We need your help! Our printer stopped working in December! It won't print in black or color. Students print their work & I print resources. It costs $179. I'd be so grateful for help w/a $10 gift card or RT.❤️

Yes, it's fine. They sponsor some excellent local non-profits!
I want to read a nonfiction but not overly difficult book about the history of US-Iraq relations since WWII, and by “read” I mean audiobook or podcast series, whatcha got? Historians? Librarians?
I’m so grateful for this nod from Ebony.

Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
hello librarian friends can anyone who works in ILL (especially with ILliad) tell me how you are dealing with title II and PDFs that are sent directly to users? how are you making sure they're accessible? 📚📜
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
The thing about building something new from scratch is that it is a leap of faith. Are there people out there doing well-being work who will submit proposals? Are people interested in attending? Will the pricing structure work? How do you get the word out when Library Twitter is no more? #thrivelib
Our consortium catalog goes down regularly because of AI bot scraping. It's really depressing.
So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?
Post links if you can.
Buy stuff if you can.
They hate when people stand up.

Library folks, we need to be paying attention to this. I will keep saying it. bookriot.com/the-enshitti...
Obvious ai manipulation on the left. Original photo by David Batcheller on the right. Look at the wings, feather shape, head, neck and bill shape, lack of tail etc. This is way more than a filter and absolutely destroys the joy and wonder of the original.
So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.
Oh noooooooo. My one Easter candy joy!!!
A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her
Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.
She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.
Boyfriend opened fire on her car
We aren’t angry enough.
that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it
anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

#Boulder, we have a fire south of Chautauqua, named #BluebellFire. Fire up your Watch Duty app. Low wind, but warm, so should be containable.
And we have an evac warning for SW Boulder.
