Jessamyn West in Wired
Wired magazine writes about Jessamyn West and the movement against the USA Patriot Act.
A few quotes from the article:
“[West] believes that you have to be somewhat radical to become a librarian in the first place. In addition to a good education, you need to devote yourself to low-to-middle-paying jobs where even your friends make jokes about you, and fear that one day you will be replaced by a computer.”
…
“What does the irascible West say to people who tease her by asking if she has taken classes on holding her finger up to her lips and saying shush?
‘I’m pretty good with this finger already,’ she replied.”
Jessamyn shared this URL on an Ibiblio list. Ryan, who attended my blog talk in Wisconsin and thinks he’s ready to have his name attached to his blog, encouraged me to post it, also.
