Indigenous Peoples have always been scientists
Indigenous Peoples have always been data experts
Indigenous Peoples have the answers
Western science/scientists don’t have to listen to us/believe us, just stay out of our way!

Woke up very proud to be an Indigenous scientist🔥 ♥️

Have you ever been, like, corrected for, like, using “like” like this?

Well then, I have some good news for you:

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I just had an appointment with my doctor and of course I brought along a member of the city council to advise. Thanks Dr. Oz for the suggestion!

[Abraham Piper @abrahampiper]

Have you ever stared at a word and it starts to look like nonsense? You know it’s spelled correctly...but...is it?

Well, there’s a name for that.

In 1922, neighbours heard screams coming from a house in the affluent LA area of Layfette Park. When the police arrived, they found Fred Oesterreich dead & his wife Dolly locked inside in a closet. They were certain Dolly had done it, but they had no idea how.

One of the biggest concerns is impacts on student staff, who are the most financially vulnerable and have the least options for leave. Missing a shift can mean missing a meal or not making the rent.

[Gabe Gossett @GabeGoGabe]

I'm curious how others managing library operations are approaching staffing issues related to climate change?

[Gabe Gossett @GabeGoGabe]

One thing we are trying to do is build on some of the online functions established during the pandemic. That has its limits when other operations on in-person though.

I just got an Etsy order from Kharkiv. Can’t believe it.

@ForgetTheMaine Agreed 100%. It’s a pretty clear cut case of fascist imperialism. Putin has, bizarrely tried to claim he is the one actually fighting against fascists. More bizarre anyone actually believes that.

[Librarianshipwreck @libshipwreck]

In the saga of Lizzo and the crystal flute one of the interesting divisions is that library/archive professionals (and historians) are pretty uniformly saying “this is great” and the people who are having meltdowns have never actually used special collections material.

[Gabe Gossett @GabeGoGabe]

@emeriticus The world's most preeminent flutist highlighted items in a historical collection. The only humiliation here is your tweet.

[Gabe Gossett @GabeGoGabe]

Universities should not be striving for record enrollments while also having notable hiring and retention problems. Thinking about a speech yesterday that contained both but did not make the connection needed between the issues.

[Gabe Gossett @GabeGoGabe]

I had mixed feelings about getting superfluous items from a war zone, but a letter that came with some glass spiders from Venus Glass Art in Kyiv made clear the importance of this income. So if you looking for some cool Halloween decor, maybe check it out https://t.co/nEQhGsiJ7A

[Gabe Gossett @GabeGoGabe]

I did some Halloween shopping on Etsy a few weeks ago. After placing my orders, I saw that all of the items were coming from Ukraine, one of them from Kharkiv! I'm astonished that I've got everything or it is in transit.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC
