Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.” No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post. Compliance ≠ usability. Day 23 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

Just in case you need another reason to hate Amazon.

New: I found 517 likely AI-generated nonfiction books for kids on Amazon, often aping the "Who Was?" or "Little People, Big Dreams" series. Amazon earns royalties and ad revenue from the books I identified; it also literally prints some of them through Kindle Direct Publishing.

I'ma tell you all what I tell my clients. You feel bad because it is bad. You are unmotivated to go to work because the world is on fire & the government is sending people to kidnap children and adults & maiming people who try to stop them. You are having a normal reaction to obscene circumstances.

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up.” The movie ‘A Bug’s Life’ has a lot to teach us about power.

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

An LLM does not "help you write your books". An LLM prevents you from writingyour books, while you are helping the LLM generate its books.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

If that’s the case, I will happily remain “out of touch.” AI has no place in my practice of librarianship.

🧵 This is a perfect example of how disordered discourse reshapes democratic politics, not by policy failure, but by the performative targeting of identity. Let’s unpack what’s happening.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Someone needs to, if they have not already, started a GoFundMe to repurchase these books and more on the same topics. You want to burn/hide/check out and not return our books? We’ll replace them every time you do, and we’ll buy more. You will not defeat the public library.

What a wonderful tribute to libraries. I love Dr. Hayden so much and I’m so deeply sad that she has been fired.

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

To quote carbonizedstardust from Threads, its time to understand which government is responsible for what in #Canada & stop ignorantly blaming the wrong government. "Can’t afford a house? That’s your province. Can’t afford rent? That’s your province. ..." ... continued in the comments. #CanadaSky

Canadian Independent Bookstore Day is on April 26th! We’re very fortunate in this country to have absolutely amazing indies and if you’re looking for some local Canadian businesses to show some love, we’ve got suggestions! We can't name every shop, but here are some we'd love to give a shout-out to.

When I was in high school one of my family members transitioned. They went from being angry all the time to being hopeful and excited about life. Once you’ve seen how life-changing (life-giving?) transitioning is, it is impossible not to support it. Transitioning saves lives. Full stop.
