New OA article just out on "assetizing academic content" led by @jkom.bsky.social with me, @keanbirch.bsky.social & Klaus Beiter, exploring how academic materials are turned into value-generating digital assets by HE institutions, edtech platforms, and AI companies link.springer.com/article/10.1...

If they're going to make me teach AI, they're going to get my version of AI

This thread......

This is wonderful.

Has your partner ever built you a home in a chimney? Or regurgitated food to save you all that tiresome chewing? If not, perhaps it’s time to look beyond the human dating pool. Check out the very first Narwhal quiz, and find your Canadian lovebird. projects.thenarwhal.ca/lovebirds-qu...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Whoa.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I do quite like “hearts up, heads down”.

It’s great to see this — but I also wish journalists would acknowledge colleagues, even those at smaller, specialist venues, who’ve been on the beat *for years*. @heykellyjensen.bsky.social has long been following this front skillfully and tirelessly.

There’s no such thing as an unbiased chatbot. Academic librarian Raina Bloom @mmelibrarian.bsky.social on how “AI” developers ignore how people actually become informed. From Ep. 51 of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, “The War on Knowledge”. (with @emilymbender.bsky.social)

thank you for everything you did for we here and for the library and information science profession, fobazi. you were an incredible friend, thinker, writer, supporter. you’ll be dearly missed 🤍

Enormous loss for librarianship. Fobazi’s impact on the profession is indescribable. Peace to her friends and family. How honored we all were to know work and call her a colleague.

I'm pleased to have co-authored a new article out today in the Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship. Kevin Sanders, @sluginkpress.bsky.social, and I reflect on the Radical Librarians Collective and how we situate radical librarianship alongside critical librarianship. doi.org/10.33137/cja...

The new Harriet Powers USPS postage stamps are so moving. Featuring details from formerly enslaved Powers’s “Pictorial Quilt” of 1898, I’m so glad these stamps will bring her work & life story to more people, especially when so much Black history is being erased from the public realm right now 💌

our Issue 0! CFP for Issue 1 coming soon “The humanities are not peripheral to the tasks of librarianship, but, when approached with the right tools, very frequently touch upon the exposed nerve of what makes libraries tick today.” cuny.manifoldapp.org/projects/hum...

The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

Someone needs to take that guy’s internet away.

Last term I ran a few seminars for research about/by Librarians and Schol Comms folks. You can access the videos here: cassyni.com/series/KVXBf... Now it's time to find some more speakers - do you have a research project you'd like to talk about? Tell me! forms.office.com/e/RM82jweEjT #Librarians

Donald Trump’s so-called "Board of Peace" is offensive. Mark Carney must reverse his decision to join Trump in this transparently colonial scheme. 1/4

This sounds really cool and something I wish I could review for an art publication

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

The fun thing about courage is that it’s contagious.

A favorite sign from today's NYC protest march

BLOW THE TRUMPET! katinamagazine.org/content/arti... "while libraries are excellent at promoting collections, workshops, and other internal initiatives, we could be bolder in promoting the library itself as infrastructure essential to today’s civic and academic life"

hey! hey!!! if you are an academic of any rank in the critical tech studies space who cares about how money, finance, and business structures work in science and technology, i want to see your abstracts for a collected volume! they're due tomorrow!!! https//oddletters.com/tech-money/

Just outside and check out the moon and Jupiter.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time. It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

We just celebrated NYE in Animal Crossing cuz we wanted 2025 to end NOW. No regrets.

I wrote about that part of the impact of the STCA a few months ago ... truthout.org/articles/can...

An oldie but a goodie.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
