Automated book-culling software drives librarians to create fake patrons to "check out" endangered titles

[mod note] Part of the reason why I do what I do is because the importance of this type of information becoming a part of popular culture and consciousness isn’t theoretical to its survival-it’s essential.

In other words, if we’re not talking about it, it can cease to exist for not just you, but other people. Some databases are set up in such a way that “unpopular” material is culled automatically.

I won’t let this information die.

This is true for people of all marginalizations, in all types of informational and educational curation. How can we prevent a system designed to cull the disenfranchised from our own pages from doing so? How can we make these marginalized histories and non-dominant narratives survive?

These are the questions I’m asking myself as we enter into an increasingly hostile world this year.

I want to know who it was that said that Lan only love once. Lan Wangji only loved once, but unless I am very mistaken, it isn’t stated anywhere that it was a common or expected thing.

Reminder that there is no "Lan Love Curse" when we only get two supposed tragic stories (Qinghen-Jun and Lan Wangji where both are through Lan Xichen's point of view on a relationship he knows nothing of) and are only told that despite being very monk like, they seem to be a very romantic sect underneath the stoicism, and Wei Wuxian finds that charming between all it's thousand of rules

'the ultimate computer' aka uncannily precise vision of the future in which starfleet wants to replace jim with ai but spock and bones are not having it

I am going feral at all the times ai is being a menace in this show and how accurate it is to the bs present we're living in

gritty realism in my shows? no no, you misunderstand

I want nitty gritty realism in my shows

I do not wish for fantasy that is Dirty and Sad. I wish for fantasy where beleaguered accountants and politicians do battle between territories via manipulating prices on various treasure types, all in the attempt to boost their rich foes past the Dragon Threshold and get burnt alive when the dragon arrives to claim their stuff. Show me the ramifications of a Summon Food spell on farming. Show me the Counterspell arms race.

Gimme that sweet sweet serotonin of micromanagement

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here
