    This is an awesome first step. Unfortunately, my research shows that women who meet Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion are more likely to be considered non-notable and nominated for deletion. After these important women are added let’s be sure they stay protected!

    Academia: Wow, we're still struggling with bringing BIPOC into many areas of academia. Why? BIPOC: Give us money? Few of us have generational wealth or savings & we're saddled with comparatively more student debt. Academia: It's a mystery... Anyway here's a diversity workshop.

    Working with a PhD student on this now who helps treat kids with autism. Instead of drs telling patients “don’t Google it” give patients a list of what *to* Google. Manipulators understand how information systems work and exploit media literacies.

    I suggested that she give her patients specific keywords to search or specific pages to read that she knows would give them reliable information. Maybe have printouts or ipads there so they can "find" it themselves.

    Good morning, pals. Today there's a LGBTQ kid in your community who isn't getting the support they need. Be a visible ally whenever you can. It can make a big difference in that kid's life, from showing them they matter to promoting more acceptance all around you.

    Not a metaphor. National Archives of India Annexe building is scheduled for demolition. It contains: 4.5 m files, 25K manuscripts, 1 m maps, ~1 m Mughal Empire documents–many pre-1857. No one knows when this will happen and archivists haven't been consulted to manage the process.

    The impending demolition of the National Archives Annexe — as part of Modi’s prized Central Vista project — is a looming crisis, not just for the study of history, but for Indian democracy. Our latest, from :

    Saw why Kinkos trending. I'll be honest. I never thought voter ID laws were discriminatory until it affected me when we moved to Indiana close to election time. Rushed to DMV to get our "free" voter IDs. Hubby could get one on the spot. Not me.

    But honestly, what they are describing (a network of driverless pods that get you where you want fast and alleviate traffic) is…..a train. Invest in public transportation 🇺🇸
