I found this series of small essays+videos useful for students. They even include suggested follow-up topics for in-class conversation. thebullshitmachines.com/table-of-con...

It would be really weird, but I would love of all my pictures came out like this one. After all, the whole world is melting down.

I was reading Hito Steyerl on how phone camera’s lenses are so bad that most of what they capture is mostly noise, and how they use our stored photos and social media to come up with a reasonable image and this is a good example of it.

I asked the first question once during a committee meeting, and it worked exactly as stated here. It’s solid advice 100%.

Devin Fitzgerald, bibliothot @devinfitz.bsky.social · Jun 24

Trying something new with library committees. Before agreeing to join, I am asking truly toxic questions like:

What is the purpose of this group? What are our intended outcomes? Who do we report to?

Without fail, there is never a response and I get to continue doing things like... my job.
