Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

How do you show a whole digitized book in one thumbnail? Modern books have illustrated covers, but in research collections the cover is often a plain library binding. So I made Flipbook: hover over a book from any #IIIF source and flip through its pages. hadro.github.io/flipbook/ #GLAMsky 📚📜

One thing that is interesting about raising my kid in Texas is we have a window into seeing how authoritarian parents raise their kids. So many fear appeals, so much us v them, so much “don’t disrespect us or else.” It’s terrorism.

THIS. When their "philanthropy" includes tech that has excluded disabled people as designers and then situates them as only receivers of tech's gracious giving, we should be suspicious. Access washing in tech and its philanthropic roots in ableism and racism cannot be ignored.

The dismantling of our public health infrastructure made this outbreak the worst of this century. But worker exploitation is at the root of the problem and not enough people are talking about that
In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money. When exploited raspberry or spinach pickers have no choice but to relieve themselves in a hole next to the field of crops, the potential consequences are obvious. A 2013 outbreak in Texas, for instance, was tied to contaminated cilantro.
Contaminated irrigation water is another potential culprit.
