With the rising interest in physical media, be sure to check your local library out for DVDs, CDs, books, and more. It helps us keep those programs going and offers you a chance to use physical media without buying it all outright! #booksky ๐๐

Does anyone have any refillable journal/notebook recs? Looking for something with inserts that won't cost me an arm and a leg.

I cannot stand the fact that creatives are also blurring the lines of AI and making it "permissible" in our spaces. MIT is literally coming out with studies about the harm AI does to our brains. Maybe try a book for research perhaps? A single article? Anything but AI, generative or assistive?
