Yes, I am on a gravel path.
No, I don't need to justify myself to anyone...

I feel once again compelled to emphasis the digitizing in the literal scanning sense is fairly unimportant if it is not accompanied with metadata providing context for discovery. Both humans and AI will make things up when they don't know what they are looking at.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

I’ve worked in public libraries for 20 years, today was the first time we’ve had to tell someone they couldn’t bring their chainsaw in the library.

Every librarian I’ve had in my life be like:
pintsncupcakes.bsky.social Chloe N. Clark @pintsncupcakes.bsky.social · 26d
Remembering in undergrad when I was getting so many interlibrary loan books that the librarians gave me my own designated bookshelf.

And I was like "is it a bother that I get so many?"

And they were like "no, we love it."

SO FREAKING COOL.

And that giant loss number they keep tossing around costs me $30 a year for it to work!

My local public library costs me $6!!!

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.
EcoEnclose order summary: “Order Summary 50 Items 100% Recycled Box - OPF 32ECT C - CUSTOM 50 x 100% Recycled Box - OPF 32ECT C - CUSTOM Details Box Strength: 32C (25 lbs) Box Style: OPF Length(in): 17.500 Width(in): 12.000 Height(in): 1.000 Service Speed: Standard (3 - 6 business days) FSC® Recycled Shipping Weight 11 oz Subtotal $99.86 Shipping $20.46 Tax $0.00 Total (USD) $120.32” Uline Order Summary # of Shipments: 1 # of Items: 1 Subtotal: $186.00 Tax: $20.00 More Information Shipping: $32.38 Estimated Total: $238.38 2024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors: “…Trump’s Top Donors With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid — though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon. The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir. The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”
