Spotted on Mastodon: a spreadsheet of 900 media outlets with a Fediverse presence. “I did it! Although it’s still very rough & really not pretty, I got my spreadsheet with (> 900) verified accounts of media organizations in the #Fediverse away from #Google. The solution was #DataTables all along.”
I rememebr when #Publishers and #Agents would throw fits about #Authors having other people send #Submissions in for them.
Yet, they block blind people and deafblind people from sending in submissions by requiring #Capthuas.
I guess they only want sighted submitters. Even if they claim to want to read work from all authors.
Today, I have to decide if I want to send some #Poetry
to a specific outlet.
When I tried a few days ago, It required a blind author blocker - captcha.
Which means, as a blind author, I have to find a random person walking down the street to come in and lay the captcha game so I can submit the poetry.
Not sure how #Publishers think blind authors can successfully, independently, submit writing through #Blind Blocking #Captchas.
#Google Forms is the worst!

Vanishing Culture: Preserving the #Library System
https://blog.archive.org/2025/04/07/vanishing-culture-preserving-the-library-system
Based on a simple but catastrophic business decision, the big #publishers are making it impossible for libraries to do their core functions of preservation and enduring access in the digital era. #Netflix, for instance, recently changed its terms of service to explicitly prohibit #archiving, therefore allowing them to remove or change any movie for all subscribers at once

Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan Publishers, Simon & Schuster, and Sourcebooks are advocating for libraries in response to the March 14 executive order dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

Google’s AI-driven search provides direct answers, which cuts publisher website traffic. Publishers feel betrayed but fear blocking Google, which could further reduce their online visibility and reach.

#AI bots are destroying OpenAccess by @gluejar
AI companies are hard at work destroying the websites of #libraries, #archives, non-profit organizations, and scholarly #publishers.

Search Engine Journal: Google Provides Timeline To Improve Publishers’ Search Visibility. “Google has publicly committed to December 31 as a deadline for improving how independent publishers appear in search results. This timeline emerged during an exchange on X between Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, and several concerned publishers.” I will be very happy if this happens. […]

#Publishers say that #BookTok wants #escapism. Now the grim, brutal new #HungerGames #novel is blowing #readers’ minds.

#Publishers fear that #libraries will stop buying books on #DEI topics.
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/books-publishing/2025/03/21/academic-publishers-braced-slowdown-trump-dei-purge
But the article offers no evidence that the publisher fears are justified. Has anyone seen evidence libraries are cutting back, or plan to cut back, on new titles on DEI topics?
This is also a reminder of why I have an active #boycott of the #publishers and their imprints that sued #InternetArchive.

Not impressed with legacy #publishers, in this case #Brill.
- Publisher's website of (discontinued) journal has no content anymore: https://brill.com/view/journals/hew/hew-overview.xml
- #DOI to article does not resolve: http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/157018606779068306
For purely academic purposes of verification, I was able to ascertain that the paper exists and would be available from alternative sources...
