When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

A Curse Against Stealers Of Books For him that stealth a book from this place, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, & all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying aloud for mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his agony till he sink to dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Worm that diets not, & when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of hell consume him forever & aye. (Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

MONOCHROME 2026 The model, entirely covered in makeup and a transparent glaze, appears to merge with the space. Only reflections, shadows, and points of light then sculpt the volume and separate the subject from the background.
