Ghost is that platform. @theradr.bsky.social has written about how Ghost is an ethical nonprofit. It’s not that much of a pain. People like the convenience & social networking aspect of Substack. Then they try to convince themselves that’s more important than not giving a fucking inch to fascists.

this morning, i made lemon cupcakes with a vanilla-lemon glaze (from scratch) for a loved one's solar return. it focused my mind and relaxed my spirit, which meant i didn't have my phone nearby, so i didn't take any photos. my bad. #DHBakes

when i was a teacher, i would avoid the teachers' lounge. it was where the most pretentious among us would be. they'd all have their little soapboxes to stand on and expound on whatever was on their mind, even if they were dead ass wrong. bluesky is beginning to look like the teachers' lounge.

a general observation: many of you are bringing your bad habits from the bird site into the sky. you're mindlessly posting and reposting information that is NOT true. the tell is in the speed of and word usage in the posts. digital/information literacy is CRITICAL right now. use it.

This is beautiful to see. Easy enough to do a lazy keyword search from a laptop and make words disappear from a website. But not nearly so swift and invisible to remove our presence in physical spaces. Keep making things and putting them out in the world. #DHmakes

going to add to this because this is very important and i’ve been screaming this from the rooftops for ages. your videos and photos contain EXIF data, which oftentimes includes your LOCATION. screen record your videos and take screenshots to share instead of the original media.

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
