Making "AI caricatures" is trending again, so I though I'd share the trick I used to make my profile pic. I just followed these two simple steps: 1. I identified an artist whose style I wanted to replicate. 2. I *PAID THE ARTIST* to actually draw a portrait. (1/X)

This is a larger version of my profile picture. It was drawn by Tara O'Connor. She writes and illustrates lot of great graphic novels -- check them out! Yes, my eyebrows really are that big.

Despite all the handwringing about “intellectual diversity” the reality is that higher ed exposes young people to a vastly different array of people and experiences than almost anything else you can do.

going to college, living in an international dorm and meeting brown kids from africa, dark-skinned kids with african features from india, spanish-speaking chinese kids from argentina, and many others changed the way i understood the world in some pretty fundamental ways

Don't just tell the staff, although that's important. Write a note to the branch manager, system director, and maybe even the collections dept. Post about it on their Facebook page. Talk about it at library board meetings.

Yes, telling librarians you appreciate their inclusive collections is a good thing. Even better is putting that appreciation in writing to administrators and boards so that the librarian has a record of your remarks and contact info in case support is needed in the future.
