A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Nadine Naber and asking her a few questions about her Humanities Without Walls research project. It was so encouraging to hear about her work—I wish I could have shared our whole conversation, but these are the highlights!

I have been the server who would have loved that response. "This one gets it," I'd say to myself, and then explain the consistency in detail and with analogies.
Alternatively, I might reply "That soup's consistency is not ideal. Allow me to recommend a preferable alternative."

good colors!

or--hear me out--you CAN make this shit up because making shit up is their game?

Shaking the Table Shaking the Table provides perspectives and narratives of practitioners working in, or who have worked in, identity centers. This book features first-person accounts of the complexities, challenges, joy, and resistance practitioners experience while surviving and healing through and from this work.

had to watch a supposedly leftist colleague bootlick a union-busting former administrator this week and I just need to get the stink of being in the same room with them both out of my nose--helpful to see this happening!

also here in NC, hilariously?

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

“And then you have librarians who are experiencing a real existential crisis because they are getting asked by their jobs to promote [AI] tools that produce more misinformation. It's the most, like, emperor-has-no-clothes-type situation that I have ever witnessed.” - Alison Macrina
