The US library system, once the best in the world, faces death by a thousand cuts
In addition to political censorship and budget cuts, libraries are being undermined by rapacious digital licensing agreements
by Brewster Kahle
Tumblr media
The US library system, once the model for the world, is under assault from politicians, rightwing activists and corporate publishers. Book bans are at record levels, and libraries across the country are facing catastrophic budget cuts, a fate only narrowly avoided by New York City’s public libraries this summer. In a separate line of attack, library collections are being squeezed by draconian licensing deals, and even sued to stop lending digitized books.
This war on libraries – and on the traditional values of equal opportunity, universal education and cultural preservation they represent – directly contravenes the will of the majority in the United States. Polls reveal that public support for libraries is as strong as ever. But the profession of librarianship has become a hazardous one, because of the actions of a hostile minority. It’s time to reverse course.
Centuries ago, publishers, lawmakers and business leaders understood the value to society of libraries, and of making books accessible to anyone curious enough to read them. Mindful of a long history of autocratic tyranny over the dissemination of books, Benjamin Franklin – a publisher and printer by trade – started the first subscription library in the US to spread knowledge widely.

I love learning things about characters I didn’t know and not just canon stuff but history of publishing and what goes behind the scenes with editorial. Originally Barbara was created for the the tv show to replace the love interest role for Catwoman. They had casted Eartha Kitt as the new Catwoman and since segregation was still happening in certain parts of the country they wanted to cast a white woman to play a love interest so their show could continue to be played in certain states. Catwoman went from love interest to a more villainous role and Barbara was introduced. Instead of being Bruce’s love interest she set herself apart and really shinned on her own to the point that she ended not as the love interest but and icon in her own right. When they made the move to comics there were still comics that paired her with Bruce (they are married in one of them) and in another she briefly dated Clark Kent. She was given a couple of backups and was the reason comics started using The Batfamily. Before she was introduced, Jim Gordon had a son who accompanied him but he was written out. Another son existed that was an older brother to Barbara but was written out as well. Later a younger brother would be added but he comes and goes given the continuity.
Ohhh! I didn't know that's why she was created I was aware that originally in the comics she was Commissioner Gordons niece, whom he adopted. And that her brother James Gordon Jr in a serial killer, which is very interesting.
Im loving hearing all this Barbara history! I mostly focus on her post injury. As I relate to get heavily as a wheelchair user. But that means I've never really dove into her before than so all this bee info is awesome, truly it is just great!

Being emotionally abused more than once can create emotional barriers within your next relationship…. I feel SUPER disconnected from my spouse and have for years but I’ve told myself that it’s not forever and that going back to my ex Andrew (if he would even want me) would be a huge mistake! I’m super uncomfortable and feeling 0 romance but I’m not giving up!! I’m tired of comparing my spouse to my exes. I’m tired of overthinking everything in my marriage. Lately I have not actively worked to make it better. I’ve been “stuck” but I’m just tired… I want my new man to notice where we’re at and to want to change. When you’ve been neglected and used in all your past relationships, you just don’t have the energy to keep giving and giving. I need my new man to start making moves on me 🥺❤️‍🩹

The reason why it’s so hard to ever learn anything from the males, is they don’t use knowledge for teaching, or find the value in passing it to others; to them knowledge is a tool to build advertisement for themselves.
If you listen to a male speak, with an intent to learn, you must first endure the exaggeration of how important and powerful the knowledge is, how it will give you an advantage over everyone else, how it is in fact, the key knowledge to everything else in life. And he, by the extent, is an incredibly important and insightful person to have this knowledge, he will tell you about the godly sources this knowledge is taken from, if not from his own self. You will hear so much propaganda building up to the actual knowledge, built to entice you and to make you want to hear it more, but when it comes to the actual knowledge, it will be evasive, confusing, unclear, vague, based on useless philosophies, under-described, completely theoretical with no real sources or base, or he will evade sharing the actual knowledge altogether, and be pleased with simply building himself up into the heaven for having this ‘knowledge’.
Men see no benefit to share knowledge unless they’re using it to start a personal cult or business scam around it; they’ll take a piece of obvious information then hype it up as if it was revolutionary, then sell it to you with enticement that if you should want to learn more, you should join his cult/mlm/scam - because all of the scams are built upon this tactic of male ego embellishment. Any piece of knowledge in male hands is only used to help that one male, not to serve anyone else, because once again, males see no social benefit in helping or teaching others, it’s all about impressing others and drawing them in, to get attention, admiration, ego-boost, social reputation, an advantage, or money.
Women are where the real knowledge is. However, we have been taught to downplay our own intelligence to the point where if we know something, we’ll often assume it’s common knowledge or not as vital as what males are selling. But when you need something done, you ask a woman, and she will give you 100% practical and well-sourced information that will get you the results. Without embellishing, taking credit, asking you to sign up for her newsletter or trying to start a personality cult. Males have been aware of this, at least to the point where they will ask women to give them information for free, then sell it as their own in order to start their personality cults.
Sharing information that is socially helpful to others comes naturally to women, you will usually get encouragements and reassurances about how easy it is and that anyone can do it, along with correct, tried-out information that has been proved to show results. Information m*n spread around is not socially conscious, the intent behind is only to worship the male who spread it, so it will often be faulty, untested, unhealthy, costly, dangerous, even fatal. When the information proves dangerous and harmful, the male who spread it will simply evade the responsibility, and act oblivious to the damage, again, there’s no benefit to standing behind their words if its not bringing them glory.
I’m not saying this is true for every single case; there are exceptions. Sometimes if you endure the obnoxious ego-embellishment of males, you will find hints and pieces of true information, and sometimes it’s the women who will go and make personality-cults out of fake philosophy, but the root of scams and ego-cults comes from the male, and the reasons even women can now do it, is that it socially spread to the point where it’s considered so normal and acceptable, it would be weird if a few women didn’t go for the same strategy. The women who do it, however, often get called out, criticized, parodied and openly despised, while for m*n it’s considered just business as usual and even if they’re hated, they’re likely to get a pat on the back for ‘getting away with so much’.
The point is, get information from women. Read women-written books. Look at women-made tutorials and videos. Listen to what women are saying works, what has been tested, what the consequences are. When you see a piece of knowledge over-hyped, understand that the intent is to get you involved in something, rather than offer you a resource. You don’t have to listen to some male claiming he discovered hot water, there are women who have been heating the same water for centuries and know more about, and will tell you if you seek them out. Knowledge passed on by women will be more valuable than anything you’ve ever heard a male say.

Quote
These institutions must grapple with their legacies of intellectual and cultural abuse towards Indigenous peoples and emerging industry norms that increasingly demand respect for Indigenous rights, while continuing to make knowledge resources available and accessible to the public, to the extent allowed by law. Faced with these two seemingly incommensurable objectives, many institutions have begun to adopt cumbersome, generally unenforceable internal policies and procedures that tend to limit access to Indigenous culture as a remedy for past abuses rather than looking to Indigenous communities for guidance on methods for repair and redress. This Article advocates for a different approach - one which merges restorative justice theory and well-established methods for “Open Source” or “Creative Commons”-style licensing into what I call restorative licensing. I further advocate for the integration of privately ordered licensing structures within the restorative justice process to ensure Indigenous expectations for repair and redress are met, and that Indigenous cultural expressions can circulate once again on terms consistent with Indigenous law, protocol, and standards of care.

musings on things; an attempt to commodify myself so i could finally fit in with society's standards of productivity
this came to me in a dream... jk my brain went berserk.
it's important to have a second-brain notebook for my random epiphanies, lightbulb moments. my adhd brain cannot handle just trusting my brain to remember it for when i need that info.
besides, it'll help improve retention and recall, combat information overload, and support knowledge sharing.
it apparently takes 30 minutes to get in the "zone". it needs to be uninterrupted. and efficient, productive work can only be good for four to five hours a day, so we have to stretch it. how?
prioritize. categorize (sync or async?)
identify roles per day. what are we today? the maker or the manager?
time box. stick to it. announce for accountability and to be off limits.
weekly resets are important.
rewards are also important. i need to make a list of rewards and play i can look at when i want to take a break. the break shall not involve social media. socializing, yes, but not social media.
planning a task needs a lot of things, at least for my pea-sized brain:
the task, of course.
deadline
dependencies
breakdown -> milestones
how much effort is needed/weight
importance, impact (related to dependencies)
an Eisenhower matrix is helpful
a reflection is like a project status report. it may or may not need the following:
project name (oplan kim's brain needs help. and jesus. jesus' help.)
period
decide when to reflect and then adapt. weekly and monthly maybe. the daily could just be a brain dump instead.
timeline
scope
categories. what parts and aspects of your life this reflection covers. focus!
status
achievements
important metrics
blockers
action items/next steps
praise/shoutouts/gratitude
stakeholders
identify who this is for.
just gonna emphasize the four to five hour timeframe for productivity. practice. protect it.
maybe try pomodoro with larger chunks. once into a state of deep work, ignore the timer. or have a shorter break.
in time blocking, schedule buffers.
track productivity.
when were you creative today? when did you get creative?
try to find a new environment when you're starting to get restless.
for habitats, no failing two days in a row. do it even if half assed.
i think that's it. get out of my brain.

Healing from Emotional Abuse: Understanding the Impact and Nurturing Your Recovery (A.I. Based)
Introduction:
As an AI-based post aimed at sharing knowledge and fostering healing for all individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, it is essential to delve into the lasting impact of such trauma, strategies to process it, and ways to prioritize self-care during the healing journey. While this narrative is not reflective of any specific individual, it resonates with the shared experiences of many who have navigated abusive relationships. In this context, let's explore the effects of emotional abuse and the steps towards healing and self-nurturing.
The Impact of Emotional Abuse:
Emotional abuse can leave deep scars on one's mental and emotional well-being, affecting self-esteem, trust, and overall sense of self. The experiences of being emotionally manipulated, belittled, or controlled can linger long after the relationships have ended. In the case of our fictional narrative(about me ruminate88), the encounters with Jake, Cody, and Andrew highlight varied forms of emotional abuse — from subtle manipulation to outright ghosting. It is crucial to acknowledge that emotional abuse can occur in different shapes and sizes, often leaving individuals feeling invalidated, anxious, and unworthy of love.
Ways to Process Emotional Abuse:
Processing emotional abuse involves acknowledging the pain, unraveling the patterns of toxic behavior, and reclaiming your sense of self-worth. Therapy, journaling, creative expression, and mindfulness practices are effective tools for unpacking the trauma, gaining insights into the dynamics of abusive relationships, and fostering healing. Reflecting on the experiences with Jake, Cody, and Andrew can provide opportunities for growth, self-awareness, and empowerment. By recognizing the red flags, setting boundaries, and seeking support, individuals can begin to untangle the web of emotional abuse and move towards healing.
Taking Care of Yourself During the Healing Process:
Self-care plays a pivotal role in the journey towards healing from emotional abuse. It involves treating yourself with compassion, practicing self-love, and prioritizing your well-being. Engaging in activities that bring you joy, surrounding yourself with supportive individuals, and honoring your emotions are essential components of self-nurturing. While healing may be a nonlinear process with its ups and downs, embracing self-care practices can create a safe space for emotional processing and growth.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the journey of healing from emotional abuse is a profound and transformative experience that requires courage, self-compassion, and perseverance. By acknowledging the impact of past traumas, actively working towards processing them, and nurturing oneself through self-care practices, individuals can pave the way for healing and personal growth. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and love — and your healing journey is a testament to your inner strength and resilience. Let this AI-based post serve as a source of knowledge, empowerment, and comfort for all those on their path to healing from emotional abuse.
