I feel very old today, after having to explain what #microfiche was to other teachers in my MEd program.
Ruined a great joke/commentary.

solarpunk prompts @alxd@writing.exchangeIt's my pleasure to announce https://storyseedlibrary.org/ - a #library of #solarpunk #art and story seeds to help you imagine a better #climate future!
Huge thanks to all the artists who shared their art under various #creativeCommons licenses, including @the_lemonaut , @NiwlCraft and @jacobcoffin ! No AI will replace handcrafted art!
If you liked our @SolarpunkPrompts #podcast , the Story Seeds are expanding its concept - soon with more, unpublished ones!
My plans for 10pm tonight.

I was going to check out Mango through my #library but I haven't tried it yet, so no idea if it's good or not
@tinker@infosec.exchangeLooking to replace Duolingo?
Your library might provide you free access to Language Learning Apps.
No, not CDs or cassette tapes (when was the last time you were at the library? ).
Actual apps. That you download onto your phone.
My library provides me access to TWO language learning apps that compete directly with Duolingo. Mango Language App and Transparent Language App.
What apps does your library provide?

New today: Approving this bill would do a disservice to the families who value their own children’s curiosity and education, including their kids’ ability to access books needed for assigned reading or for research using nonfiction sources more advanced than those found in the children’s or teen sections of the #library.

I use my holds list like a TBR because I think tags, in Libby, is just fundamentally broken in a number of ways. I seemingly can't edit a tag list in bulk, I can't set an option for books to be removed when I check out a book, unless I'm missing something somewhere, and a whole host of other things! I wrote an email to all my libraries asking them to use the Palace Project instead. Their app is also far more accessible too! #Libby #LibbyApp #Library #Libraries #PalaceProject
I've made this argument before, but hear me out.
Another reason why libraries are great are because you don't feel guilty about not finishing books anymore

Librarians are dangerous: A public service announcement by Brad Montague
Dear Enthusiasts,
I write to you today as a concerned citizen. Many aren’t brave enough to say it, but the time has come. So, I will say it:
Librarians are dangerous.
(Dramatic music should be playing in your head right now.)
You thought they were just keepers of the quiet. Guardians of the “shhh.” The ones who handed you a dusty book and pointed to a beanbag chair.
Wrong.
