Look forward to reviewing some datasets with everyone!

Took me longer than usual to draft my comment* but I finally wrote my thoughts on proposed changes to federal grant funding!!! Want to write your own? You don't need to be like me and take 3 weeks. APS has a comment tool! (*Note: Census is in the hot seat, so there've been other fires to address.)

We know that many people are commenting (over 80,000) on the OMB's proposed changes, but there is still time, and every voice matters. APS has created a great tool that you can use to respond to specific portions and customize your comment for submission. www.aps.org/initiatives/...

We know we said we wouldn’t post much… but inspo struck us. Happy 4th, from all of us at the DRP!

the @datarescueproject.org is also out here capturing data. It’s been paid for by the people. it belongs to the people.

Not a conspiracy. Not pattern matching. Mention a document that makes people look silly, and they will wipe years of documents and paid-for research to save face. Only some forward thinking to save a copy prevents oblvion. Or as the Internet Archive calls it, Friday. Anyway. archive.org/donate

If you're feeling mixed feels about July 4th this year, know you're not alone. The past ~18 months have been exhausting and demoralizing. But they have also shown us courage and hope; community and camaraderie. Thank you for showing up every day, even and especially when it feels impossible.

We're going to be a little quieter on here over the next ~week as members of the Steering Committee take some time to rest. Stay hydrated, friends.

Today we're recognizing a full year of #SaveOurSigns. We can't say we're "celebrating" this anniversary - but we are incredibly grateful to everyone who submitted a photo to the #SOSArchive. With more than 15,000 photos (!!!!!) we can track and monitor censorship of the signs in our national parks.
