It's #TransDayOfVisibility2025.

We're never going to be erased

Some people just can't accept that the world is so much bigger than their narrow little minds

They're going to have to learn to open their hearts and accept that their simple gender scripts were only ever the starter pack

National Parks Had a Record Year. Trump Officials Appear to Want It Kept Quiet. As the administration fires rangers and other workers, an internal memo is directing the National Park Service not to publicize visitors numbers.

I'm going to talk a bit about how the Trump administration doesn't want the National Park Service to share anything about their visit data. Because it shows that they just had a record year and that people love the National Parks

Does Bluesky have any kind of "ask me before people can follow" option? I'm glad to see more familiar faces here but some are not familiar!

I second Garmin! I'm not sure about the privacy aspect, but anything that doesn't go directly to Google is a win in my book. If you're a stats junkie my wife loves Whoop, but it requires a monthly subscription.

Roses are red;
Violets are bloominโ€™
Academic labour is much safer
When itโ€™s protected by a union

Does anyone know a great example of a digital humanities #textmining project that uses collocation and word frequency analysis? For teaching purposes, so really needs good visualizations ๐Ÿ“ˆ
