oh what, so we're supposed to unionize at every building a car crashes into in Columbus? come on now
Do you remember when a car crashed into @columbuslibrary.bsky.social Parsons through a glass wall?
The next day, staff worked with plywood covering the broken wall & w/out reassurance about the structural integrity of the building.
CML workers are forming a union to have input on workplace safety.

Asking a chatbot isn't better than nothing -- it's worse than nothing. Unless the goal isn't learning but rather "turning in assignments".

Devastating essay about living with a terminal cancer diagnosis at 35, made more devastating by the author's relation to the health and human services secretary who's spent the past year cutting cancer research.
A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

and the part that hurt the most was fighting to keep my job!

Workers should be able to receive treatment for cancer or a chronic illness without the threat of losing their health insurance or their job. That's one reason @columbuslibrary.bsky.social workers are coming together to form their union!

Marigold, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social
I grow frustrated with local news-- by focusing so much on stories of violence, they inadvertently promote the idea that the world is more violent than it is (leading voters to candidates who promise security at all costs).

whenever a story like this breaks, i think about the way AI slop salespeople and their allies insist that their tech is “inevitable.”
“it’s here whether you like it or not!”
the entire project is rotten, but i keep getting caught on on how explicitly anti-consent it is.

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines
