With the covid risk level now designated as "high," city health officials are strongly recommending that people mask in indoor public spaces, but stopping short of a mandate @MoNscience gothamist.com/news/nyc-reach…
NYC reaches ‘high alert’ level for COVID-19 as cases, hospitalizations continue rising

NYC reaches ‘high alert’ level for COVID-19 as cases, hospitalizations continue rising

Neither Tuesday's announcement nor a health advisory from Monday contained a new mandate for mask wearing, despite city policy recommending such a measure.

This article was so accurate it was painful. It’s hard for me at times to continue to speak when I know that racism is always a “not here” problem. To know that even sharing this & saying that EVERY library does this will not matter. It will always be downplayed and/or erased 1/3

After spending a few years cutting through Big Tech's B.S. about AI ethics, I've created a glossary to help you decode what all of their favorite terms actually mean. I had way too much fun working on this! Threading some of my favorites below. technologyreview.com/2021/04…

Maximum $240k. I hope to see a librarian of color take on this role and use it to employ a cadre of other librarians of color at Harvard to implement anti-racism by design! – at Norwalk, CT

Shout out to all the POC and immigrant custodians and workers out there sanitizing and cleaning during #coronavirus—I know firsthand what that’s like. It ain’t easy. Not everyone has the luxury to work from home. And I just wanna say, I see you. ❤️🧹🧺🧽 #COVID19

Is it time for a thread on my favorite sci-fi and fantasy by trans and nonbinary authors???? I think it is! Buckle up because there's a lot of great SFF by trans people.
