I know this isn't targeted at librarians but I'm very proud of having been part of this project and think it probably has a lot of useful ideas that apply more broadly, especially in academic libraries. "Where the Money Resides: Demystifying Academic Job Negotiations." hcommons.org/deposits/ite...

Library friends: I'm planning a blog post about negotiating during a job offer. Will you share with me what you negotiated? Or what you wish you would've negotiated? I'd like to give people a sense of the range of things they can ask for. 📚
I am so excited that we are 30% funded after just one day!! 😭 This is only my second fundraiser and I'm just astonished what we can achieve together. Thank you to everyone who's donated or shared!

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

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

I'm working on setting up a fundraiser for a librarian friend who just lost his job, and I'm afraid it won't be successful, that I won't be able to help enough. It feels like so many people are struggling.

I think one reason that prisons, and by extension the entire criminal justice system, are able to be as barbaric as they are is that prisons and prisoners are for the large part invisible. That's why I think PJP is so important for those inside as well as for humanity at large
Prison Journalism Project@prisonjournalism.bsky.social · last wk.News: Our summer campaign concludes tomorrow at midnight, which means time is rapidly running out to take advantage of the $15K matching funds provided by generous donors.

I'm hiding a stuffy of the bad seed/good egg from Jory John's food picture books series. I move it every Monday. All summer long kids have been yelling "let's go look for the bad seed!" which just makes me laugh. #LibraryLife #PublicLibraries
I bought this coffee table from my neighbors who are moving. It has a secret compartment. What am I putting in here??

The time is nigh to make that zine you've always wanted to do! All you have to lose is your spare time!
Mr. Completely@brokensymmetry.art · 2w agoSo not only is it here and it's a great classic zine - an obsessive, loving dive into a cool cultural niche - it has me 100% sold on the zine revival concept now that digital print design has been democratized. Check this thing out, it looks great. Makes me want to do one and see lots of others
