‘Our Data is Our Stories’ | Q+A: Abigail Echo-Hawk on Data Sovereignty  www.nativenewsonline...

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Movies you’ve watched more than six times using only GIFs.

Post a female character that you love.

This looks like a fantastic postdoc opportunity at Cornell, slated to work with a wonderful team. They're looking for someone who does English/cultural studies + DH, with emphasis on computational work.

This does away with awards based on underrepresentation, student support services based on race, scholarships, etc. Let me explain, pre coffee (wrote this morning, no time to update, you're getting a cut n paste), why this is a bad idea. 🧵 www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

Low-paid academic support staff contending with hiring freezes and layoffs? Why….that there is a money-making opportunity for ol’ CHE.

In better news, I’m making some crow friends.

NASA senior review reports from 2022 (the PDFs linked on this page) have been scrubbed from NASA websites. I am grateful to archive.org who retains these and other important reports for our field. 🔭🧪⚛️ science.nasa.gov/astrophysics...

Asistí las marchas de las Madres de la Plaza cuando era estudiante en Bs As in los 90. Ellas son un modelo de resistencia y comunidad. Solidarity! 🩷 Solidaridad

‘Science can and should as a community organise itself to maximise its ability to act collectively, ethically and – when necessary – politically.’ The scientific community needs to speak up – not just for the sake of science, but of human decency, dignity and morality." @philipcball.bsky.social

Such good analysis here. “…has become a liquified slurry of his defects.” (describing EM) is going to live in my head forever.

I just spit out my coffee.

If you are doing a "datathon" like this, please contact us so we can coordinate efforts. We'd like to know what you are doing. The CDC has gotten much-needed attention, but we are concerned about more. Don't stop there. @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...

That’s my rep! Go Rep. Chu!!

Penn is getting a lot of questions about Data Refuge. That effort no longer exists, but several efforts are currently active. I've created a doc from what I & others have suggested. I'll update as I hear more. Feel free to share or suggest: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I’m trying to download Census shape files from the TIGER site for a GIS class tomorrow….and no go.

Great news! @adamschiff.com Apparently you can clean out a voicemail box!

After a binge re-watch of Our Flag Means Death last night I learned via Wikipedia that Stede Bonnet was a REAL GUY. Shooketh!

The timeline requires adorable cats.

This day in Black history: On February 2, 2025, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter won the Grammy award for Best Country album, becoming the first Black woman to win the award. #Blackhistorymonth

Sarah Kendizor’s work, which I’ve been following and reading in the last 5 years, is among the reasons I’m not surprised about what is happening around us now.

#BlackHistoryMonth: I'm appealing to all who care about private property rights and justice to join our campaign to help stop #BlackLandLoss in my hometown of Elba, AL and help get #JustCompensation for Shiloh homeowners flooded by an ALDOT highway #takings. www.bullardcenter.org/blog/black-l...
