Just a reminder this list is drawn from a piece written by four researchers for MICROSOFT (data scientists, CS people, economists) who have never stepped foot in an archive/never taken an oral history/studied material culture, by their CVs.
Unlike them, I do my research, and don't talk out my ass.
Please support your local libraries. They're the epitome of "knowledge is for everyone & must be free." They provide services to the homeless & rent out laptops for students in need. They're angels.
Use Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy (The Godfather is on Hoopla to convince you 🎬!)
It's all FREE!
Well, this is a disaster.

I made this ad nearly 40 years ago for Marvel.
It was intended to make you think about a fictional world where such horror could exist, not make you realize you were actually living in that world.
CBP policies allow searches of travelers’ devices even without direct suspicion of the traveler. You might think you have nothing to hide, “but maybe you’re associated with someone who is under government scrutiny,” EFF’s Sophia Cope told @miamiherald.com.
Location data has been used to target many vulnerable groups -- immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone seeking reproductive healthcare. It’s a tool of surveillance, and it’s being weaponized. Here’s how some legislators are fighting back to protect your privacy.
