Library Girl @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social · Sep 4

Exploiting our emotions in order to influence, manipulate and radicalize is a tale as old as time, y'all. The difference now is the reach these strategies have thanks to the tech we use.

TL;DR: Librarians, information literacy and media mindfulness are more important than ever.

From surviving The Exorcist at 7 to ugly crying through Imitation of Life, movies have shaped my memories and my favorites list. Which films make yours? Let’s trade stories and popcorn. 🍿 #Movies #FilmLovers #Cinephile #Storytelling #MovieMagic #FilmCommunity

Daily writing prompt What are your top ten favorite movies? View all responses I’m excited about this prompt! One of my earliest memories is going to the movies in 1976 with my mom, aunt, and cousins. I was seven years old. We went to the Eastmont Mall theater in Oakland, which was showing double features. We were there for The Bad News Bears…
