Excited to see the response to tariffs might be growing food. Fucking capitalist authoritarianism one home grown tomato at a time is a bit slow but also makes for better lives along the way. 🍅🥬🍇🍓🍒

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

UK academic friends: anyone aware of anything being done to support non-US students whose visas are being cancelled right now? Support to relocate PhDs, replace lost funding, etc? If not, DM or email me if you’d be interested in spitballing/working on this

#BDCAM25 A very important, but often forgotten point from Adrian Demleitner: "Preservation ( #DigitalPreservation ) is political"

These are über cool conference badges. And the ##BDCAM25 conference is as cool as its badges (yes, I'm one of the organisers, and yes, I'm biased, but it's true).

1 / Executive power now operates via Delete Commands in digital infrastructures. This isn't data management. It's calculated obliteration of who gets to exist in digital memory and knowledge infrastructures. Thank you @verfassungsblog.de for publishing our (@ktmac.bsky.social and my) essay!

Proud parent: This morning conversing with my 13yo, he said, "we'll call them that for copyright reasons" in a really sarcastic I-know-how-capitalism-and-IP-rights-work-and-I-don't-like-it way. 💯🤩😎🥰

Which research environments in Canada are strong for critical legal scholarship? I'm particularly looking for places that support Marxist legal theory, international law, and critical legal geography. Any recommendations?

This is outrageous! A few days ago the Pentagon, in a fight against "diversity", deleted 26,000 photos documenting the contribution of women & minority groups to the US Armed Forces. The move of Arlington National Cemetary is likewise designed to eradicate the memory of women & minority soldiers.

I feel like Bluesky can help with this: I have a nine-year-old who is Dungeons & Dragons curious. They don’t have friends who play (yet). Where should we start if they want to learn more about it?

Has anyone ever partnered with another prof or institution and had students share their work with another class or externally? Wondering what kinds of IRB/FERPA stuff you have to work through to get this to work? Eg. Communication stds making infographics and sharing with external science stds
