Regency Era vs Bridgerton Show: Is Bridgerton a fantasy or historical show?

Column: Many people listen to an audiobook while reading it at the same time, a practice known as “immersive reading.” Listening and seeing a word simultaneously offers a new, focused way to experience literature.

Do you know the origin of Valentine's Day ? Think again!

For much of the U.S., including here in D.C., the past week or so has felt a lot like these images. 🥶 They originate from the "South Polar Times," the first newspaper published in Antarctica by members of the Discovery Expedition. Read about it in our rare book blog. ⬇️ blogs.loc.gov/bibliomania/...

Alarming data! Education can embrace technology but should not be submissive to it.

I love this ! Their audio book selection is top and goes well with my TBR 😊 if you wonder, I like to read and listen to the book at the same time (especially if there are accents involved) 😀🤓

Who really led the Global Fight to End Slavery? 🇹🇳

Fun fact about "Don Quixote," first published on this day in 1605: The publisher, not anticipating its popularity, secured publication rights only for Spain's Castile region. Pirated editions appeared in Valencia & Lisbon within months! The Library has copies of both the original & pirated editions.

“Alexandra Reeve Givens, president and CEO of CDT, told lawmakers that unchecked AI systems risk reinforcing discrimination and eroding workers’ rights if Congress fails to establish clear accountability standards.”

Azza Kamel is a founding member of Karama. She has woven her ideals and commitment to equality through her work as an activist, author, poet and writer #16days

May Pope Leo XIV's visit brings the much needed "peace" to Lebanon 🇱🇧🤍

👏🏽 @el-karama.bsky.social role is important and crucial to shed lights on Women's role in peace and security in our region and in ensuring Women are At The Top Table.

As co-founder of the Libyan Women's Platform for Peace, Zahra and her colleagues led advocacy to set a minimum level for women's political representation in Libya. That quota endures, as does LWPP's own engagement in Libya's peace process

When the war in Sudan saw her displaced from her home and education, Zohra applied the skills she learned in Wa'ed to help other girls who had been displaced. Read more about Zohra’s story on our website www.elkara.ma/zohra-khalid

As a teenager, Zohra joined the Wa'ed network for adolescent girls. There, she gained confidence and skills to talk about issues that were important to her - like climate change and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

As we begin the #16daysofactivism on international day for the elimination of violence against women and girls, Karama also marks our 20th anniversary. As we enter our third decade of activism, we celebrate the incredible women across our network, and their remarkable contributions

I first discovered this 📖 a few years ago at the diocese library. I couldn't finish reading it at the time because of my continuous travels. Now, it's a good time to dive again in history.

In the era of continuous divided attention, I wonder how would he be able to get funds for his research if he wasn't continuously fundraising in events/conferences for example?! 🤔

If you missed @cdt.org webinar, here's my take on whether AI can fully take on content moderation or not. On this specific point, I echo the work of our previous World Economic Forums' Global Future Council on Data Equity. x.com/DigiCitizens... #DataEquity #ContentModeration #AI
