I love this so much. I've already been QTing my favorite passages. Some more below! Hooray @kawulf.bsky.social for a true tour de force, following along MRT, #SilencingthePast, and reversing some of the silencing in very rich archives.

Yes, that might have been one of the first times I talked to you on the other place, just before the shutdown - you were taking it on the train to the conference (I think with Leslie H!). But thinking about *exactly* how it works is what we need to do now - and this is so great to see!!

Ok, I freaking love this @kawulf.bsky.social. And I love that you're sitting at the head of an institution with such a rich collection and can think now of which documents *already in your collection* have been "talked over" by other documents - and you can highlight them more now!

I don't think people understand the gravity of making librarians and teachers *criminally liable* for disseminating information. Fascist shit, from a known playbook. No one has the luxury of being surprised anymore.

A 5-year-old died after contracting COVID-19 and Strep A while staying at a migrant shelter in Chicago. Heartbreaking. COVID is a migrant justice issue too.

I wish you could see Le chemin du bonheur, which I screened yesterday. SO much quoting of movie lines - and some from Casablanca won a contest among the customers (it's set in a cinephilic Jewish deli in Brussels!). Pastrami + Casablanca lines!
