Take Action To Save Federal Funding for Libraries! Trump is attempting to destroy federal funding for libraries. We need you to take action today! That's why we made it easy to contact your reps, sign petitions, and learn about the Institute of Museum...

i encourge everyone to take a peek at this site & see how you can best advocate for the ILMS 📚

plus today is the first day of #nationallibraryweek so perfect time to be loud with your support 🫶🏻

#booksky #library

i hope more people turn to their libraries (which also means advocating for IMLS & library support AND showing up for your libraries outside of just borrowing books)

meanwhile, ebooks are more accessible all around. but everything has to be “for the most profit” in late stage capitalist america :-)

one thing i’m worried about as book prices inevitably go up (ty tariffs) is that ebook prices will become unattainable. i’ve seen ebooks be MORE EXPENSIVE than the physical copy of a book due to sheer demand and popularity of ebooks right now. so now that people are forced to turn to ebooks …. yeah

yes, i have been there before! a local fav for sure

scale of 1-10: what are the chances #satc would be hosted in pittsburgh next year? i promise we have a lot of cool shit to do!

“ reading isn’t political” … meanwhile politics are preventing books from being available in the US

ALSO, i was going to apply for this support position because like, that’s literally what i do and i thought it might be cool to work in the book industry. but 50+ tickets a day and the salary is maxed at $55k ???

that’s fucking insane

i’ve decided i’m just posting whatever i want, whenever i want. i can’t figure out the IG algorithm so fuck it

Example apple iPhone Apps screen with “Siri” line circled in yellow highlighter

Sample app Siri screen showing radio dial moved to the left turning off AI learning from the app

Thank you Nat’l Lawyers Guild for letting me know every single app on my IPhone had Apple AI learning from it.

Here’s how to turn it off

1. Go to settings
2. Go to Apps
3. Go down your list of apps individually and select Siri/Apple Intelligence
4. Deselect “learn from this app”

Fight Against Elon Musk’s Government Takeover ⭑ 5 Calls UPDATE (02/02/25): Musk and his DOGE team of personal allies have also now gained access to classified material including high-security intelligence …

i would also encourage everyone to read through each of the linked articles, that 5calls has put together, detailing how we got here & what he’s done

tangible action item: now is a great time to bookmark 5calls.org and set an alarm on your phone to call your reps every single day

directly from ms katherine “Musk is spearheading DOGE as "a special government employee."”

what the fuck does that even mean?

Elon Musk is barreling into government with DOGE, raising unusual legal questions The billionaire's campaign to radically upend federal agencies is stunning former White House officials, even in a political moment when many things are described as unprecedented.

we’re still supposed to go into work when an incel is literally on the verge of controlling the government from within ?

what’s the medical term for not being able to pick up a book all weekend, but devouring a book come monday morning
