I'm coming to the end of this project!!! Was it necessary for me to do a deep dive on each library system in the area? No, but it was really fun and I'm excited to share what I found! The question is now do I want to leave it as a boring document or adapt it into a zine or website hmmmmmm....

I've started writing up a resource about public libraries in the area for my mutual aid group!!! I'm really excited to help educate others and get them engaged with the library! Yay! I'm also planning to adapt it into a general guide. I just want more folks to support the public library!!!

I'll admit that most of my time on BSky is with the OnlyPosts feed. Otherwise I find Bsky overwhelming with all of the reposts. 😅 The biggest downside with OnlyPosts is I don't see threads/replies on posts, plus lately it's been breaking a lot more. But overall, I like it! bsky.app/profile/skyf...

Today is August 7, which is my birthday. Please observe the feast by mindfully completing no fewer than one of the following rituals: • sleep in/take a nap • eat something delicious • draw something for fun • wear something that makes you feel beautiful

This week I've been trying to spent 20 minutes/one "task" per day in my sewing room to clean it up. It's going well! The problem with doing this before work is now all I want to do is be at home to continue cleaning 😭🥲

When we talk about the importance of funding libraries and library workers - this is the result of being down just *six* people across the entire city of Chicago. Wherever you live, libraries have been running on shoestrings for years and years. Fighting for funding improves service you use!

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Okay I'm not going to lie, having a dinosaur themed summer reading program at the library has been amazing. I was feeling lackluster about next year's mystery theme. But the sneak peek of the artwork is already adorable! I can't wait to see more of it! Artwork by Laurie Conley

A poster by Laurie A. Conley for the Collaborative Summer Library Program. The artwork features three people facing away from the viewer in a library. The illustration is primarily blue with yellow accents from the light. One person in a wheelchair points a flashlight up to the text reading "Mysteries Await at Your Library." The person in the middle with curly hair points to different books and clues floating around the library. The last person stands in shock. In the library are different details such as: illuminated footsteps on the floor, a folder reading "Top Secret," a pair of eyes peering from a book shelf, and a mouse carrying keys on a nearby table. Two artworks, presumably by Laurie A. Conley. The one on the top features a mouse wearing a sweater and glasses reading next to candle light with the text "Mysteries Await at Your Library" below. The second is a mouse burglar carrying a large set of keys away.

As adults we're told playing is childish, but I truly believe allowing yourself to play is one of the keys to happiness and creativity. I have been playing with paper recently and it boosted my art. I wanna get me some wooden toys and lego now. Playing is not just for kids, it's for everyone! ✨🌼

A digital illustration showing the phrase "Don't Forget To Play" in the middle with vibrantly coloured letters on a white background.
There is a frame around it along the border with cute little simply drawn objects: houses, trees, a truck, a bus, some birds, stars and some traffic lights next to the bus. Everything eminates some childlike wonder and is very colourful.

Not to soap box about this but i feel that ppl in the english indie comics space should hear it: creating doujinshi/self published comics without the stamp of a prestigious fair or an indie publisher does not make you any less of a comic artist. drawing comics makes you a comic artist.

I thrifted this big ArtBin that was missing a clip and found a 3D print file online. Then I got it printed at the library, hurray! It makes me happy to be able to replace something so small easily hehehe.

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

seattle folks, you got ballots in the mail. And if you are the type who used to just check The Stranger, well; it was bought out in 2024 by a former politician, and coincidentally their political endorsements have lost the mandate of heaven. this cheat sheet shows you who has endorsed who:
