There's a company selling AI audiobook "narration" software @seattlein2025.org... next to the @marthawells.com signing line. (It looks like the company did not mention AI in the description they provided to the con and they share a booth with an author so they may have just snuck it in...)

This—what Trump is doing now in trying to destroy American universities, research, and free speech while blaming it on pretend offense to the Jews is certainly the most profoundly antisemitic act I’ve seen from US government in my lifetime.
The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name.
That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

Meta is bad. I mean. Really bad.
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

Everyone is one illness away from a disability. Period.
I wasn't medically vulnerable (or so I thought) until I got COVID. You don't really know that you're not either, even if you've had COVID before. I think that woman who knowingly went to ALA with COVID deserves scorn, but what about the people who didn't care enough (5/7)

Is it me or is Amazon using "we're putting ads on our streaming unless you pay $2.99/month" as a massive media distraction because they don't want people to notice that they're going to start charging a substantial fee on all physical returns?

The entire country, almost, has banned the teaching of our history.
They're erasing understandings about the truth of white supremacy, facts people fought generations to teach.
This is a now or never moment--we have to fight while we're the ones who still know. Who can remember. Who can teach.

I had a client in NH, a school, and I worked with them for a year. Word was that they couldn't bring me back because of these changes. Northern folks need to wake up to what's happening in their own backyard.
