Something I've really noticed among institutional "responses" to generative technologies is that "DO NOT USE THIS TOOL, IT'S COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE" is fudamentally erased from any possibility of ever being an option Often paired with fatalist stuff like "this isn't going away"

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔

Teen Vogue's Closure and the Quiet Defunding of Worker Consciousness
Teen Vogue’s shutdown marks more than a media loss. This is a warning about how profit-driven consolidation quietly dismantles worker awareness and voice.

Disability Visibility at Teen Vogue was such an important way to raise awareness of the disabled experience. Alice’s column was heartfelt, vulnerable, honest and represented our community so well. Gutted (yet not surprised) to hear the Teen Vogue cuts impacted it too.

Tomorrow's Invertober is the red sea urchin and I spent half an hour looking for photos of this juvenile who was so vivid in my mind I could swear I saw it this summer. It was actually from 2021. Little guy made quite the impression!

Tidal habitats definitely deserve more attention. The inexorable advance and retreat of the water fascinates me so I made a mini documentary about it. Filled with birds and other creatures!

A fossilized Bryozoan sea mat from over 300 million years ago and a couple of ones I found growing on some seaweed a few weeks back. Relatively unchanged after all that time!! County Donegal, Ireland.

Barnacle went under the entryway console and found an old shoe. He dragged it out and now Crow is obsessed with the shoe. I should put it in the trash but I think I will let them worship the shoe a little longer.

There is a LOT of data in GBIF (1.9 billion records), but there is currently no way for Indigenous people to identify their data. So GBIF launched an Indigenous Data Task force to strengthen indigenous voices & ensure ethical use of their data.
