So, let me get this straight - we don't trust students to use AI to produce accurate assignments, but we trust DOGE to use it to decide who stays and who goes?

Libraries are not anti-commerce. They are public institutions that balance access with sustainability. IFLA’s position on copyright acknowledges both intellectual property and the necessity of broad knowledge dissemination. A strong literary market includes strong libraries

this also just feels like a big eff you to libraries with smaller budgets who can't just purchase giant packages.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

I'm plagiarizing my alt-account to speak up about what's happening in academic libraries right now. This week, Clarivate sent an announcement explaining that it was killing off it's DDA and single-title book purchase programs and replacing it with a subscription model. 1/?

“I had a lot of conversations with my Republican colleagues last night, and a couple of them broke down in tears—saying that they are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment.” Pardon my french but fuck these motherfuckers. You’re in positions of power and you’re the one crying?

The loathing I feel in my heart is more real than this fake ass remorse. You know damn well why you voted the way you did (and all the shit you probably talked leading up to it.) I hope you get exactly what you voted for others to endure.

So yeah, even after a bunch of accidents that highlighted FAA staffing shortages they still went ahead and fired FAA staff. They don't know what they are doing.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Goodnight, dear friends. On a day when our government continues to try to erase the existence of transgender folks, be encouraged to keep up the fight, keep up the love. Power to the people. I love you.

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong chronic illness. It cannot be cured, now or in the future. Insulin keeps us alive. It costs around $2 to make a vial of insulin that’s then priced at hundreds of dollars bc we die w/o it. It’s fucking immoral & inhumane. Insulin should be free.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“DEI” being another way of not having to talk about anti-blackness is pretty infuriating. So many opportunities to properly engage this linguistic obfuscation when the right went after “critical race theory,” “woke,” and “affirmative action,” but nope not really.
