@Raemondjjjj Agreed. Can hardly stand this site except for these occasional gems.

October Brings Deep Cuts at Several Campuses

.@Portland_State sent layoff notices to nearly 100 faculty members, while @SLU_Official axed 23 jobs and froze hiring for 130 vacant positions last month. https://t.co/qEGVIGUHDP

Two Kansas City trees I want to take home: at Truman House & @nelson_atkins museum (which is the 💣 ❤️).

Talking about Indigenous dispossession, manifest destiny, & colonial imaginaries from Philadelphia to San Francisco & Greenville, CA. Tomorrow morning (Th . 8:15 am) in the *Benton* Room (😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫). Talk about irony. #WHA2024

[Terri A. Castaneda @tacanth]

Gorgeous.

I have never wanted a door more than I want this hand-carved owl door from Denmark. The beak is the door knocker 🦉

[Terri A. Castaneda @tacanth]

@TiffanyKWayne Yes! Didn't have enough characters left to talk abt all the obscure mags, journals, & out-of-print books that we all need to produce more books. I'm writing a book partly abt the materiality of books. I collect books. FACT: this digital library helps produce new physical books.

Here is a short video of one of the 1st Klamath River salmon to make it to the tributaries above the former Iron Gate Dam. The clip was recorded last Friday by Yurok Fisheries Dept Geologist Kayah Ray, who is part of a team surveying salmon in the newly undammed river reach.

[Save California Salmon @SaveCaliSalmon]

"In an early victory for the nation’s largest dam-removal project, the first salmon in more than a century is believed to have pushed up the Klamath River this past week into waters formerly blocked by dams.”

Just wrote a couple sentences (maybe 40 words) summarizing about 25 hours of intensive research. 🙃 #writinglife

@brettachapman Why are we shocked? (I admit I am, but these are the people who happily gave us 45.) Vomit. 🤮

@davidshorter Yes, I remember that well from my grad days--uh yrs.--as a copy ed. for the journal Cultural Anth. Also recall the *many* authors who were too precious to trim dissertation-length FNs. Still rather have FNs. Also think they're good for students to encounter/see.

[Terri A. Castaneda @tacanth]

Okay, but I protest.

Out Now! "Damming the Reservation: Tribal Sovereignty and Activism at Fort Berthold" by Angela K. Parker documents what can happen when a settler colonial nation tramples tribal rights while exerting control over rural hinterlands. https://t.co/ukDcRrK4Zu

Mark your calendars- Sacramento Archives Crawl is back and we're participating again! Head over to 914 Capitol Mall on Oct. 5 from 10am-4pm to see what our creative staff has pulled from our collection. #sacarchivescrawl

[Terri A. Castaneda @tacanth]

@JeremiahSladeck Totally. I always have to have a moment of recovery (re: “what if I hadn’t found that?!”). Also why doing one’s own archival research can be impt. There’s a fund of knowledge we build out from a center point and it always (for me) informs the latter.

[Terri A. Castaneda @tacanth]

When you get a good nite's sleep bc you finally (after 3 long yrs) have proof of a rev. war bounty land warrant that’s critical to your case of generational wealth building via dispossession--found while searching for something else! The research process can be so serendipitous.
