Guess I picked a great day to stay offline, writing plant names on labels at the cemetery, and doing article revisions. I'm just gonna close the laptop again and read a book.

Again, the revenue they are sharing w/ Nazis is money YOU spend on your fave substackers. If you're accepting paid subscriptions on substack— and putting content behind a pay wall—you are inherently asking your readers to share that money w/ Nazis. "You can't read this unless you give Nazis money."

I also want to emphasize that these little actions are inconvenient for me. I have the capacity to summon a few precious minutes of executive function, and tolerate a tiny bit of discomfort to adjust my habits. Then I don't have to think about it as actively. (More time to perserverate!)

I appreciate the current encouragement for doing something every day towards change. Today I canceled all my Substack subscriptions and deleted my account. Earlier this week I canceled my Target card and joined Costco. I share this bc I think it matters but it's also tedious and boring!

We heard over and over how “from the river to the sea” was irrefutably a call to genocide while a literal nazi salute was just a silly misunderstanding some quirky guys have been doing

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Is now a good time to say that Things I didn't Learn at Library school is back in print featuring new AI grievances, rants about hollow performance of decolonising library collections, plus all my usual hot takes on the exploitation of labour in libraries. coolschmool.bigcartel.com/product/thin...

A bunch of catalogers on the PCC list not understanding the inherent conservatism of LC administration. Sure, they technically could interpret a rule in a way which would go against an executive order, but they're definitely not going to. Don't look to LC for courage, library friends. #critcat 📚

You know, just sending emails to the Library of Congress and posting to the work teams to rally the other library workers to do the same. I guess it's good to rage in our lane?

Also encourage people to email LC to oppose this proposed revision, which was announced a few hours ago (with comments deadline of today 😡). Your email can be short (1-3 sentences) and can focus on impact to your patrons. #critcat #LCSH #cataloging 📚

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.
