@carnage4life “The commission also calls for the introduction of “preparedness” lessons in the school curricula, including giving pupils the skills to fight disinformation and information manipulation.”

Just one of those short random thoughts I write about once in a while.

@nomdeb I've been annoyed by doctors moving to digital and having you resubmit aspects of paperwork for every appointment. It isn't the new patient form but they still ask about health history. Every six months...I finally started just putting "no change" or leaving things blank.
It seems as though healthcare needs #librarians to streamline and manage things because it's all such a mess. And it needs some real skill to make it better.
Considering the amount of secret library passage memes I keep finding, I can't be the only one who wants this!

I have to get some sensitive documents notarized.
My library offers notary services for free.
I must say, the sensitivity and grace the librarians have continues to amaze me.
"Interweaving black-&-white broadcast news & film clips, Snyder reminds viewers that it wasn’t always this way, nor will it always remain so. The Nazis’ book burnings didn’t last forever. #US Senator Joseph McCarthy’s ostensibly anti-Communist persecutions came to an end as well. For centuries, #librarians have been respected stewards of knowledge, & they are still fighting as guardians of intellectual #freedom."

My guess is he's looking for "The adventures of Sir Puff'nStuff, mostly stuff but also puff."

It comes from a loose coalition of #archivists & #librarians, who are standing athwart #history & yelling “Save!” They belong to organizations such as the #InternetArchive, which co-created a project called the End of Term Web Archive to back up the federal web in 2008; the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, or #edgi; & #libraries at major #universities such as #MIT & the University of #Michigan.
