Okay, Skybrarians, I shouldn’t have to say this, but: Banned Books Week starts next week, and this is a friendly reminder that you should NOT shorten it in any of your posts or copy to “BBW”.

Anyone who has ever made commercial art will tell you "everyone" is not a target demographic.
Make your art as specific as you can and don't water it down for anyone. Find your audience.

I saw the mulch attempt at Calvin and Hobbes. It is Anti-Life. And the dude was proud of it, so proud of his little chunk of anathema, so proud that he typed some words and had a program spit out this cursed content.

Solano County, CA: Charcoal is desperately searching for a CH cat savvy forever home, preferably with no other cats, or one or two calm/older cats. She has moderate-severe cerebellar hypoplasia and uses washable pee pads as she cannot use a litter box.

"Everyone is welcome" is drastically different from "we built this with you in mind." People don't want to go where they are merely tolerated, they want to go where they are included.
This is by Terrence Lester, a Black scholar.
Effective inclusion requires a lot of empathy.

I’ve been told, “But why get a ramp when no one in a wheelchair ever comes here?” not once but *twice* in bookshops. ♿️ Followed by the ever-popular, “But it’s just a *small* step…” 🙄
"we don't need to accommodate [X] because people with [X] don't come here"
Yes, and why might that be? Is there some reason those people don't ACCESS this space?

I'm not sayin I told y'all, but I fuckin said it from the start. Privacy is a pipe dream with those things.
Okay this is a) a hot nonsense nightmare of truly egregious proportions and b) exactly the kind of shit we warned you amazon and other were going to start doing, as soon as they had voice modeling tech.
"Amazon will use real user conversations to train Alexa's AI model"

The disclosure that Amazon would train its AI from real user conversations came in a Bloomberg TV interview.

I liked "skeet" more than I like this idea of "discourse." Skeet's got a greasiness to it, a tacit acknowledgment of the bad takes and dick pics lurking close to the surface. Discourse implies some level of civil formality, which is wildly amusing in context.

Oh and btw the solution to "not everyone has the time to dedicate to art, you classist" is not "AUTOMATE ALL THE THINGS AND DON'T PAY ARTISTS" it's "VALUE ALL LABOR SO THAT PEOPLE ARE PAID FAIRLY AND CAN LIVE AND MAKE ART IF THEY WANT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE"

Liz Hand's Wylding Hall - one of the absolute best gothic horror books ever - is on sale today for $1.99 at Amazon (which means probably other places as well, if they're not your thing). It is unbelievably good: amzn.to/3rHepYG (affiliate link)

A lot of non-ADHD'ers assume ADHD is just about attention or productivity or whatever, but executive function impacts every part of our lives.
Looking after our health requires executive function. So does managing money, navigating policy, and having meaningful relationships
