It's #TransDayOfVisibility If you are a young person (13-26) wanting to read books on queer or trans topics in the US that have been restricted/banned in your area, you can. Get a card, read online. booksunbanned.com/card

Dude really needs to get a less creepy hobby jfc

Dan's been harassing various forms of us for 20+ years. This is his life's work, and it's deeply sad.

This Dan guy has screenshotted at least one of my posts about children’s right to privacy in libraries, and he is completely obsessed with “Harvard librarian” @noethematt.bsky.social. He’s an absolute crank (but symptomatic of a much broader problem).

fwiw there’s a lot of cis journalists on this site who i deeply respect and think are good people who care about trans people that nonetheless immediately side against trans women the moment one of their own is criticized. i don’t think it’s intentional but it’s definitely a pattern

Welp Guess who's now in collections for $3,459.26 of medical debt lol lmao lol Famously an amount of money I will ever possess lmao ahahaha (if any of y'all can help me chip away at this before it ruins my finances even more, I would really appreciate it; \/€nm0 is TheSpikiest)

Rudy. Rudy. Sir. Our collective pressure is not built for April Fools no more😩

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility and fuck every transphobe out there. 🏳️‍⚧️💗🏳️‍⚧️🩵🏳️‍⚧️💗🏳️‍⚧️🩵🏳️‍⚧️💗🏳️‍⚧️🩵🏳️‍⚧️💗🏳️‍⚧️🩵🏳️‍⚧️

my students in my Info Organization class tonight are going to discuss what it is and is not “appropriate” to include as citations in the 67X fields of Name Authority Records. They don’t know it yet, but they are going to drop some incredible insights. These discussions always have that effect.

Irreparable damage has already been done.

Lately I've coded with an AI bot, and I'm both stunned over what it is able to do, and surprised over how much weird and buggy code it creates. Previously AI bots created lots of spurious and dead code, I haven't seen much of that lately.

age verification is identity verification. this is an identity verification bill. do you want to make everyone verify their identity to the state right now? does that seem prudent? that's going to keep people safe? the only safe data is the kind you don't collect

A harsh reality about the Internet in 2026 is that pretty much any kind of public online information (very much including this website) is currently being scraped constantly by a gazillion actors for god-knows-what purpose. If you want control over who sees your comms, you need to use Signal.

It was very clearly a lie from the start but the current admin just keeps screaming: IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

I think the smart thing to do is buy the book–preorder it now for your library so it's in the catalog before the book banners begin bitching–and then track actual borrower data on it.

Youth is not wasted on the young. Youth is actually hard work.

Conversion therapy is abuse. I would support classifying it as such and banning the practice outright. I think the abuse classification is important because it’s the first step in being able to hold perpetrators accountable for the pain they inflict on the LGBTQ community.

Let trans people bloom. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransDayOfVisibility

it was just the balm i needed for my soul to sit in an adoptee-owed cafe with an adoptee therapist who has worked for decades with adoptees and hear her say, “Remember, no one who isn’t one of us understands us” 🥚

“yeah, well basically all software uses AI-generated code nowadays” is not really the gotcha folks think it is, unless they haven’t recently interacted with software

as a good collection development librarian, i will seek evidence of patron demand for this title 😙 🎶

the one and only @lanrickbennett.bsky.social wearing the expense shirt. 🔥🔥

I finally got around to listening to this, and it’s *really* something special. If you’re interested in (among other things) urbanism, children’s literature, coalition building, Chipwiches, or the struggle of humanism against technological oppression, you will want to hear this joyful conversation.

fake language is not language produced by a different kind of intelligence; it is *fake*, and its existence erodes mutual trust and it acts as yet another socially atomizing force against us.

incidentally, i vividly remember the Chipwich because i lost a baby tooth when biting into one.

there are so many things to be angry about but at the moment I really fucking hate the fact that I’m expected to be able to recognize AI generated slop text

🚨Abood is in danger⛔️ My brother is a disabled boy with special needs & autism. His leg is broken & he needs surgery to have a metal plate inserted.

i just learned that the grown-up position is “People will use their cars to hurt or kill you and that is just How Nature Works”

I had to do a bunch of driving today and it just sucked. Everything about car culture feels like a stressful, expensive chore that drains the actual joy out of moving from A to B.

Cinnamon bread. Cheese whiz. & Olives. M'k'scuse'the'fuck ?!

HEY MASSACHUSETTS!! This is the other call to action from @bostonswac.bsky.social! Details at the link in the OP.

first lunchtime foray into my beloved pine grove since November

hey friends! can we raise $1600 to pay the rent for an ICE-impacted family? my venmo is @ziibiing cashapp $ziibiing paypal [email protected]

the information environment in Israel is unbelievably fucked. it wasn't great before Oct 7 and it's been catastrophic since.

New Onion Headline: Why Do All These White Supremacists Keep Agreeing With My Constitutional Interpretations?

“To state the problem simply, the incentives to produce high-quality information for public consumption are awful. And they’re getting worse with the explosion of AI.”

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

how’s that big tent party going

Warren is my senator and she is good on matters of finance (because that’s her specialty) but is total shit on matters of identity. Remember when she claimed Indigenous heritage? She just doesn’t “get it” when it comes to issues that pertain to BIPOC.

Sen. Warren is problematic.

"The internet is only for people over 19 with an ID. Israel has a right to defend herself against seeing brown people. Trans people don't belong in public. ICE needs better training. We're being culturally normal."

yes i’m a name dropper. what’s your name again?
