This is a very serious problem for libraries, archives, and knowledge-keepers of all kinds. If you don’t control access to your collections, *you do not have collections.* If we do not have permanent access to records, stories, & sources of knowledge then our histories and memories are not our own.

"In 2022, Wiley removed over 1,300 ebooks from academic library collections; [they said] perpetual access is not an option for subscribed content. In 2025, Clarivate,... announced they would stop offering libraries perpetual access licenses for ebooks and primary-source digital collections."

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

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

On this day in #Liason History...7/31/2002 Jason promises to leave Zander alone...for Elizabeth. #GH #LiasonReunionNow

Liason 7/31/02 - Hopefully, He Makes You Happy

A visibly upset Jason comes to Elizabeth studio to tell her he thought about all she's done to protect Zander and that he hopes Zander makes her happy. Jason doesn't want her to look at him like he's some kind of animal because he has to retaliate against Zander so he tells her he won't for her.

3. Mark Carney you rat. You tried to sell out high-speed rail (a signature Liberal promise and signature part of a low-carbon mass transit nation-building project) just to use as a bargaining chip. Abundantly clear that every Liberal policy in this country is for sale for the right price

That's because "firefighter" is a specific job title with specific pay and benefits. By classifying them as Resource Technicians, the province can pay them less than they'd pay a municipal firefighter. They've been fighting for years to be reclassed as firefighters with no progress.

The next time you hear a government spokesperson thank "all the brave firefighters fighting the wildfires in northern Ontario", here's a little fact to tuck in your back pocket: By the Ontario government's own doing, they are not, in fact, "Firefighters", they are "Resource Technicians".
