I am deeply saddened for those public-good-committed individuals within the Library & Archives community who have had their grant funding frozen, and I am available for a call if I can be a helpful resource for navigating next steps.

Thousands of readers with qualifying print disabilities rely on platforms like @openlibrary.org because digital access is literally the only way they can read print books. These audiences shouldn't have to worry about a sudden change in policy potentially leaving them behind.

Hi, I'm @mek.fyi and for 9 years I've run the @openlibrary.org at @archive.org, where 11M patrons world-wide rely on us to preserve society's library books, many which can't be accessed elsewhere. 🎲 Markets, politics, employment could change: I pledge to keep Aaron Swartz's Open Library OPEN 📖. Why?

Honestly, no accomplishment will come close to the warm fuzzies of somehow convincing Ted and Tim to appear in the same photo. For anyone who knows the history of the web, this is a rare pepe.

Instead of an AR monocle, I just preload/cache talking points on a shirt and it makes the date go much faster (in that they're usually able to spot me and avoid sitting down to begin with).

One approach suggested for diffusing arguments is to present options "blind" to minimize preconceptions. Biases are mentioned but not affiliations of these biases.
