Does anyone have recommendations for a beginner video on mutual aid? Like one appropriate for college freshmen?

That's even more messed up.
Oh! I teach about internment and food in my Food Justice class. This could be perfect.
Federal employees can be required to use the name but Google is just choosing to use the name. #donotobeyinadvance
USAID What’s Happening & Why it Matters
What can you do about the assault on USAID?
Share this far and wide. Do your part! Please do retweet 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Alaska lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved a resolution urging President Trump to abandon his plans to rename the continent’s largest mountain from Denali back to Mount McKinley. #ISTANDWITHDENALI
Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?
DON'T DO IT.
If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.
Document, document, document.
Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

Map of the area around Denali
Map of the Day: Denali, the highest peak North America at 20,310 feet (6,190 m). Centuries ago, the Koyukon people gave it the name which means ‘Great One.’ Popular among climbers, the mountain is within Denali National Park.
Where are our checks and balances?
Would that dataset be available from the forest service? #gischat
Yeah, I might be pessimistic. So far the NAIP images I was planning to use for my research seem to still be available, I have downloaded a few years for 2 counties, but I just don't have the computer space to save all that data.
I wonder if there's so many that it will be difficult to create a complete list? @jerry-shannon.bsky.social, myself, and a bunch of other folks tried to record university closings during the pandemic and pretty soon there were so many it was difficult to keep up. #gischat
Strawberry pickers in CA getting information about how to stay safe and avoid deportation while they are working to pick our food.
Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.
I hate Word. Anyone have recommendations for alternatives that aren't so difficult to format documents in?
Stickers on a green-blue background. The sticker shows a black-and-white sketch of Denali, and is cut out in the shape of the profile of the mountain. On the bottom, it says, "6,190m Denal 20,310ft."
A mockup of a poster, showing a black and white sketch of Denali. The paper is white and curled slightly. Atop it is a smaller version of the poster, with less line density. It is labeled with the peak name, its coordinates, and its elevation.
A mockup of three white mugs, each showing a black and white sketch of Denali. Each mug shows a different side, so that most of the design can be seen. One side shows Denali as seen from the northeast, another side shows it from the southeast. The front of the mug lists the mountain name, location, and elevation.
I'm experimenting with putting my hachures on new media. Now I've also got mugs & vinyl decals. If you want to support my art, tell your mountain-loving friends!
And weirdly enough, the designs all still seem to refer to the highest peak in North America as "Denali."

Beautiful!
Hahahaha!
Everyone is like, "Can they do that?" and the answer is, not if we don't let them.
@sciam.bsky.social republished my piece on toponyms. Everyone wants to know "Can the president just do that?" Only if we let him. Rule 1 - Do not obey in advance. Google should be ashamed. He can direct federal employees, but the rest of us don't have to obey. @timothysnyder.bsky.social
Oh maybe we should connect, I have gathered three different lists of gardens and there's lots that need to be added, I just haven't had a chance yet.
I wrote this explainer about toponyms. Toponyms matter. The disturbing part is the executive order clearly states that anyone who doesn't go along with his ideas should be fired. tinyurl.com/s5v4hwxa

If someone trains an AI model, who owns the trained model? Does someone who the underlying algorithms?
I'm mapping community gardens in the Twin Cities as part of a larger effort to map and quantify urban ag. Let me know what I'm missing!
This summer I would like to attend academic conferences but zipping across the country/world on a plane multiple times a year seems irresponsible. I'm planning to buy a rail pass for 30 days and then travel across the US attending conferences. $499 for 10 "legs" of travel in 30 days. Thoughts?
