FYI the library committee hearing on the preliminary budget has been moved from March 12 to March 18. I think you have to sign up anew if you signed up previously to testify in person or via zoom. docs.google.com/document/d/1... - I just signed up again but this time for March 18.
You won't be able

I know that @fractalecho.bsky.social and @lizjackson.bsky.social wrote a great piece on a related topic: how disability tech and technologies of war and violence are entangled for @thenewrepublic.bsky.social
It’s a must read to understand disability and AI discourse

my beloved trans community: do you feel like you transitioned late? (whatever that means to you!) if so, I'd love to hear from you for an essay I'm working on 🙏 🐛

Woke up feeling immobile and then realised I was actually furious and needed to let myself be mad. Fuck these warmongering deranged gender-deluded white supremecist pieces of shit.
SAVE THE DATE for next Thur, Mar 12 - the NYC city council libraries subcommittee is meeting to talk about the prelim budget.
Register to testify and say "booo, where is the promised 0.5%?" at: council.nyc.gov/testify/
"our time here is unearned... That's the definition of a gift."
One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us. But white Americans do not believe in death, and this is why the darkness of my skin so intimidates them. And this is also why the presence of the Negro in this country can bring about its destruction. It is the responsibility of free men to trust and to celebrate what is constant-birth, struggle, and death are constant, and so is love, though we may not always think so-and to apprehend the nature of change, to be able and willing to change. I speak of change not on the surface but in the depths-change in the sense of renewal. - James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

OMG! I’m so excited for this.
It’s kind of weird to come back on here after a day of work to the ummm… snowball terror incident 🫠😏

Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd •17h SAM ALTMAN: "People talk about how much energy it takes to train an Al model ... But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart."
Sam Altman is older than 20 though, so what happened?
i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

A comparison of a cut to the police budget with a cut to library budget should start with the fact that the line item for police is $6 billion+ and that they always receive far more than this in overtime etc.
Don't appreciate the most prominent socialist mayor in the country's spokesperson using the phrase "achieving efficiencies and cutting waste" when it comes to THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES that his budget did not even fund sufficiently to keep up with inflation.

Asked my lawer spouse and he can't reply to you but says: it’s a congress issue. The idea of rotating scotus appointments from the circuit courts has been suggested in a few law review articles. It would be totally constitutional, except that the chief justice would still be a permanent appointment
BREAKING NYT:
