nice summary of the transphobe movement here ironically. "this person is doing something with their own body I don't like despite it not affecting me in the slightest, I'm going to move heaven and earth to stop them, fuck you"

the Claudine Gay "plagiarism scandal" was such a vivid illustration of this, the paper deciding to do constant, full court press coverage of a story that had tenuous actual news value.

In this chat, we suggest a distinction between covering something (NYT does great reporting on Trump's autocratic plans), and *crusading.* The latter is wholly different: It uses saturation coverage to alert readers that they should be alarmed. That's just not happening w/r/t Trump's unfitness.

Dear academia, go you for having lectures tying science with science fiction! One request, though: Please, for the love of Spock, have someone on the panel who read a SF book written in the past 25 years. It’d be even better if all suggestions weren’t written by white dudes too. Thanks, Me.

Overwhelmed by the responses from my fellow archivists and members of the GLAM community! Thank you all so much and I'll try to get the first post out as soon as possible - and as soon as I have time to do some reading! Y'all are amazing! #GLAMS 📜

Could the kindly people in the GLAM community lead me towards any zines created by people within the GLAM community about GLAM subjects? I want to do a post or a few posts about professionals using specific mediums within the pop culture landscape. Links are appreciated! 📜 #GLAMS #zines
