It was really hard to choose a Lower East Side Librarian Library of Congress Subject Heading of the Week for Week 6, February 10, 2010.

As I said last time, I'm getting a little sick of this exercise, so I'm going to try an abbreviated version. I'll just pick one LCSH from each weekly list and dub it the Lower East Side Librarian LCSH of the Week. Week 4 of 2010's winner is...

I have to admit I'm getting a little sick of this game and also I'm becoming increasingly demoralized about the efficacy of subject headings, even if we could convince the Library of Congress to fucking acknowledge BUTCHES and FEMMES, the FAT ACCEPTANCE MOVEMENT, SEX WORKERS, FREEGANISM, and, for the love of dog, FOLKSONOMY. (See a larger list of Sandy Berman's suggestions if you don't already get the idea.)

But for some reason I can't let go, so here I give you a three for one on LCSH Watch!
