Libraries. Pie. A commitment to free things (see library).

[Michele Rosenthal @dialmformichele]

It's such a powerful statement for these Jewish organizations to be demonstrating on Shabbat. "We will not rest" in this context means "the situation is so dire it requires breaking one of our most holy commandments." ❤️

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

Israel has cut off all internet and cellular communication in Gaza.

They don’t want the world to see what they are doing.

We must not look away from this violence, especially during a blackout.

We need a #CeasefireNow.

no time for fear or despair.

@rahaeli I knew in my heart this thread would be bad but just seeing the first one made me think soooo...land back? It's true, indigenous people DO have more claim to America then the descendants of colonizers.

[Avid Halaby @AvidHalaby]

The stuff uncovered in the Twitter whistleblower report is much crazier than anything in the "Twitter files" but it's much less politically/tribally salient so it got no attention. Going to do a thread on some of the craziest things, in no particular order.

[ziflibrarian @ziflibrarian]

@BC_ALA Is this a joke? Because if it's satire you're failing to include the portion that makes it clear you don't actually favor disinformation and celebrating colonizers.

Kendra Spahr and Laura Bonella of @KState gave #MDLS22 a template of how to build out data services strategically based on the strengths you have, training available, and what your researchers need. Read more on their work supporting Social Sciences here: https://t.co/ZL5g7yYVIh

@Grant_Forks Congratulations!

[OpenStax @OpenStax]

OpenStax currently offers over 45 free (literally, they’re free!), peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks. Do you teach calculus? We offer a 3-volume calculus textbook. Sociology? We recently published our 3rd edition. Biology? We offer that, too! 🧵⬇️

@jmomsen1 @drclintonlisell I am hoping that's pre-empted by the note on agencies designating repositories -- if we could see the equivalent of automated deposit in PubMed set up for all disciplines that would be a huge step forward!

[Little CisGen(d)eral @Lancaster67]

You might assume it's a bad thing for Amazon - the world's largest book and e-book seller - also to own Audible, one of the largest audiobook publishers. And you'd be right; @doctorow draws on his own, painful experience to show you why. #Books #Audiobooks

@RealSexyCyborg @AmericanAir They're not the only ones! Flew through Pearson Airport a week ago and they told me my FloMask wasn't allowed. They were fine with me just putting the surgical they gave me over top it though.

Hello everyone! I've officially started a GoFundMe so that I can get caught up on bills/loans so I can start setting aside money for my and my wife's transitions. Please share! Thank you!

🚨I wrote about what the US can do to fight the ongoing pandemic, which its leaders have decided to sleepwalk through. When political will evaporates, what rises in its place?

This piece is an attempt to resist fatalism, and find hope amid inaction. 1/

Our new study shows that data availability statements are not very useful; 1670 (93%) authors who indicated that data are available on request either did not respond or declined to share their data with us. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology: https://t.co/4IT2Dgphl4

Very intrigued by the concept of peer review training -- this could be helpful to include in new faculty onboarding. The Scholarly Activities committee in my university senate has discussed how to offer better support for early career publishing. #LPForum22
