Unfortunately, I am reminded of this tweet almost every single work day.

A screenshot of a tweet from Crypti-Calli @|willleavenow:

I see that BlueSky is full on BirdSky today and I will chime in that I’ve been watching a parent red bellied woodpecker feed its baby for the past half hour.

Hot diggity dog, feast your eyes on this public library. [Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Mexico City]

A photo down the length of an enormously long and tall library. Eight floors of metal and glass shelving are seemingly suspended from the ceiling of this architectural marvel. Light filters in and people mill about.

“…the college assumes we want efficiency at all cost through automated rather than hand-pulled coffee.” I maintain that human services, including library services, are often inefficient when they are good, because the care & connection of humans is not quick work. Oberlin Luddites, I stand with you!
