THEY DOXXED EA-NĀṢIR
Ea-nāṣir lived in n. 1 Old Street (this is a modern name completely fabricated by Sir Leonard Wooley, the excavator at the time) of area AH. This home was finely built and stood with an area of 110 m2, an average home in this neighborhood being about 70 m2.

An Open Letter to our Publishers has been sent to over 90 Publishing CEOs this morning in response to the concerns of our members. 1/4
![With the election of the trump administration and its policies as embodied by Project 2025, we authors have deep concerns about how our publishers will be operating and how publishers will advocate for and protect authors. Trump's agenda explicitly calls for the criminalization of authors, teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals with the consequences including, "imprison[ment]," and being "classed as registered sex offenders" (pg 4 Project 2025)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5jnockxrg63tj4sh24j2y6br/bafkreifuobvu6qojz5fectj7ptbwrzp4t3mpvojwwcnapxprdhn7oc6c5a@jpeg)

i'm not sure where the idea that we can change the minds of people who fundamentally disagree with us on social media came from, but I think these places are infinitely more valuable as spots to share resources and ideas with people who largely agree with us and want to learn or get organized.

There’s a lot of reasons to learn labor history, one big one is that many of us have never lived in a time of real worker power, or seen it exercised. We’ve never seen a general strike shut down our city and bring bosses to their knees. But it’s happened before and it will happen again.
