Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Stuck this to the window and now the world makes a LITTLE more sense...
There's a sticker on a window that read, "Directed by DAVID LYNCH," and now my fucked up funhouse of a ilife doesn't seem QUITE as - no, that's not quite right. It's still a surreal, bizarre, whackadoo carnival of fuckery from hell. But at least if it's taking place in a Lynchian universe, I can assuage my devastating anxiety and terror with the knowledge that all of this is ordinary in Lynchworld. Now all I have to do is keep an eye out for anything that seems NORMAL in the NORMAL sense... because that's the shit that'll really fuck you up.

Duke's herbarium is the second-largest private university herbarium in the US, behind Harvard, and Duke is seen as a research leader; when collections like this close, it endangers others, especially at smaller institutions. This could be very bad if other universities follow suit.
