And yes, I watched way too much television!
I hope that, as you say, a “clean AI: green, ethically grounded, and bounded,” is possible. It’s clear that money, ethics, and power don’t often align in favor of people, the environment, or many other precious things. I…Read more

The technology may eliminate some tasks, but it also raises questions about who really benefits and, of course, whose creative work (or otherwise) is used to “train”…Read more

I’m in! Thank you for bringing up DIY culture as well- I’m really into the zine culture of the 70’s-90’s and like that I am seeing resurgence of interest in DIY information/expression- or in your words- “communal creative expression.” Community is key!

I find fonts to be really interesting when choosing the signage because some fonts are better to read digitally versus physically. I think the signage you created at your library is so cool and was designed with the intention to help make the space more welcoming and inclusive for patrons.

You use great examples of how storytelling brings communities together.
