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

I'm trying out a new offering: custom building illustrations. There are limited spots open now, but more may open up depending on demand. Have you ever wanted an illustration of a particular building? Your home, a favorite building, a place you used to love when you were younger...now's your chance.

Headstone for Eugene Williams, whose murder was the first in a wave of racialized violence in Chicago in the summer of 1919. 102 years after his death, a group of people determined to see him remembered & honored were successful in getting his grave marked.

Color photo taken in Lincoln Cemetery in Blue Island of the grave marker placed for Eugene Williams, a child who accidentally floated over an invisible border at a segregated Chicago beach and was murdered for it, touching off days of racialized violence in 1919. The marker is extremely shiny in this shot and has a lot of difficult to transcribe text, but the dates alone remind us of just how young he was at the time of his death: EUGENE WILLIAMS MARCH 10, 1902 - JULY 27, 1919
