The SAC’s internet shutdowns are blocking earthquake relief. People can’t get help, responders can’t coordinate, and millions are in the dark. #StopInternetShutdownMM #MyanmarEarthquake

@LauraThurmann What now?! I was just assembling a syllabus for classes I'm going to teach this fall term and wanted to include that book.

And maybe it's just me, but paying a billionaire 8 bucks a month for an icon doesn't seem like "power to the people."

Today is Ask A Museum today, so go ahead and ask me anything you always wanted to know about the history of photography, anthropology, science, & film &/or about my job as Curator at #WeltmuseumWien.

You can comment here or write to me in private. Go for it! 😎

You can both mourn & criticize the person as you grapple with their legacy.

These two positions are not mutually exclusive.

Yet, one of them is often left unheard.

Your infatuation with #TheQueen should not stop you from asking difficult questions about her legacy.

#HAPPENING: Mobile and fiber internet connections are now reportedly down in the major cities in #Myanmar for no reason. Many war-torn places in the country are under the internet shutdown for more than a year since the #BurmaCoup.

Unser Wissenschaftssystem ist seit Langem krank und braucht dringend eine Generalüberholung. Obwohl seit über 2 Jahren gefühlt täglich über Wissenschaft geredet wird, hat kaum jemand die leiseste Ahnung, was in den Laboren und Bibs dieses Landes so alles abgeht.

@timelfen It dies, though it seems I can't order it because it's not out yet :/

🛑 STOP THE SALE 🛑

We are outraged by today’s announcement that the Telenor Myanmar sale has been approved.

But the fight is not over. International actors must implement sanctions & stop the company’s irresponsible disposal of its local operations.
