This morning I want to help debunk a headline I keep seeing about Black Women's unemployment: By the end of 2025, 600,000 Black women were not out of the workforce. That number signifies who got DISPLACED. The end-of-year number is actually between 217,000 and 250,000 cc @epi.org and IWPR.

This was a fun convo! It was also sort of an intimidating one since I don’t normally talk ab the process —which is often very hacky and experimental!— behind early investigations. I love Indicator. I regularly forward it to an agent that keeps track of tools & techniques for me. 🔎 Subscribe!

Moving Beyond Willpower: A New Direction for Media Literacy Instruction by Mandi Goodsett www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2026/moving-...
Academic librarians and others often engage with media literacy instruction by promoting fact-checking strategies, such as lateral reading or Mike Caulfield’s SIFT. Evidence shows that these strategies are valuable and can be effective, but they all ultimately rely on individual students to use willpower to overcome cognitive habits, biases, strong parasocial relationships with content creators, the power of algorithms, and other challenges to fact-checking content in the moment. This paper offers an alternative approach that instead encourages librarians to support students in intentionally redesigning their information environments to improve the quality of information that they encounter in the first place.
