I learned about the @eotarchive.org project earlier this year thanks to MIT libraries. Turns out librarians have been on top of systematically backing up government websites before presidential transitions for over a decade! eotarchive.org

If you’re tired of seeing autoplaying GIFs from yesterday, you can it off under Settings >> Content and Media. You can also turn off trending topics (I did). This is your feed and we need energy to get through the next few years.

“What is a woman?” Is a question I have been deeply invested in for as long as I can remember. This lovely thread unpacks among other things the grief of its co-opting.
In my notifications this morning, a probably bad faith person claimed to be trans and asked me to answer the question “What is a woman?” Then when I looked for the reply it was gone. 1/9

Thank you @ufw.bsky.social for helping me know who sits with my family at the table today
Fresh herbs are harvested and bundled by hand. Parsley workers in Ventura County, CA are paid a piece rate of around $2 per crate of 60-65 bundles. The skill and speed of the worker here is remarkable.

Jovany was one of more than 200 workers picking garlic at peak season in Coalinga, CA. They started working at 5am and finished up their day by 11:30 to avoid the hottest part of the day - which reached 106°. They were paid around $3 for each bucket they filled.

Jesus shared this pic of the pomegranate harvest in Madera, CA. Jesus is paid a piece rate per bin rather than by the hour, so he works at a rapid pace to make ends meet. Thank Jesus for this beautiful fruit.

The way the world - hell, more than half of academia - has NO fucking clue there’s a whole field of scholars who study communication & media🙃
*looks directly into the camera on behalf of the entire field of study that closely examines how people get their news*
"Carville: I’m pretty limited to the media consumption survey. I’m pretty limited right now to how people get their news, which I don’t know…"
Thousands upon thousands of studies about this. The fact that someone in Carville's position thinks he has to reinvent the wheel isn't great.

Last year at the Institute for Advanced Study, I had the great pleasure of convening an amazing group of multidisciplinary scholars on the topic of the platform in society. One of our collective efforts was "5 Theses on the Gravity of Platforms" www.ias.edu/stsv-lab/fiv...
