Mychal Threets, known for his lively presence at the Solano County Public Library, recently announced his resignation in an Instagram video, citing a need to prioritize his mental health.

Threets had made a video recently about mental health issues that his social media presence hadn't helped. Thanking the library for being a place where he felt safe and belonged, the 33-year-old, known for his infectious "library joy" on TikTok, expressed gratitude for receiving the I Love My Librarian Award from the American Library Association.


Despite stepping away from his librarian role on March 1, Threets remains committed to literacy advocacy and lobbying for library funding in Congress, especially crucial in the current climate of nationwide debates on banned books. His work with PBS, announced a week earlier, will continue, he confirmed.

Threets' many followers wished him well and said how proud they are of him for taking care of himself.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down where so-called "millennial cringe" comes from to Gen Z voters after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

The term "millennial cringe" has gained popularity among Gen Z to mock the optimistic Internet culture of the 2010s. Ocasio-Cortez said "millennial cringe" is understandable when you consider the impact millennials had by electing Barack Obama, who became the nation's first Black president.
