Hi Friends!
I'm part of a new project with lots of rad #archivists, #OralHistorians, #publicHistorians, and others:
The Southern Memory Workers Collaborative
The central idea is that our #movements need #memoryworkers now more than ever. However, the barriers to learning the skills of #archival science, #oralhistory, and related fields remain significant, especially in the #Southern U.S.
We're looking for ways to increase capacity in the region.

I wrote yesterday about our new Amnesty project and community building and how healthy communities need empathy and care to be able to do the hard work of activism: https://blog.weareopen.coop/strengthening-community-f64c5f34385a
Today @monteiro published a WONDERFUL piece about coalition building and explains that we don't all have to agree: https://buttondown.com/monteiro/archive/how-to-build-a-better-mosh-pit/

New Pod Alert 
Re-Segregation, The Economy, & Living in Reality
I’m Speaking Directly to Project 2025's Reality that the media is too shocked to tell. Jerome Powell, #thefed and the #democrats aren’t living in reality so they’ll never meet the moment.
Facing reality is step one to stopping #fascism and building our #activism and #movements

Hey #library, #archives, #oralHistory & #memoryWorker friends!

(3/N) The first (adapted) question of the #ThreadModelingManifesto is:
The answer in a business context is usually a set of "#assets" that are worth protecting.
Individuals seem to struggle more than businesses with brainstorming specific and relevant "assets", though. The mental link to potential threats seems to be hard to make. That's why I suggest to reflect on a few abstract assets, first – how much do these matter to you, relatively?
#Safety and #wellbeing
Your freedom. Having a home. Your physical and mental integrity. Your autonomy. Having a space of your own, with your boundaries being respected. Creative space and time, free from interference. Being able to own things; or in some cultures, to participate in shared stewardship, and benefit from commons. Integrity of objects and data that belong to you, or that you depend on.
Your #locations and #movements
Where exactly your domicile is. Your travel plans. The freedom to move and to gather, without surveillance or tracking. The right to solitude.
Your #privacy, and your #anonymity
Being able to stay incognito, or pseudonymous. Deciding who gets to know what about you. The option of repudiating claims about what you allegedly believe, have said, or have done – regardless of the facts.
Your #relationships
Knowledge about your family, friends and significant others. Your reputation and public standing. The freedom to associate with others. Knowledge about your memberships, the communities you belong to, and your employment, including the specific hierarchies within those contexts.
Your #personality
Your identity and its facets, including gender. Political affiliations, and religious beliefs. Your hobbies, love interests, feelings, intentions, behaviors, habits, and preferences.
Access to information, goods, and services. Availability of a functional infrastructure that enables such access.

“Movements like the Indieweb and the Fediverse remind me that the ideals I once loved, and that spirit of the early web, aren’t lost. They’re evolving, just like everything else.” — Ben Werdmuller

Our first lecture of the day at the #KonstanzSchoolCollectiveBehavior is by #HannahWilliams on the study of #collective #movements across a variety of systems @cbehav
It is natural that things #change during the course of the centuries, but in a period of #political tensions, like that one we are living, is important to analyse how one of the most important political #movements of the history has evolved in light of technological #development

Tracing #emotions: Together with an interdisciplinary #research team, @MPI_ae's Julia F. Christensen studied #dance #movements to assess emotional expressivity using the newly developed software #EMOKINE. Out now in Behavior Research Methods: https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-024-02433-0
Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza #H5N1 Genotype #B313 in Dairy #Cattle: National Epidemiologic #Brief, #USDA: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/hpai-dairy-national-epi-brief.pdf
Spread of H5N1 between states is linked to cattle #movements (versus independent wild #bird introduction) with further local spread between dairy farms in some states. Disease spread between dairy cattle farms is likely multi-factorial (direct and indirect transmission routes). #Biosecurity is key to mitigate the risk of disease spread.
Hey #library / #archives / #oralHistory friends!
I'm teaching a new #class "Solidarity Memory Work"
We'll learn about #solidarity #movements in allied professions (academic history, journalism, etc.) then discuss (1) how to actively #document and #preserve current movements and organizations, and (2) activate that #records already in #collections to motivate and guide contemporary organizers
Join us?
"Recent times are not just a record of failed #movements. Rather, our age has included some tremendous successes in progressive #organizing." https://www.liberalcurrents.com/how-movements-win/
The #persecution of #trans #people by the #Nazis was #devastating – and it still echoes down the ages.
Before the rise of the #Nazis – #Weimar #Germany was an #epicentre for #LGBTQ+ #people, with #movements #supporting #transgender and #gendernonconforming #folks. That all changed when #AdolphHitler took power in January 1933.
