📢UoY staff & students! A member of the library is writing a dissertation about using the library during lockdown. If you studied or worked during lockdown we’d love it if you could fill in this questionnaire. 👇 It should take 15-30 mins to complete.🤗

You can't publish marginalised authors, only to make the environment for those authors so toxic that it destroys their mental health.

Interesting to find out that during every radicalized election, every genocide, every riot around the world over the last 10 years, huge tech platforms could have swiftly identified disinformation and malicious propaganda and paused their distribution of it, but they didn't.
