Got someone who works in libraries trying to tell me we should be neutral and not political. The act of choosing to represent many voices and not just the voice of the dominant culture is not neutral. It is deeply political. People who don’t see what libraries do as being deeply political are privileged people who don’t see that EVERYTHING is political. They don’t see that politics affects every part of life because they are privileged enough to be insulated. Their privilege is that whichever way the political wind blows, they will probably be ok. #Libraries #Librarian

If you rely on assistive technologies (TTS, Braille display, enlarged fonts), what would be your preferred terminal output from a compiler or other CLI tool telling you where an error occurred?
If you'd prefer a different option, please elaborate.

Sweetie, I *know* I have an ad blocker. I installed it myself. Blocking your article to tell me I have an ad blocker is annoying and unnecessary, and I'm not going to turn it off for your intrusive creepy adtech infested blog.

🚨🦇 Bat friends of the Fedi! Help me help the sky puppies plz!

Are you in the US (and some parts of Canada) and occasionally available to drive an injured bat from the person who found it to the local rehabber who can help it? Especially if you are in central Florida where I am, please reach out to me here, or via Signal!

We constantly get calls for bat help from folx who are just a little too far away for me to get to myself, and the finder isn’t always in a position to drive themselves. Volunteer transporters often make the lifesaving difference for our bats in need. We even set up relays where the trip can be broken up if you can’t drive the full distance. And Bat World Sanctuary reimburses fuel mileage!!!

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you’re curious, I’m happy to go into special interest mode, LOL.

This is a no-contact situation; you pick up a bat that’s already in a box and drive it to the rehabber who contacted you. It’s super low pressure. If you’re not available they just go to the next volunteer on the list. No biggie.

Floridians: if you do sign up, please ping me directly so I know to look for you! 🖤 The registration to be a transporter in the US is a googledoc managed by Bat World Sanctuary:

Bat Transport Volunteer

Be a bat hero! Bat World Sanctuary is working to compile a running list of bat transport volunteers across the US. Wildlife rehabilitators across the country are swamped with calls this time of year. As rescuers, we are not funded by the government, nor do we receive compensation for our work. We volunteer our time and often our own money to save animals, and we rely heavily on the public to help us with transport missions and save more lives. By entering your information below, you are not actually committing to anything- but instead, letting us know that if a bat in your area needs help getting to a rescuer, we can call you to see if you are available to help. Bat transport is simple! The majority of the time, the bat will already be contained in a box, and all you need to do is meet with the finder, pick up the box, and take it to the nearest rescuer. Transport volunteers are not permitted to touch, or attempt to care for the bats, as doing so puts both the volunteer and the bat at risk. Volunteers will be contacted via phone if a bat needs help in the area. Please note that by filling out this form, your information will be available to confirmed bat rescuers across the US and you may be contacted by them. Transport volunteer requirements: -Be 18 years of age or older with a drivers license -Have access to transportation Further questions can be directed to: [email protected] Thank you for helping us save lives!
