the state’s book bannings. After a Norman high school teacher was criticized (and eventually resigned) for sharing the QR code to the Brooklyn Public Library’s Books Unbanned Project — an initiative to enable students nationwide to access books banned in their communities — Hall decided to give away T-shirts with the library’s code.
“Being loud and obnoxious is a normal part of my life,” she says with a laugh. “I am 100% in with the ability to have a conversation about every aspect of books. I’m not talking from an ivory tower perspective. It can be romance novels, science fiction, genre fiction. I’m talking about graphic novels. These conversations are the things in my life that make it better and happier and more wonderful.”
Hill says sales appear “softer” in 2023 than in the last couple of years, but still anticipates further growth for the trade association, with 56 member stores added so far and 18 closing.
Prospective owners include 32-year-old Paullina Mills of Perry, Iowa, who had worked in education for the past decade until recent state legislation — including proposed restrictions on what books can be taught — made her consider a new path. This summer, she plans to open Century Farm Books & Brews, and have it live up to its name as a gathering place for drinks and books and bookish conversations.
“I wanted a place where people would come and get a glass of wine and maybe have a book club,” she says. “I think in general we have missed personal connections (during the pandemic) and this seems like a great way to fill a hole in our community. It seemed like a pipe dream at first, but then I found a building and it was like, ’OK, I’m going to jump in headfirst and see how it goes.”
People think actual books aren’t selling…they literally brought back Books A Million at Park City. Yes, it was because their rent agreement went out but still...we all thought it wasn't coming back and it did. It's smaller but seems to do much better (I've haven't been there for mobths but I know it's going good) than it was before.
Even Barbes & Nobles seem to be doing well.
