There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...
A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts
Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

You know the Politco article about the Young Republicans praising Hitler and spewing hate speech?

They redacted every slur except the R word.

That tells you everything you need to know about how pervasive ableism is.

No social justice without disability justice.

After years spent there learning the craft of journalism, I could not imagine a world where officials at the Indiana University Media School ordered the school newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student, not to print any news. Yet another sad development at a diminishing program. READ: loom.ly/kVhquyk

FRIENDS! My amazing friend Roxy's feature film, 'JULIA BLUE', is now available to rent or purchase in the U.S. and Canada!

Shot in Ukraine before 2022, the film is a time capsule of a city, country, and people who have been forever changed.

I made a thing called Wellness Ping because someone I care about went silent and it took too long for anyone to notice.

You get regular check-ins via email. If you don't respond, your emergency contacts get notified.

Built it for anyone who might go missing and needs someone to notice […]

I will never stop being tired of Digital Humanities professors who never approach archivists as peers deeming fit to tell archivists how and why to do their jobs differently. It happens time and time again, rarely with a spirit of collaboration and often with an uncomfortable tech-disruptor energy

There are few things I find as pleasant in New Orleans as leaving the door and windows open on a fall day and listening to the nearby high school band practice.

Given his unique position as the holder of a chair in military history in Germany, it's possible Sönke Neitzel felt it was his responsibility to get people in Germany to start thinking more seriously about the country's urgent need to reexamine and its security policy.

The Sept. 26th episode of "Streitkräfte und Strategien" (ARD podcast) was less concerned about "war hysteria" than with the current focus on drones in the public discourse about security. Worthwhile listen, I thought.

In her monumental work, Darya Tsymbalyuk insists the world must reckon with the full cost of the destruction in Ukraine — not just in hectares lost or tons of grain burned, but in the severed roots that once tied generations to the land they called home.
New book exposes Russia’s ecocide as a war against Ukraine’s land – and memory
When Russia destroyed Ukraine’s Kakhovka Hydroelectric Dam in June 2023, unleashing catastrophic floods across the country’s south, it seemed like such a blatant act of environmental and humanitarian ...

Every sign in DC marks the loss of someone’s neighbor, someone’s loved one, someone’s friend.

Every sign marks yet another step in the march toward authoritarianism.
Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’
The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.

This just happened again and it really drives home the extent to which scholarly orgs could build great bridges with museums/historical sites by figuring out how to help them get access to scholarly materials. Those places might, in turn, help support those orgs with people and money.

Working at a museum without access to a university library means spending 6 years thinking about/reading Mark Twain & his reception and then every time I think I had an original thought it turns out @mattseybold.bsky.social tweeted it out in the form of a peer-reviewed article a decade ago.

“Are you worried they’re going to come for you? Are you worried you’ll be arrested?”

Had a therapist asked me this a year ago and I’d said yes, they would’ve locked me away for being paranoid.

Jesus how we’ve fallen.
