💯 agree with this. Also, it's not just digital either but media literacies.

Excited to be participating in #lilac2026 at the beautiful campus of the University of Sheffield!

Stuck in waiting room and watching Kelly Rippa and her husband call removing snow and getting paid $45 bucks an hour for a 40 hour week "great exercise". #idiots

4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Serve your veterans by asking Schumer to resign.

What a monster game from Berger-Katrin!

Vote to oust Schumer, now. Stop the performance.

Reds is still my favorite Diane Keaton movie. RIP 💔

Reds got robbed for best pic BTW.

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

So on point. I can't remember exactly what year it was but when Taylor Swift used a Grammy win to drop more merch, it was the jumped shark moment for her that she rather just dive into money than creativity.

On trial for journalism in Kentucky. Two months after their arrests while covering a protest, a pair of local reporters face criminal charges.

"I can’t think of anything more chilling to First Amendment activity, or more designed to prevent coverage of high-profile, newsworthy events, than to criminally charge reporters for being present on the scene,” he said. www.cjr.org/news/madelin...

NJ Transit engineers strike, raising commuter fears | NJ Spotlight News NJ Transit rail engineers said they were going on strike, ending months of negotiations and beginning a job action poised to disrupt New Jersey’s public

A spokesperson for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen confirmed to NJ Spotlight News that there will be a strike at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

NJ Transit's line about NJTransit workers don't deserve the same wage as NY workers is the biggest BS line ever. The cost of living is basically the same. #strike #njtransitstrike

Yeah, I gave up on readers a long time ago because of the proprietary software. Too bad about the Bookshop app. Will look into the Kobo through! thank you!!

Librarians (or anyone else who use): what's an alternative to Kindle (because you know, the evil empire).

Mel is the best.

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it!

Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections.

Use it or lose it!

Yes!
