I stopped by the public library today and learned that they allow patrons to check out light boxes for sadness during the fall/winter months in Ohio.

More and more I am convinced that public libraries (and those who work there) are some of the best of us.

Motivated by the principles of academic freedom & inspired by the rights retention policies of several institutions in the US, @UiTNorgesarktis has adopted its own institutional rights retention policy.

A great example to follow!

🇺🇦 We’ve got more news… 🇺🇦

From today, all 10,000 of our lessons – including video captions and worksheets – can be auto-translated into Ukrainian.

It’s a very small contribution to support children seeking refuge in the UK from this horrific, senseless war.

[j turner @NetPracjtH8]

It's so good to see initiatives like this and I'm hoping it's mirrored by UK organisations.
