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

Cheekface crank their Cake-y They Might Giants nerd rock indie w/ their most impressively made songs yet. Big power pop hooks, wordy quirked up lyrics, a very full groovy indie sound. Eschewing subtle anti-imperialism for bluntly political commentary. cheekface.bandcamp.com/track/no-fly... #MusicSky
The Missouri AG threatened Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia with total defunding and investigations if they read books with LGBTQ+ themes to kids in a Pride story hour. They did so anyway. Our latest story from s. Baum of one library's defiance against an oppressive Republican regime.
Missouri Library Defiantly Holds LGBTQ Story Hour Despite Funding and Legal State Threats
“This isn’t isolated to Missouri. It doesn’t end here if we don’t stop it here.”

Where are you when historic buildings pretend they couldn’t possibly add a chairlift? When museums position their collections at heights only workable for standing people over five foot four? How about when universities and workplaces refuse work from home despite having the tools?
Emily is a genius; I am extremely, genuinely thrilled for her! But also: as The Odyssey sells out books and theaters alike, Classics departments and language classes are being decimated across the US. If you want more Emily Wilsons we have to FUND SCHOLARSHIP and FUND TRANSLATION AND TRANSLATORS.
Ignacio Gallup-Diaz@igallupd.bsky.social · 2w ago“A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.” “West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.”
360+ buckaroos are being distributed and mailed to many authors under our glorious colophon. This month alone! A great way to increase this number is to buy a book. If you can't right now, the good way is to tell people to seek out these books instead. TW <3 U either way. thirtywestph.com/shop

Don't miss @lizoksbooks.bsky.social's interview about translating My Dreadful Body! (With apologies to Lisa--these types of slides that look good on social media can feel a bit over the top, & I bet you would prefer the understated... here's me trying to get social media to work for what matters.)
Punctured Lines@puncturedlines.bsky.social · 3w agoThe publication of Egana Djabbarova's My Dreadful Body by @newvesselpress.bsky.social is an important contribution to feminist russophone literature in English translation. We’re diving deeper into the context of this remarkable book in our interview w its translator, @lizoksbooks.bsky.social.
"One of the reasons I love My Dreadful Body so much is that I identify very closely with how Egana writes about the limitations that society, traditions, and family members inflict on women." @olgaz.bsky.social's Q&A with @lizoksbooks.bsky.social puncturedlines.com/2026/07/15/c...

I used to be married to an active, vibrant, happy young woman who decided one day to hang a bird feeder in the back yard, and now I’m married to a glassy-eyed, unwashed maniac that stands at the kitchen window all day screaming at squirrels.
Was it always the case that half of people would ask a chatbot to write a thank you note, a condolence card (of the 10% that write one at all)? Was it always the case that people would rather "have written" a book they didn't really write than work to produce their own art?
