A hallucinated cite means you did not engage in research. It is possible to make an error when entering or checking a cite, but its not possible to make an error when you check a hallucinated cite and find it doesn't exist. That means you didn't do it.

Which means you used AI inappropriately.

Spending a lot of time ripping out crab grass by hand so my clover can take root out back, and it has me meditating a lot on what it means to take out fascists.

We always used to say it was whack-a-mole, it wasn't.

Successful antifascism in a democracy is a practice of weeding

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

Women only care about one thing. A beautifully cooked ham they dont have to share. They can eat the whole thing and they dont have to share with anyone. 6lbs of ham just for themself. They can take it in the bath or on the couch and its just theirs, not to share. No one can ask for a single swallow

Say hi. This is an example of how human labor will be remembered when all books are digitized and we all work with digital copies only. And maybe, hand on heart, this hand was intentionally raised to greet us from the past. #skystorians #bookhistory #digitalhumanities

I feel like we're all just waiting for someone to get sued in order to determine what we *actually* need to do.

It comes down to: if we aren't able to offer that automatic request fulfillment, doesn't that end up making things *less* accessible?

Ahh I see. My bad, didn't read your skeet close enough. We have the same dilemma. As of now we've decided much the same thing--we'll remediate if someone requests, but otherwise don't want to sacrifice the speed of service.

now, *only* autotagging things doesn't strictly pass title II requirements, but in our experience so far it meets the needs of most users. Properly tagging everything is a full time job, and with the volume that we produce, it would be several full time jobs. Here's where "undue burden" comes in.

PDFs have to be OCR'd *and* tagged in order for screen readers to read them.

YuJa Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform - YuJa Official Home Page YuJa Panorma integrates seamlessly into all major Learning Management System (LMS) products to improve the accessibility of digital media and course content.

there's other software that does this (including adobe, but it sucks at tagging), but Panorama integrates with Canvas, so we went with that. www.yuja.com/panorama/

Since fully tagging every PDF we send out is not feasible, we're autotagging everything with Panorama and leaving it at that. If someone needs more/better tagging we do that upon request. 2/2

Since title II mandates tagged PDFs (not just OCR), our institution bought a subscription to a software called Panorama that does a pretty good job of autotagging PDFs. You can then modify/correct anything it misses. 1/2

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

As someone who has participated in more than one autopsy I have to announce, sadly, that there is no groove in the heart.

we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire

When I die, I do not want my body donated to science. They have enough funding already. Donate my body to the humanities.
