Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Pete is exactly right. Focus less on be shocked and outraged and more on finding positive ways to organize in your community to fight back.

A lot of people have shared the opening of Chapter One of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder on socials. But I have seen less of the other guidance. So here is Chapter 2: Defend Institutions. My institutions are public libraries & resident unions. What will yours be?

The Flaming Star Nebula. I'm still playing with the different views and color combinations, so I'll likely have a different take on this data in a few weeks, but for now, here's a few I'm happy with. #astrophotography
