Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

My beloved librarians and researchers, how are we citing the deleted fed government webpages accessed via Internet Archive? Like in APA for example. #librarysky #academicsky

One thing I always try to include in my lessons on AI is an emphasis that ChatGPT is a product, created by a company, subject to the present and future whims of that company and its owners. No AI tool is a public utility, so don’t become dependent on it.

People are often surprised to find out that I am a people-pleaser because I am also an asshole.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

So I fear, based on having lived through 2017, that Tr*mp voters when they FAFO will not in fact reflect upon their own choices but will instead blame the Dems for not doing more to have convinced them to vote the other way.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Starvation is the point. Trump could have said “Comply with these demands by [x date] or I will cut off funding.” But he chose to make the pause immediate. He wants people to suffer until they obey.

Reminder that official POTUS, VP, and FLOTUS accounts switch over with each administration, so if you followed the official President Biden account, you are now following President Trump! This is true at least for Meta and X, haven’t confirmed with other platforms.

The House of My Mother by Shari Franke has been identified as the first in a likely wave of memoirs from the children of family vloggers. Franke lays out internet fame not as the origin of the abuse, but a way for her abusers to indulge their worst impulses. Definitely worth a read.
