Blaming media outlets for this moment is valid. I also know so many journalists of color who tried to bring things up, point things out, report with integrity, and change how communities of color are reported; only to be repeatedly discouraged, dismissed and reprimanded by white editors and managers

Thousands of datasets have disappeared from data.gov. Determining what's gone, why it's gone, and whether it moved elsewhere will to take time. Things are definitely being purged but archivists working hard to determine exactly what has happened to a given dataset www.404media.co/archivists-w...

Archivists Work to Identify and Save the Thousands of Datasets Disappearing From Data.gov
More than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from data.gov since Trump was inaugurated. But analyzing exactly what happened and where it went is going to take some time.

Exigimos que se detenga este manejo negligente y que se implementen de inmediato planes que incluyan reforestación proporcional, consultas comunitarias y monitoreo público. No podemos permitir que el modelo energético actual profundice el daño ambiental y social en nuestras comunidades.

Astronomer Annie Jump Cannon was born #OTD in 1863. She was a pioneer of stellar classification and co-creator of the Harvard Classification Scheme. Over her lifetime she *manually* classified around 350,000 stars. (1/n) 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ Image: Harvard University, Radcliffe Archives

Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom? @transjournalists.org has several valuable resources:
transjournalists.org
Trans Journalists Association
Promoting more accurate, nuanced coverage of trans issues and communities in the media. Supporting gender-expansive journalists in their careers.
