Just mentioning for no particular reason, life sure is easier when you deliberately and carefully select the people you spend time with

“I don’t know enough about this situation to make an informed observation,” I say, even through I do and I have. I just don’t want to talk to this dumb fuck about it

“At this critical moment, we must put our tools as #information workers to use. Support for Israel’s present actions builds on a surging wave of #disinformation, the latest in a longstanding campaign to normalize Israeli #colonization and #violence. Those of us who live in countries providing support to Israel have a special obligation to strengthen our media literacy and dispel misinformation.”

“This is the paradox of tolerance, the treason of free speech: we hesitate to admit that some people are just fucking evil and need to be stopped.”

Hello hello! I’m looking for #bookstores that carry #zines, and who might be interested in carrying mine!

I work with Screaming Into The Future to make zines on #queer / #trans topics. We work closely with orgs like @mappingtransjoy and @SolidarityHistory to promote #liberation and #movement causes.

Our growing collection can be found here: https://screamingintothefuture.com/zines/

#Question: are employers allowed to rewrite employees’ job description without the employees’ consent?

I’m hearing a lot about this happening at some places. The employees are just told their job descriptions are updated and they’re not given the chance to have a say in the this.

Is this legal? It seems shady as fuck.

I can’t imagine any other scenario (lease, mortgage, etc) in which this would be legal.

I convinced Scientific American to publish a scholarly article on werewolves and space exploration.

I’m working on this menu of options for people who want to schedule meetings with me

9am - Often available. Cups of Coffee Ingested: ~1.
Will look kinda scruffy and will be slow of mind and sluggish with my jokes.

10am - Sometimes available. Cups of Coffee Ingested ~2-3.
Likely to be more presentable and more quick witted

11am - Availability spotty. Usually fully caffeinated. Might be eager to get to lunch, though, so minimal post meeting chat time

Started this some months ago, but didn’t get far (yes, fine, if you must know I did lose it and had to return it to the library by the time I found it)

But now I own it, and I’m trying again!

Hello friends! I’m so excited to announce the return of the @SolidarityHistory #podcast!

First episode of new season features Michelle Caswell (co-founder of South Asian American Digital Library, and co-Director of the UCLA Community Archives Lab, and author of “Urgent Archives). We talked about the radical potential of archives and causing trouble at work.

If you’re into #archives, #communityArchives, #history, #librairies , #memoryWork, this is for you!!

My first several jobs in #archives were term positions, and that really sucked.

Excited to read though “Best Practices for Archival Term Positions,” which was just endorsed by the Society of American #Archivists

“At the foundation of this document is the recognition that temporary #labor is detrimental to employees, as well as to #sustainable and holistic #collection stewardship.”
