The @sunynewpaltz.bsky.social library no longer performs original cataloging, which means, in addition to no longer adding many other unique library and archives holdings, their zine collection will be frozen. Shame! 📚 oracle.newpaltz.edu/campus-libra...

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.

It's Dog Day at the @stpaulsaints.bsky.social game and there are many good dogs to see!! ⚾️🐕😇

"You’ve read a million pearl-clutching op-eds about woke professors and cancel culture, but for my money, the real crisis facing American higher education is that colleges & universities are increasingly run by people who are hostile to students & professors, &...the idea of the university itself."

165 - Backburner We’re back after a break! We’re talking about our backburner episodes. Episodes we haven’t gotten to yet, guests we’d like to have on. Also: the AI booing at commencements which was very funny.

Make the data center a public sex forest

i've been thinking about the work we're doing at varying levels to organize against AI, and maybe i've also been in the headspace of gardening and getting rid of weeds. i can't shake the feeling that AI takes up space opportunistically where people's needs are not being met. a little like weeds.

CueCats are here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about CueCats and start finding the ways that CueCats can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

I don't know how much it broke through to people who weren't on the ground in the Twin Cities during Metro Surge, but ICE agents were so horned up for violence that they did shit like shoot through closed doors and into childrens' bedrooms. It was all a power fantasy come to life for them.

If you are driving a car and become angered by a bus this should be a You Must Change Your Life moment. The gentleness of this great beast, and its great indifference, should reveal you to yourself.

a zine can be anything

Would love to be in the meeting where this was concocted. Pretty good.

I'm raising money for a father who was detained for months and forced to "self deport" to his home country. The family sold all their belongings to come to the US so he has nothing there. If you can spare a few dollars to help him get a bed, a microwave, some necessities Venmo me at Megan-Kocher-7.

Thinking about Wikipedia articles I've written through the years. I think it's neat that I got to write the article for my favorite artist, Gregory Blackstock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory... Image source: gregkucera.com/represented-... (What I wouldn't give to own this drawing!! 😍🐦)

"I want to avenge Minnesota! You don't get to just leave; you have to repair this. The love, the solidarity here has been great, but you don't just get to do this to us. God willing, when we get power back, everything they've done has to be undone. Everybody has to be prosecuted." 🌟🥰💯❤️‍🔥🙌

If you haven't taken one of the Amtrak lines between Minneapolis and Chicago, you're missing out on front-row views of the Mississippi. Today I saw a heron and dozens of bald eagles. 🚆🦅

I'd love to see LaVonnia Moore reach her goal, the fundraiser has raised $33,563 and there's less than $1,500 to go. 📚 I've donated $20 this time around, which is a lot for me since I've been unemployed for ten months. Would anyone be willing to match me?

Now's a great time to support LaVonnia Moore, a rural Georgia librarian who was fired because she approved a library display (set up by community members) that included a book featuring a transgender character. Her legal case enters the mediation process this week. 📚 www.gofundme.com/f/help-lavon...

does anyone have experience with TMS for depression? i found a place my insurance might cover, but don't know if it's worth the intensive time commitment.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Abolish ICE in its entirety and deny everyone working for them any future government employment.

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

fyi, anyone using Chrome. In addition to the steps David mentions in the article, you should also type chrome://flags in the address bar, search for 'Gemini', and set literally everything in there to 'Disabled'. And then ofc remember to do that again anytime Chrome updates.

The Chicago Pedway is a question that the city asked and left unanswered about how truly public urban space might be shaped below the streets. From writer and historian Andrew Holter: the past, present, and future of this subterranean network that has only ever been a work in progress.
