Summer heat is here. Farm workers & other outdoor workers desperately need federal heat standards to save lives. With the government's shift to the right, the need has grown. Sign our petition telling @OSHA_DOL to implement emergency heat rules NOW! ufw.org/oshaemergencyheat #Calor

It's been a while, so I thought I'd give you a quick #pictor update.

Excited at possibly discovering lost WW II footage, I sent it to specialists for care and digitization.
Yesterday, it came back. On it was:

It's #ArchivesHashtagParty and today we are thinking about #ArchivesSustainability. We are phasing out plastic paperclips in favor of paper folders, which are more sustainable and less damaging to our collections.

The prices you have to pay for rights to medieval images are one of the biggest scams of all time. Like yeah sure, take a thousand pounds from me for three six hundred year old pictures that you own because some slave owner donated the manuscripts to you. Cool and normal.

Honestly, there could/should be an entire conference on privacy and ethics devoted to these concerns around memory and forgetting when it comes to the digital afterlife of information, data, and archives in the context of institutions, libraries, and the law. #DigiPres21
