I usually don’t notice when my social media stats go up or down because my brain isn’t inclined to remember numbers but whoa. Hi new comrades! I hope you like Tori Amos and cats.
The most shared podcast episodes this year look to be a lot of medical disinformation. Cool cool.

Does anyone have a good sample of a letter of introduction to provide a student to use foreign archives? The AHA claims to have one but it is a broken link. We need one in Spanish, Italian, and German. C'mon, help a girl out, people!

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.
Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.
It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

I'm on the job market! I'm seeking interesting places, projects and opportunities at the intersection of STS, political ecology, and environmental humanities. My areas of interest and research so far span these areas and as well as arts-based research and sound studies!

Animal Planet is streaming old Crocodile Hunter on YouTube, and I’m adding him to my list of cishet dudes who did alright by other humans.
I know the many snakes he picked up didn’t find him as enchanting.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

I have never once in my life been paid to protest. I use my own personal time to send a message to government or other institutions. I pay for my own needs at any protest I attend: Mask, sign, water, transit to and from. This talking point is dumb.
