Chaco is a beautiful, culturally important site - like so many of our National Parks sites! - and is in the crosshairs. Info on how to make your voice heard is below.

Chaco Canyon is an incredible archaeological treasure. The idea of sacrificing it for development is reprehensible. Please consider commenting. Toolkit/templates here: apcg.org/chaco/ Link to public comment below. 🏺 #archaeology #iteachsocialstudies

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

I've been doing sexual harassment and assault research and advocacy work since 2012. If there's one thing people need to understand is that everything, literally everything, is stacked against the victim. Every one who comes forward risks their reputation, identity, safety, and more. 1/2

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 11 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/R83IO

Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "11 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.

Completed a new to me art form - Kinusaiga! I found a photo of a whale shark and based the pattern on that. This is done insulation foam with fabric from my stash. No sewing- just tucking the edges into grooves I cut into the foam.

Found this nugget of joy at a local antique/thrift store. The label says “creepy fish taxidermy”. It did not come home with me, only because I couldn’t figure out what I would do with it or to whom I would gift it.
