ICYMI The state of New Jersey passed the Freedom to Read Act in early December, a law which forbids schools and libraries from removing books based on “viewpoint discrimination, requires school and library boards to establish and follow clear policies on how library materials can be challenged and protects educators and librarians from criminal and civil penalties for their work. https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/libraries/article/96729-new-jersey-delivers-a-victory-for-the-freedom-to-read-and-for-librarians.html


https://aus.social/@feather1952/113692912843536954 feather1952@aus.social - Good morning tooters. It’s a beautiful day outside, still a little smoke haze hanging around but better than yesterday. It’s about 18c & will reach a comfortable 31c, so not too bad. #Weather
Wandering my garden this morning & I swear my cucumbers have tripled in size since I pointed them out to my granddaughter on Friday. They keep growing this fast I’ll have one or two on Christmas Day! The tomatoes don’t seem to be doing as well unfortunately. Not that much fruit on them 🤷🏼‍♀️. Second year running I haven’t had much success with them. There will be fruit, just not a bounty 🙁. #Garden
I did have one little treat that I spied outside on one of the outdoor blinds. A beautiful Australian Emperor Dragonfly, stunning against the grey of the blind with its shiny fragile wings - absolutely perfect, almost unreal. Made my morning #Insects.
Visiting my sister this morning & she has visitors, the former wife of her son & her family have arrived for Christmas & I’m looking forward to that catch up. Great people.
Wishing everyone a wonderful #Sunday. Stay cool 😎.

Awesome goal though 😀

Les États-Unis n'envisagent pas de déployer des armes nucléaires en Ukraine, malgré les rumeurs russes. Jake Sullivan a confirmé que l'accent est mis sur le renforcement des capacités conventionnelles de défense de l'Ukraine, qui est toujours soumise à des inspections internationales. 🛡️❌

I was just talking with someone about the major flaw I see in the Putin plan to destabilize the U.S. for Russia’s benefit.

New article I wrote:

I keep saying none of this is going to go down the way they think, and this is one of the factors I am referring to. "Luigi" is just the start. The American capacity for violence is deep, unpredictable, engrained, and terrible.

"Further, while often resisting government intrusions, libraries also commonly operate as an arm of the state. For example, Lexis-Nexis, a library vendor used in many libraries, is participating in a project to assist in building ICE’s Extreme Vetting surveillance system."

#FobaziEttarh, 2018

https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/

This is a classic example of presenting a piece of evidence as if it obviously supports the conclusion - even though it actually doesn't - and hoping no one notices.

Let's unpack this a bit.

The current iteration of LexisNexis is owned by RELX. A DataFarming corporation commonly known as Reed Elsevier; one of a handful of predatory publishers in control of most scholarly publishing;

https://www.elsevier.com/products/journals

These companies have managed to get proprietary control of so many essential data commons, that libraries have no choice but to pay them for access to at least some of these commons.

Strypey mastodon (AP)
As libraries moved with the times, giving members access to digitised catalogues, websites, and other digital services, LexisNexis became one of a number of proprietary database services that library members needed access to.

Ironically, the first versions of LexisNexis were created to give professionals direct access to bona fide information, without having to consult a librarian. In other words, it began as a specifically anti-librarian project.

Anyway, coming back to the point, RELX, or whichever of their subsidiaries is working for ICE, is most certainly acting as an arm of the state. But libraries have about as much choice in using services controlled by RELX, as people treated as livestock by ICE have in using theirs.

The claim that this somehow makes libraries complicit in anything that RELX or ICE do is the sort of bullshit rhetoric I expect from shock bloggers, and social media hot takes. But this claim survived peer review, in a scholarly journal specifically about librarianship;

https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/about/

This exactly the kind of dross peer review is supposed to filter for. Failure to do so undermines the credibility of the rest of the paper, its author, whoever reviewed it, and the whole journal.

It's the winter solstice here in the Northern hemisphere, so for #DecRecs I'm reccing: Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night by Katherine Fabian and Iona Datt Sharma

I reread this yesterday so I can say with confidence that its extremely good!

It’s a contemporary fantasy novella about two metamores who dislike each other but have to work together to save their mutual boyfriend. The writing is beautiful, the characters are great, and there's so many keenly observed details!
