For National Library Week, we can't recommend enough @shannonmattern.bsky.social's 2014 essay "Library as Infrastructure."

A decade on, it remains a potent argument for libraries as social, technological & intellectual infrastructure — part of a critical network of institutions buoying public life.
Library as Infrastructure
Reading room, social service center, innovation lab. How far can we stretch the public library?

Here is a somber truth of creative life. If it goes well, people will begin to ask you for things. Each of those things, no matter how kind or flattering or genuine or even beneficial to your own career and finances as well as someone else's, will pull you from your true purpose.

For some reason I thought Mongol nomadism was already in the list of UNESCO Intangible Heritage list.

Apparently getting added only now.

Not a nomad, but forever grateful for the summers I had at grandma's. Won't ever forget how her GER got flooded & we moved to higher grounds on yak carts.
