Been at home for 2 months recovering from a broken foot (worst possible timing for a youth librarian as summer kicked off). Tomorrow I go back to work in the library to show my team my gratitude & reconnect with the kiddos. Weirdly loved being forced to slow down; pondering how to continue mindset

I'm hardly the first/only person to use the term "prompter", but it really needs to be the universal term for anyone using generative AI while claiming to be a writer, artist, musician, film maker, thought leader, creative thinker, etc. etc. "No, Jeremy, you're not an author. You're a prompter."

Time to collectively remove the verb "google" from our vernacular. It shouldn't be anyone's default search engine anymore. Do research without getting nonsense spewed from an LLM and calling it an answer. Keep internet searches that lead to actual sources. You don't "google" it anymore; you research

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

I'm literally working a teen outreach event in the morning will be sharing resources there before heading back to the library right as a bunch of those kids probably head off to the afternoon protest. Hopefully will be able to dart out there on my 15 minute break. Give 'em hell, y'all!

Those teens are also more likely in underfunded schools, without access to school libraries or professional librarians, and they likely have a harder time accessing their public libraries. The right has been itching for this outcome and they're getting it.

I guess that's the most straightforward "where" but the "how" is mystifying. They just leave him tied up while they go to school, assuming (correctly) he won't escape? Where do they hide him during the party, and no one stumbles on or hears him?

Hey, things are awful, we're all stressed, but it's still good to read books and encourage others to read, especially nonreaders. Reading novels can build empathy, and we could use even more empathy right about now.

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
