I kind of want to talk about information as an extractive industry that can be exploitative without careful safeguards, but not sure if it's the right time to have that conversation?

Hello from National History Day's Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn 👋🏼 We need your help to power National History Day. We will host our 2025 National Contest regardless, but we need private funding now more than ever in the face of cuts to NEH. Can you help? ➡️ nhd.org/donate

Good things this week: My admin is increasing the amount of health insurance they’re paying for. Our college food bank is FULL to bursting. Nobody goes hungry here. Summer will see locally-grown produce, eggs, honey, meat. We’re working on financial and economic civics education.

We are the ones who are coming to save us.

I’m not a fish person but I follow a lot of aquarium subreddits. There’s a type of fish called a cichlid. When it’s small, it will eat minnows. When it gets very big, it will eat other large cichlids and leave most of the minnows alone.

Intertribal Pow Wow is today! Folly to trust the spring, so we scheduled it for indoors. And it’s snowing today, hard. We feel smart. This is my ribbon skirt. It’s a combo Nishnebek/Chahta design. Accidentally cut upon unboxing and repaired by a Diné elder in exchange for a Nishnebek necklace. ❤️

Repetitive stress injuries and trashed lungs sure aren’t boring!

Effective immediately: Heard Island will be canceling our contract with Spacex for ALL future space travel. Dr. Amelia Sealhart and CPT Charles Icebergh will be leading our charge to adapt all flightless birds to flight capability. This will supplement our already extensive Albatross Space Force

THIS is what I want for National Library Day.

>we're getting the finance bros in the national divorce Yeah, we are rocketing past 2008 Obama and entering FDR levels of insane coalition building at this point

The billionaires have begun to eat each other, IU men’s basketball is being forced to clean house of sexual predators, and I got community requests yesterday for anti-ICE resources. “What can I do to protect my neighbors?” they said. Pretty good day.

The internet of things is truly a wonder. 😝 #dishwasher #parody #iot

📚 The work that needs doing is still getting done. Currently attending a presentation on using GIS mapping to smooth the way for reservation-centered freight rail line additions. Our students continue to make a difference, and librarians continue to support their research!

Sure, everything is horrifying and we’re all gonna starve. But it’s fun to watch corporate bootlickers spin out on CNBC next to graphics showing their stock valuations vanish like a fart in the wind.
