"I am honored to be a banned book whenever it happens, because I look at the history of books that have been banned; the history of who bans them. I will never be on the side of the people who ban the books. I'm on the other side. I will always be on the side of the libraries." @neilhimself
#ttrpg#worldbuiding tip: If you want to get some inspiration, get "The Dictionary of Imaginary Places" - a guidebook to fantastic locations from world literature. You'll be sure to find something interesting to put into your own settings!

Doing some research, so using sci-hub. How do academic authors agree to let themselves be locked up behind a paywall? I almost feel like I should not cite them to punish them for the short-sightedness of the choice.
The preamble to the Program called for establishment of a "home in #Palestine for the #Jewish people, secured under public law," thus leaving open the question of statehood but affirming that the result required international support
#Ephemera: When unfolded, this album commemorating the First #Zionist Congress (August 29-31, 1897), depicts the delegates.
Here, 162 of them. Figures vary, but 200-250 persons took part, including 17 #women—though they became voting members only in 1898
Interesting that this evidently American document featured portraits of not only the movement’s leaders—but also #Washington and Columbus. Trying to suggest an equivalence of nation-building—or just patriotic filler?
Snapper offers basically the same functionality as Timeshift and is -to my knowledge- developed by openSUSE’s team. So, while finding it therefore pre-configured on say openSUSE Tumbleweed makes sense, it’s also the preferred solution on some other distros like Garuda Linux, Siduction and Spiral Linux.
I'm building a small list of resources for neurodivergent students for my big 1st year undergrad course. What would you recommend that a first year undergrad, who lives with OCD, ASD, ADHD and/or anything else, should read, watch or join.
As far as I know, most #sociology journals don’t have a fediverse presence, but do have RSS article feeds. Would accounts that mirror those feeds be something folks would follow or is RSS/email already filling the need?
Also, I understand there is a #LawFedi account that follows a very large set of folks in the #law community and re-posts popular/trending material. (If you know what it is - I’d appreciate a pointer). Looking at that account might be a good way to catch up. Would that be interesting for social science?
