Fobazi’s article about vocational awe was one of the first things I read in my master’s program at UW, and it set the tone for the type of librarian I would become and in turn influence how I mentor the next generation of librarians. Please donate if you’re able. This field owes so much to her.
Fobazi is currently in the ICU and could use your support. Apologies to those I haven’t been able to reach out to yet. You can message me for more info and I will be posting updates to GoFundMe. Please share, send healing thoughts, prayers, etc. ❤️ -Elena

Taking the opportunity days before the TikTok ban to re-promote my New Media & Society paper (co-authored with @elenamaris.bsky.social and @hibby.bsky.social) about mutual aid practices on TikTok journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
It was not all “dance videos” (but even if it was?).

“Acknowledge,” not condemn. “Cultural generalization,” not racist stereotype. “Reinforces implicit biases,” not made explicitly racist statements. “Dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place,” not we failed our diverse community by platforming racism and xenophobia. 🥴
NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. 1/3
