New DRP post on #SaveOurSigns and the recent removals in #Philly and Fort Sumter. 🛟 Please share and let us know if you see removals. You can also submit "after" photos you may take of the removals. www.datarescueproject.org/sos-only-the...

But our archive will never replace the power of the originals that were at 6th & Market. Again, the community fought to have the history recognized. #SaveOurSigns

This is why we did the work of #SaveOurSigbs The signs of the presidents house in #philly will remain available in our archive. We will not forget our history. saveoursigns.org

📚 Does anyone have any good examples of predatory journals for a workshop activity for residents? I give them a few journal websites and they have to identify the predatory ones. Tricky ones welcome.

Happy #MemeMonday to everyone else who is struggling today. We can do this -- but it will be easier to get through it together!

Hey rescuers! Help @climate.us make the Fifth National Climate Assessment easier to find!

And I'm really bad at self-promotion, but if you want to contribute to my storage costs I have a GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/dc3798c09

The protest in Manhattan is so big there's literally a traffic jam of people. We are inching along. #nokings #nycprotest

I remember being at faculty meetings at New College of Florida right before the right wing takeover. It was obvious what was coming. People would suggest we should do something, speak out against DeSantis, and the response was that we were so small, let that come from UF. (1/n)

Very surreal to have a senator use a hashtag I came up with...

@ithakasr.bsky.social recently spoke with DRP members @lyndamk.bsky.social, @quetzal1234.bsky.social, @halle-burns.bsky.social, and @mikalarae.bsky.social about the founding of DRP and all things #DataRescue sr.ithaka.org/blog/preserv...

@nickofferman.bsky.social has "several undeniable loves in [his] life" including "of course, America's national parks." Support our national parks, be courteous to other visitors, clean up after yourselves and your pets, and don't forget to #SaveOurSigns

The purpose of government is to provide public goods. Public data are a public good. This should never be privatized. While we can (and have) rescued some of this data, we need people to speak out about the halting of data collection!

Really nice discussion of actionable items nightingaledvs.com/data-communi...

We have a big announcement & it involves a bevy of nautical themes. The DRP can now take donations! Read more about what we need & how you can help. Everyone is welcome to become a part of the crew, though, even if you don't have the financial means. 🛟 ❤️ www.datarescueproject.org/help-us-keep...
