Hello!! I am conducting a panel about this open access paper about workplace dissatisfaction amongst digital preservation practitioners with my co-authors.

Since the panel is pre-recorded, we wanted to get "audience" questions ahead of time to answer!!

This is the paper: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/jcas/vol7/iss1/13/

I would be soooo grateful if anyone wanted to send me any questions about the paper. Things you disagreed with, things you want us to expand on, etc!

Pacifism is too often held up as the ultimate good stance, and it's almost always encouraged by oppressors.
Pacifism can be admirable, but more often it's simply a tool of the privileged to pass the responsibility of revolution on to the marginalised and week.

"Well I think death is bad and don't wish it on anyone", when applied to a genocidal ruler, is simply saying "I do not wish to dirty my own hands to stop the genocide"

Chucklefish was literally founded on abuse and exploitation, they would not exist without thousands of hours of unpaid labour, and as such should not exist.
Never support them under any circumstances.

"Tropical Storm Sally is expected to make landfall by Tuesday at unknown intensity––it could be a Cat 2 hurricane or higher––with New Orleans directly in its path. The storm will hit Louisiana and Mississippi, states with the 2nd and 3rd highest incarceration rates per capita. There are tens of thousands of people behind bars directly in the storm’s path with no ability to evacuate or procure their own clean water, food, or basic hygiene in its aftermath."

after a year of exclusivity im releasing my game Restricted Airspace publicly. the game was inspired by a fear i carried for years that Beirut would be destroyed -- a fear that came true last month. so on the 40th day after the tragedy, the traditional day of mourning, im releasing a version of the game with no antagonists, no explosions, no smoke, no inevitable loss.

all proceeds go towards the reconstruction of Beirut.

There’s a solidarity fund, accessible here:
https://www.geo3550.org/join-us/contribute/

Please kick some money our way, because we’re trying to cover the lost wages for all the construction workers who refused to cross our picket line. This will require tons of support. Please boost and share!

Please fill out this form to auto send a letter in support of the GEO strike:

https://actionnetwork.org/letters/strikeforsafecampus

If you’re an academic or connected to a university, please consider making a public statement of support of GEO 3550 and our fight for a safe and just campus!

We’re striking for universal remote work for ALL workers, not just grad students, a universal $2500 emergency grant for all grad students, lifting restrictions on childcare subsidies, and defunding campus cops by 50%. These are incredible demands and as one of the oldest grad student unions, it’s our responsibility to push the most radical demands and really bring thjs university to its knees.

Up the strike!
