Right now weโre witnessing the difference between authority and power.
Elon Musk does not have the legal authority to do any of the things he is doing. He is not authorized to shut down USAID. He is not authorized to take over OPM. He has no legal authority to access all our data and payments.
Reminder to freelance Japanese translators in the US that if you have a working relationship with at least one Japan-based agency, you can qualify for a work visa that: 1. is free for that company to sponsor, 2. allows you to work for other companies, 3. can be issued in up to five-year increments.

22.01.2025 14:49 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0There are a couple different parts to this. First, let's start with type design.
All-caps text has a higher visual density because all of the letters are the same height. The available whitespace of a given line of text is most highly filled in for all-caps text compared to mixed-case text.
...but the $6.99 plan still exists. You can switch back to it by attempting to cancel your plan in your profile. Seems kinda illegal to hide that and make us figure out by trial and error, but I thought I'd share what I discovered!

It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

I've been in the biz for 10+ years in every position you can imagine (info, circ, ILL, mending, archives, etc) and was working as an asst. circ manager at one of the largest library systems in the US before I quit, so I know some things! I've also got some great creative writing programs to share ๐

Also, please, please, please be kind to your local librarians who are running LGBTQ+ programs or are serving on book ban panels. I resigned a few years ago, but it had already become a pattern for the public to dox staff via FOIA requests and to show up both at their jobs and homes to harass them.

To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.
