occasionally, i like to amble through the 'remote' listings at charityjob &, when i spot a job that i'd love to do, but for which i'm not suited, i like to pass it on to the fediverse in the hope that it'll find the perfect person.

I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

📚 The World Jones Made by: Philip K. Dick
Floyd Jones has always been able to see exactly one year into his future, a gift and curse that began one year before he was even born. As a fortune-teller at a post-apocalyptic carnival, Jones is a powerful force, and may just be able to force society away from its paralyzing Relativism...

I didn't get far into the paper until I got to this:
> In other words, while they share similar features, print books and digital books are not the same product. In fact, digital books are not simply a product, but also a service.
ebooks only _turn into_ a service if we let them. An automated storage retrieval system is also a "service" but we don't think of that is physical-books-as-a-service.

New website, new #introduction!
I'm Rhys, a storyteller, #librarian, and #archivist living in Leicester, UK. I use they/them pronouns.
I have a rich background working in multimedia #storytelling, oral #history, guerrilla #journalism, and #ethnography. More recently, I’ve expanded into #libraries and #archives.
Outside of work, I’m a budding #gardener, #solarpunk, nature #photographer, #druid and #anarchist. I’m proudly #neurodivergent (AuDHD) and #queer.
