Memes work. Earlier this year, @nypl launched a meme campaign to get library funding restored. It was a success, with people attributing the restoration of over $58M to the social team's strategy. I chatted with NYPL’s social manager about it, here’s what I learned:

@OgLakyn I swear a lot of these corporations are deliberately picking BIPOC artists to do these AI-related projects & letting them take the brunt of the criticism...
