SILENCED VOICES by @artsypabster.bsky.social
is a great tool to teach the history of Guatemala and start important conversations about global politics. Librarian and educator @juliaerin80.bsky.social has written a blog post on how you can use this book in classrooms and libraries: bit.ly/46bzoTV ๐
The discovery that when I want a book with a "strong" message about race or any of the isms and the hold is too long--all I need to do is switch to a library system in the burbs...There is literally and always no wait. It's just such a mixed blessing...really sad in a way...
...and the ones who are get forced to burn the candle at both ends. ๐
...and most of the time you won't get a cookie, a raise, or much recognition--possibly ever. Folks need to be ok with that.

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI.
All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work.

The outcome of the Diddy trial has left hip hop fans with a palpable sense of disappointment. Co-founder @freeblackgirl.bsky.social writes about the possibility of sex work decriminalization and its intersections with high-profile sexual abuse cases.

I'm growing respect for Issac Asimov's Foundation series and I have always loved Octavia Butler's Wild Seed.
