Maybe I’m just interacting with the wrong system’s catalogs, but why doesn’t Polaris Vega interface have linked subject headings (never mind that we’ve move away from “subject headings” to language that is broader and, IMO, less helpful and more vague). #LibrarySky #Librarians

With how much money they’re giving Ohtani, the Dodgers might as well lay the rest of the team off and let him take all the positions. He’s basically playing the whole field as it is. What a machine.

Clearly they need to outlaw whatever beans Ohtani was fed as a child. Damn!

I’d put this down for a bit, then frogged back to the heel and picked back up again. Too bad the pair won’t be done for Halloween. Good thing it’s always Halloween in my heart. #knitsky
Also I lucked into a 2/3” ChiaoGoo interchange set today. Store owner gleefully told me it was pre-tariff price.

Why are all library webinar trainings bait-and-switches for AI propaganda? AI isn’t even mentioned in the dx and yet here I am, being told I must adopt AI.

Definitely interested in the role libraries have or should have here as a common homebase for homeschooling families.
We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.
From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."
I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵
