jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI 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.

Hey! Hope you’re doing well! I just signed Greenpeace’s pledge to tell Trump: Hands Off Our Ocean. Deep sea mining would bring toxic pollution, deafening noise, and irreversible harm to one of the last untouched places on Earth. We can still stop it – will you sign too? act.gp/3TGdxyc
