I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Breaking their own telework policies to demand remote workers come back to the office with less than 5 days' notice after a strike authorization? Smells like retaliation. Sign the petition (you don't need to be a county resident!) to stand with with the union. actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

Crazy that real life continues during an occupation, but Minnesota communities need our support. Washington County Local 517 is at a critical stage of negotiating for a fair contract and its members recently voted to authorize a strike. Please consider signing their petition to show solidarity—

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Keep Minnesota Housed!
Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction.
Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds!

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now. the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

The waiting room was updated! Greetings from the corporate purgatory for boring adults. Kids need to find a new space to get their oil changes, I guess.

An entrance into a renovated waiting room area. White walls and ceilings surround you. Light wood patterned vinyl flooring holds you steady as you try to sit in very tall chairs that line the bar-height table along the perimeter. Somewhere deeper inside, I imagine seeing a spreadsheet open on a laptop and hearing a deep, existential sigh.
