now my opinion on man v. bear?

what? you want my opinion on the other issue going around bsky today? ok i'll bite! standardized testing is not fit for purpose in its current incarnation and i don't care if students need more time to answer your bullshit trick questions they rarely test ACTUAL important knowledge anyway

So very much, universe. Please.

controversial opinion: the person with more money should pay for dinner because they have more money so it kind of just makes sense that way

Almost certainly the best photo I will ever take from an Iron Age Hill fort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn.

A favorite from my collection - this luminous little one from the 1960s.

I’m holly, I’m jolly. You’ve got believe me. I swear I am

on the reference desk and apparently just missed 💪A FLEX OFF💪 between a custodian and a student. working in Staten Island is.... SOMETHING.

You should be allowed to take all of December off of work for crafting purposes

Cognitive dissonance theory + misinformation research + the replication crisis, all in one podcast episode?🤓😻🤤 youtu.be/IhblbZDXfZU?...

I don’t need AI to help me talk to myself. I have a native interface for it even.

Just a reminder to anyone spending time with family today: BE THE WEIRD AUNT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

leaving the house has become simpler since embracing "unhinged" as my chief aesthetic #CroneCore

OREGON if you want a big buddy I have great news for you

faking it till you make it is great but have you tried being mediocre at a job for 20 years and continuing to critically assess your own competency until the day you retire?

lol i KNEW this post in our local fb group would cause problems and here i see it has made it to the news! i really need to start a fb drama podcast. Kristin wants to call it "where's the beef?"😆 patch.com/new-jersey/m...

what are some good holiday card prompts? like for ME, not a chatbot because that's what i get when i google and i just want a prompt that gets me started writing human words for my human friends.

Happy St Katherine's Day to all scholars, librarians, and Katherines. May you win an argument against an annoying man today, in the true spirit of Katherine herself.

after much thought about what to bring to my (large) family thanksgiving (a holiday i am as much grossed out by as i enjoy, tbh) i've decided on a case of topo chico (glass bottles) and a bottle of veuve for the hosts. i will leave the pies to the experts.

Come for the article about the British Library hack, stay for the impromptu reading group that pops up in the replies (my librarian heart grew three sizes just now)

if you were trying to recreate a vintage camp logo what font/s would you use? (this is definitely not me picking up a project from 18 billion years ago but also this is me with every project since quarantine-times.)

RSS was one of the best internet technologies and they just can't stop trying to kill it i hate this timeline

I've always been convinced that video podcasts exist to force creators to be reliant on a closed distribution platform. Podcasts are built on tech (RSS) that nobody can own. Every major tech company has wanted to migrate podcasts to something proprietary, but it never sticks. Video is their answer.

i recently saw an opportunity to get trained to help out with prison libraries in some way does anyone know/remember anything about this sort of thing in the nyc area? i can't remember if i saw it on here or one of the listservs.

Okay guys we've almost made it through the week just hang in there we can do it

networking is an incredibly important part of maintaining a professional presence in your creative industry, but it can be daunting. have you tried being completely fucking ridiculous online

“I’ve listened to tens of thousands of hours of podcast episodes on this exact topic!” never hits as hard as I need it to

what part of "american society was completely ok with old dudes fucking literal children for a very long time" do we not understand? (jk- i have always hated these fuckers and i will not mourn the deaths of their careers if ANYONE ever actually ends up getting punished for it.)

hello i want to work at a university that ACTUALLY critically appraises EdTech "solutions" before implementing them PLEASE and THANK YOU

i remember some years back i listened religiously to the shortwave science podcast, and the host ended every interview with "i appreciate you", and now i notice that like everyone says that? students say it to me; custodians say it to me; cashiers say it to me; professors say it to me...etc Etc ETC
