During my work as an archivist-records manager advisor at NARA, I knew something of the good work done by, and good people at 18F. This is terrible. BTW- to those involved in #records/#data #management. Please make sure your disposition schedules are closely followed, and records properly retired.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

A friend’s comment- ‘Even better, for Lent give up all shopping except for food, gas and medicine. We need to do this for more than one day to really make a difference.’ And I’d propose walking/bicycling/public transportation/ when possible. Lent begins March 5. A little extra penance is good.

‘The Great Migrations: A People on the Move,’ was, not unexpectedly, very good. The final episode, on Pan-Africanism, and international migrations of Black people during the late 20th, early 21st centuries to the US, was overwhelming. Once in a while, I realize how I’ve just drifted through life.

From the Common Lectionary read in the US Protestant Episcopal Church on February 23. I’m hearing this, reading it, and I’m like- ‘Be Still My Beating Platonic Heart!’ This line of thinking turns out to be fraught.One reason being Paul was appealing to an educated Greek audience. But still.

On February 23, 1915 Robert Smalls passed away at his home in Beaufort; a house in which he was born enslaved, and died free after purchasing the property that his enslaver had abandoned during the Civil War. Smalls was buried at Tabernacle Baptist Church within the community he loved so well.

Sometimes I wonder why ‘60 Minutes’ seems to be the only media outlet willing, and seeming being unafraid, to do investigative reporting, with facts that are, prima facie, obvious.
