#WatertownMA - Watertown's "#LibraryOfThings" offers creative #community #workspace. Here's a look inside.

Story by Jordyn Jagolinzer

"The library in Watertown, Massachusetts is providing the tools and a space for people to get creative and learn new skills.

" 'A lot of libraries have started a 'library of things' collection, but they don't have necessarily a space to allow people to just make and create and build community,' Watertown Public Library director Kim Hewitt said. 'We have a big Hatch-maker space and that was one of the first in the area.'

"The 'Hatch' facility on Summer Street is right around the block from the main library. The workshop is stocked with tools, materials and expertise for everyone to learn in a venue that fosters #creativity.

"We have scraps of material to play around with, the #SewingMachines, or create something, #JewelryMaking. It doesn't have to be prescriptive. You can go there and see what appeals to you," Hewitt said.

"The #Hatchspace is a standout amongst similar programs in Massachusetts, and it just celebrated it's tenth birthday. It has #ButtonMakers, #LaserCutters, and even #3DPrinters.

"Talented expert volunteers are on hand to assist patrons with their projects, which is how Seth Deitch first started making things in the space.

" 'We're very lucky to have the people that we have who volunteer here. Many of them are extremely talented. Lots of people with advanced degrees,' Deitch said.

"Hatch also offers workshops that more and more people in the community are getting involved in.

" 'It's nice having a space for the entire community that's free to come to and work at,' Deitch said. 'Nowadays, people spend a lot of their time staring at screens, not enough working with their hands.'

"The best part is, anyone in the state can get in on the fun.

" 'As long as you're a #Massachusetts resident, you can get a library card at the #WatertownPubliclibrary,' said Ran Cronin, the library's access services supervisor.

"The library is hoping to expand the Hatch space. It also has one of the largest English language-learning programs, called #ProjectLiteracy, which serves 900 students per year."

New painting setup! I now have a dedicated space to paint! I scored a really good deal on 2 used monitors for $250 last year. Turns out the second one is brand new! Removing the friction of setting it all up just to paint and having to put it all away again!

Veo a mucha gente comentando que quieren abandonar los servicios de Google y preguntando por alternativas, así que os voy a decir lo que he hecho yo por si os resultara útil. Antes usaba el #Google #Workspace para el trabajo (para cosas personales nunca lo he usado) y lo cambié por la suite de #Infomaniak, una empresa suiza con servidores propios y comprometida tanto con la privacidad como con la sostenibilidad ecológica.

→ New Gemini for Workspace Vulnerability
hiddenlayer.com/innovation-hub

“[W]e’ve demonstrated that attackers can manipulate Gemini for Workspace’s outputs in Gmail, Google Slides, and Google Drive, allowing them to perform #phishing attacks and manipulate the #chatbot’s behavior. While #Google classifies these as "Intended Behaviors", the vulnerabilities explored highlight the importance of being #vigilant when using LLM-powered tools.”

This is where the magic happens. My writing space is appalling, but it works. My desk is stacked with writing notes, unwrapped Christmas presents, books, jewellery, snacks, meds, supplements, stationery, art supplies, computers, and weird witchy stuff like candles, bones, feathers, wasp paper, perfume oils, and pieces of trees. And yes, that is Baba Yaga's hut up there, just below the deer skull. I made that hut for a stop motion project several years ago. It needs some minor repair work. I'll get to it sometime. Maybe.

I only burn the candles when my workspace is neat and tidy. I don't know if I've burned them at all this year. #workspace #clutter #WritingCommunity
