As someone from Massachusetts, who got her library degree in Seattle, I love every part of this story. "We are always on the same team in supporting the freedom to read!" 🥹
My old pal @eniiler.bsky.social with a killer story. What we save defines us as a culture—the archive is our memory and our future. And we’re throwing it away? Madness.

Instead, Caulfield says we have to abandon the idea that videos or images mean anything whatsoever out of context.

Rosa Parks "featherlite" pancakes recipe. Sift together 1 C flour, 2 T B. Powder, 1/2 t salt, 2 T sugar. Mix 1 egg, 1 1/4 C Milk, 1/3 C peanut butter melted, 1 T shorting or oil. Combine with dry ingredients. Cook at 275° on griddle.
