Virtual Event on Thurs 11/12! Who gets to build on existing creative work? Where does reuse end and copyright infringement begin? Join us for Remix Culture and the Stories We Share, w/ cartoonist Alec Robbins, author Liz Gotauco, and copyright expert Meredith Rose. RSVP: tinyurl.com/2bat3dhj

Remix Culture and the Stories We Share A Virtual Event with the Future Knowledge Podcast Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET What happens when artists take familiar characters and stories and make them their own? Cartoonist Alec Robbins explored that question in Mr. Boop, his surreal comic about a man married to Betty Boop. Librarian and author Liz Gotauco takes a different approach in F*d Up Fairy Tales, reimagining the fairy tales and familiar stories that have shaped our culture. Both offer unexpected ways to think about the stories we inherit, and what happens when we reshape them. But remixing culture also raises serious questions. Who gets to build on existing creative work? Where does reuse end and copyright infringement begin? And how do we keep culture open to new interpretations? As we look ahead to Public Domain Day on January 1, join us Thursday for Remix Culture and the Stories We Share, a conversation about borrowing, building, and reimagining the creative works that shape our culture. Featuring cartoonist Alec Robbins (Mr. Boop), librarian and author Liz Gotauco (F*d Up Fairy Tales), and copyright expert Meredith Rose of Public Knowledge.

Graphics from the cover of my book F*cked Up Fairy Tales, designed by Sarahmay Wilkinson, featuring an old public domain image of Cinderella peeling vegetables in front of her scoffing stepsisters. But Sarahmay put googly eyes over everyone, and a thought cloud of Cinderella cursing.

The right day to call your re-elected Democratic officials is in fact today: to congratulate, sure, but to insist that the new Congress take its responsibility seriously. Call em once a week between now and January. I'm not kidding. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Apropos this, I just want to put it on the table that almost all of these flips that happen tonight are largely result of years of work on the ground by Black & (in Texas) Hispanic community organizers and voters. They didn't just happen.

I hope Stacey Abrams is having the best time tonight. So much of what is happening in Georgia right now is because of her incredible work, and she should be celebrated for it.

Starting a nonprofit where middle-aged librarians can donate the cardigans that they can no longer wear because of peri/menopause, and the sweaters go to newly minted MLIS candidates. Needs a clever name though.

I used to be a library conference busybody but these days I'm more like a library conference cryptid. Did you see a Liz there? Did she seem approachable? (She is but she may be skittish.) Was that a Liz by the water cooler? Is Liz real?

I can't overstate how happy I am every time I see that my book is checked out on Libby. I don't think I've ever looked it up and found it available. And I know I'm in the smallest state, but I like to pretend it's a nationwide problem for readers. 😂
