This is a long shot, but does anyone have access to Dominique Lobstein’s “Dictionnaire des indépendants, 1884 - 1914” and be willing to check an artist for me?! Can pay back with anything from the NCAD Library 📚📜🎨

to me LLM use in writing classrooms begs the q of why we'd want to cede the human, world-making acts of thinking, being wrong, asking, figuring out, etc., as if those are uninteresting, ungermane. skipping over living to get to the point of life? no! who teaches us to want this? who benefits?

Where to even start with this? The idea that using AI is a ‘method you can use to research something’ is absolutely desperate. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Having something in the Irish University Review is a little bit of a pinch-me moment! Huge thanks to my co-authors, @lcollins232.bsky.social and all IUR team! Wonderful to highlight this fascinating part of UCD Special Collections and the NGI Yeats Archive 📚 🖼️

“Libraries are not neutral — no institution or body of people can ever truly be. In fact, claiming neutrality creates a chilling effect and facilitates the suppression of dissenting voices by mainstream ones.” 👇

Yep. And also, terrible for abortion rights, terrible for trans rights, and terrible for migrant rights (even second or third generation). Great for tech giants generally and Elon Musk specifically. And these things are initially American issues but they will become global issues, too.

Art should remain at the boundaries… where ‘contentious issues are kept in check’? What a thing to read.

For fuck sake, writers, STOP USING AI ART. Stop using it on your book covers, stop using it in your book promos, stop using it to show what your OCs look like, stop using it as "inspiration," STOP USING IT. You want your artform respected, respect other artforms. There is no ethical use. None.

At the Chester Beatty, swatches of fabric in centuries-old books help reveal Ethiopia’s place in global trade networks. Researchers studying fabrics in Ethiopian books, 1400s–1900s, have found they came from as far west as England, as far east as China. dublininquirer.com/2...

Posters for Georg Kaisers’s ‘Gas’ from Ukraine and Estonia, and Harry Kernoff’s costume designs for the Dublin production in 1930 - stage designs also feature in the room 🫶 Now showing at IMMA as part of their self-determination exhibition. I think Kernoff would have been delighted with this!
