Anyone in Varna this week? #qpl2025 #qpl #quantum
#update Nach Verneinung und Nachfrage hat man sich auf Position „wir können das erst ab 10 Kindern anbieten“ zurückgezogen. 🤔 Wer bringt alles seine Kinder mit zur #QPL #WhatWorks Tagung vom @DLR_de am 09.-10. Dezember in #Osnabrück?

Miniony sezon Quake Pro League był ostatnim - nie będzie kolejnej edycji. Niekoniecznie oznacza to koniec e-sportu #QuakeChampions, ale nie da się ukryć, że raczej nie zmierza to w dobrym kierunku.

NYC friends: The budget for libraries is looking bad so there are petitions for better funding. This is an area where petitions ACTUALLY WORK. A friend of a friend who works in NYC libraries says: we’re looking at hours cut, hiring freezes, etc if we can’t get our budget and the hiring freezes are terrifying because we’re [already] short twenty children’s librarians and 11 assistant managers This one is queens: https://queenslibrary.org/support/take-action (more links in next post)

NYC public libraries say proposed budget cuts may 'push us over the edge'

Libraries may lose millions – and cut staff, hours, branches, and programming – under an Adams administration proposal.
