It's important to note that this single-post analysis above is entirely consistent with a much more comprehensive analysis by @ketanjoshi.co showing that changes in the X algorithm and moderation policies that began in Oct 2022 have massively favoured trolls and penalized climate scientists. See:
Musk is remaking Twitter into a climate denier sanctuaryketanjoshi.co I got some data that analyses how climate deniers have changed their audience size, relative to pro-climate accounts, on Musk's Twitter. It's....not good.

I managed to go see ‘Making her mark’ at AGO about women artists in Europe 1400-1800. Not only were there fabulous printmakers but a real focus on #sciart. I was so happy to see several works by Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), entomologist & scientific illustrator #histsci #womenInSTEM 🧵1/n

But if wealth is the best proxy for power, then, I argue, *time* is the best proxy for freedom -- and the theft of time is just as central to slavery as the theft of wealth. What could time-based reparations look like? That's what my article starts to explore. www.rsfjournal.org/content/10/2...
Stolen Lives: Redress for Slavery’s and Jim Crow’s Ongoing Theft of Lifespanwww.rsfjournal.org Reparations proposals typically target wealth. Yet slavery’s and Jim Crow’s long echoes also steal time, such as by producing shorter Black lifespans even today. I argue that lost time should be consi...

Pearl Hart (1871 – 1955) was a Canadian-born outlaw of the American Old West. She committed one of the last recorded stagecoach robberies in the US. Many details of her life are uncertain. Available reports are varied and often contradictory.
