Look at this beautiful new site, application and open dataset. Brilliant work that builds on past efforts. I especially love that the application is built on the Distributed Text Services API and realizes the potential of the work of Biblissima+.

Great opportunity to work with @wearelyrasis.bsky.social to design technical specifications for integrations that will power interoperability workflows among its Community Supported Technologies.

Over the next few years, there is one question I plan to ask myself relentlessly, and to try to answer rigorously:

What can we build? What can we build with who and what we have that keeps us fed and housed and safe and still able to find joy?

Are AI Bots Knocking Cultural Heritage Offline?

Are AI bots knocking cultural heritage offline? After talking to dozens of GLAM institutions over the past few months, the answer in our new GLAM-E Lab report seems to be “yes”
www.glamelab.org/products/are...

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

‼️‼️

Showing up today for your nearest No Kings protest is more important than it was last night. Stand with Minnesota. Stand for the families, friends and communities who lost Rep. Hortman, today.

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Alternatively, “Thousands of Americans expected to take to the streets in defense of their neighbors and their democracy” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Trump’s parade in D.C. will feature more than 5 million pounds of the government’s machinery.

The No Kings gatherings across America will feature more than 5 million of the country’s people.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Target gave $1M to Trump inauguration fund, a first for the company President Donald Trump raised a record amount of cash for his inauguration, including donations from several companies with operations in Minnesota.

there is a decent chance i never spend a single dime at target again in my life www.startribune.com/target-gave-...

A photo taken on the steps showing over a 100 people gathered around Jeffries and Booker who are sat broadcasting on the steps of the Capitol. The sky is bright blue.

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps.

Is this building into something?

If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support.

There is no Other. Violence against the least of us, is violence against all of us

We all love spring flowers. Flowers may be male, female, or both. Plants often change sex. In floral complexity, we find joy. Humans are also complex and beautiful in sex and gender. We must not listen to those who seek to divide us because of our differences. Let's find joy in each human flower.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Sign of the day…

A crowd of protesters on a city street with signs including “we exist resist” “hands off!” “No one bribed me to be here”

A crowd of protestors on a city square. One with a megaphone. Signs say things like “hands off!” And “no due process for them means no due process for you” American flags too.

Protestors on city street holding American flags and signs with the words “Resist” and “hands off”

Really good peaceful crowd in Troy NY today. #handsoff #nokings #april19
