Radical Militant Librarians
on Jan 13 in ALA, Avenging by Erica FirmentHave you seen the ALA’s new Radical Militant Librarian buttons? Me too. I liked the concept, but not the design. So I made some of my own. Ain’t Capitalism grand? As usual, all proceeds go to a combination of non-profits and grocery bills.

The ALA’s version looks like something you would expect to see on a poster advertising a 1950s ‘Action and Adventure!’ or ‘Aliens Invade!’ type of movie….. very retro.
Your design reminds me of Maoism and Communist propaganda posters for some reason.
Wow, am I glad its Friday….
Sweet! I was tempted to order a button from ALA, but I like your design better, your ordering is easier, and you have shirts, which are vastly more useful than buttons.
ALA should try to recruit you.
ALA’s buttons look like a traditional librarian: really trying to be hip, but still way too boooring. wake up, this is 2006, and someone understood, thanks Erica! GO ERICA!
But where can I get my “Radical Mutant Librarian” buttons? (Honest, that’s how I read it at first.)
Radical Militant Librarian is redundant at least twice over.
Hah! I’d buy a “Radical Mutant Librarian” button, Vampire! Definately.
¿Puede usted poner eso en cortocircuitos del boxeador?
My OS X Spanish to English translator translates that to: “You can put that in short circuits of the boxer?”
I suspect this is a request for boxer shorts? If so, yes! I’m working on it. :)
Sent the form to buy the ALA buttons, never got ‘em and the money hasn’t come out of my accout yet. So i’ll go with Erica’s. I DID go to one of those mall kiosk’s that does hat embroidery and have a bb cap done with HX821. Since most people are LC unaware it’s great.
How about a bumper sticker? It will go nicely next to “Angelides for Governor”
Erica, can you do something about this too?: http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/basics/basicrelatedlinks/adultbracelet.htm

Hi, Ginny, nice to find a fellow “Elliott” (and spelled correctly!) on this site!
While I am not a Radical Militant Librarian, I am a lowly researcher with great respect for Radical Militant Librarians. I think you should create an “I love Radical Militant Librarians.†button, for those of us who support the movement but lack the collation skills. Rock on! Defenders of the information, I solute you!
You should sell hats with the design.
