As someone who built their career on digital programming to expand DEAI access to cultural heritage, the last 6 weeks have been brutal. I’m not just a practitioner, I’m also a researcher who craves quantitative data of what all we’re losing! Add programs you’ve seen disappear to this Google Sheet.

The Society of American Archivists is seeking volunteers for an Archival Labor Task Force. Interested in shaping a worker-centered future of the field? Info here: www2.archivists.org/governance/h...

Disappointed but not surprised is such an adult feeling. Like as a child, you struggle to grasp the complexity of the feeling but as you get older, you really get to understand the depth of it and how it applies to many situations.

Reading work emails at the bar even though I’m technically out of office just to feel something, truly anything today
