The scholars are recording convos w friends/fam who lived between 50s-80s to talk about changes in food/ag this week. I HIGHLY recommend incorporating short oral history exercises in classes. I'm getting so many emails abt happy reconnections with grandparents😭

Giving The Archive from @ctietze a spin. So far: all the good of #nvalt (no proprietary database of file format, super fast search, etc), but more powerful and more suited for researchers. Check it out! zettelkasten.de/the-archive/

Here's the essence of mc testing. Nothing is sacred when the goal is to increase the "discrimination index" (gotta love that language), not even historical accuracy!
