It’s officially happening! I’ll be leading a table in some garden-themed games. Here’s some of the beautiful art from Mycelia, a game all about cultivating and identifying mushrooms. 🍄 🍄🟫 🎲
Join for games, some QT company, and maybe even get the library (or yourself) a book while you’re there!

BREAKING: Book banning extremist group “Moms For Liberty” LOST ALL 31 of their races.
Moms for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023.
This is what happens when communities have had enough and say NO to book bans!

Fox News Ran AI-Generated Racist Videos as News, Then Tried to Cover It Up
The fake videos featured Black women with "seven baby daddies" complaining about SNAP cuts. Even if they'd been real, this would still be journalistic malpractice.

They got Claudine Gay out of the Harvard presidency over a footnote.
Ngl, seeing “you’re holding the nazi tatted racist white man to impossible standards” as a Black woman, aka the demographic ACTUALLY held to impossible standards, pisses me off deeply. The bar is so low for them and they still can’t clear it, but we’re “ideological purists” for pointing that out.

"We need to work 996 so we can show people how efficient AI can make them"
There’s a bunch of research demonstrating that shorter hours and work weeks don’t harm productivity even vs. the 40-hour week, so it’s funny that the people who consider themselves the most rational evaluators of fact alive still just want to dominate their workers for purely ideological reasons
The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.
As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

My most charitable comparison is with QR codes. There was a big push around using them in the 2010s, but you had to download a separate scanner, they weren't that reliable, and the use case wasn't entirely clear. Now, I find them useful *in certain circumstances* (but they're not the end-all be-all)
Generation before me, it was Second Life.
For my cohort, we we talking about makerspaces and 3D printers as if they were going to change every library.
My students have now gone through blockchain, NFTs, and now AI as the thing we MUST get on board with.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Recently finished @sophiegilbert.bsky.social's Girl on Girl which contextualizes the culture of the late 90s/early 00s, and what led to and surrounded the push to extreme exposure, especially for women. Highly recommend
Also useful for understanding why so many women in their 40s are full of rage

I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I've never seen an episode of 90210, or anything on Nickelodeon
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

They’re literally socially constructing gender out of sand and metal after a decade of tut-tutting about women being adult human females ONLY
A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating
Can we stop calling an artificial representation of a person by a human-coded name? "She" does not exist. "She" is a reflection of someone's ingenue dreams, but "she" is pixels and code.

I find this idea that "the sources are reliable but the thing written with those sources is not reliable" legitimately fascinating
I’ve had a number of people respond to this with “actually the reliable sources are the things wikipedia cites not wikipedia itself” or something along those lines
