I already liked @govpritzker.illinois.gov, but now that I see he's willing to support heritage preservation, I'm an even bigger fan! Money invested in historic preservation pays back in multitudes!
When the community reached out for support to preserve the Sweetwater Saloon in Golconda, my administration took action and helped save it.
With this grant, the State is proud to support the revitalization of this historic landmark.

This is such a difficult time for those of us in cultural resource management. If you're not sure what that is, it's the preservation/conservation of heritage.
There have been multiple times in the last couple of months where I've wanted to throw my hands up and scream "why bother?"

Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. I will never forget 1997. My 11 year old self before the streaming era trying to discover new music, and it was the only song every single radio station played over and over and over again.
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I love open access. Between this and the incredible work that UCL puts out in Critical Heritage Studies, there is some great work available on making heritage relevant to society.

One time I saw this tractor protest in downtown Ljubljana. Honestly I have no idea what it was about specifically, but I believe #farmers were being impacted by government policies.

The Smithville Rosenwald School. The school opened in September 1928 and closed in May 1955. According to the book Smithville, Georgia: A Glimpse Into the Past the school was then turned into an apartment house. Today it is wasting away. #rosenwaldschool #smithvillega #abandonedgeorgia

I am clinging to silver linings right now - one of which includes just how much content @lindsayagraham.bsky.social has for American Scandal. Easily the best podcast. I can't believe I'll one day hear about our current lived experience through his storytelling.

Oh so, a salary? What money is being saved here? You're basically stealing intellectual labor and then charging more for it.
If you've got $20,000 a month, you could hire several actual humans with PhDs to do whatever it is you think needs doing.
If you’ve got $20,000 a month to spend on a “PhD level” ai agent, just hire a person.

This is Anton Smirnov. As students, we excavated at Chersonesos in the Crimean peninsula. We bonded over beers, archaeology, and jokes in different languages
Anton was a peaceful archaeologist. He died last year fighting for his country against Russian invaders

@saikatc.bsky.social is one to follow - seeking to unseat Pelosi and hopefully bring actual change.
The budget has not passed yet. It will go to reconciliation and then need to be voted on.
If Dems care about Medicaid, they need to put attack ads up in all the swing seat Republican districts now. Instead of texting us for money, text voters to tell them what just happened.

Sometimes I resent having to be a person who cares, but that's just the exhaustion talking.
I will continue to care, but I'm going to daydream a little bit about what it must feel like to be apathetic.
