How to opt out of AI summaries of your work on academia.edu
Whoa! Thanks for the tip. For other folks wanting to do this, here are screenshots of what I just did. Start by going to you "Account Settings." Then follow the screenshots below. And yes, when given the option "Are you sure you want to proceed?," you better believe I hit that sucker!

The National Archives is full of old fossils.
No, not the staff/visitors - I mean this report of mastodon remains found along the Ohio River, included as a brief annotation in this map of lands ceded in 1768 Fort Stanwix treaty.
Either that or a REALLY big bison.

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.
