Fascinating! @Christy_SpaceHW doing cool work w GIS in modeling enslaved freedom seekers in the Great Dismal Swamp. Struck by subversion of intended use of colonial datasets & proprietary, nonneutral (arguably imperial) tools like ArcGIS for liberatory meaning-making #AHA23 #s194

Informed by a customer service rep at @MannCenter that refunds are "on hold" until it's been sorted whether @courtneymelba & @lucydacus can reschedule at this venue in the fall. Asked when the Mann will communicate this to customers or offer other options?: "Maybe next week."

YouTube has removed all of @Cornell_Library content because of lectures relating to On Our Backs magazine. Not content of the magazine itself, mind you. Content of people TALKING ABOUT the magazine. “Terminated” - Susie Bright’s Journal
