➡️List of OA journals in Communication!
Excellent resource if you want to publish open access (and you should!) and can't or don't want to pay off the big publishers' "Gold" (gilded indeed 💰💰💰🦹‍♂️) open access deals.
Many thanks to @tobiasdienlin.com and @moritzbuchi.bsky.social for curating this!

Apeirogon, if you feel up to it. Station Eleven, if you are up for some pain but need a bit of distance (but don't watch the series). A Gentleman in Moscow, might be similarly close/distant for you (same, avoid the series)

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment.

It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/

At least the protests are back on here. And the court cases accumulate. Who knows, they might still lose. Doesn't currently look like it though.

Also, I can't say I feel safe here, having to renew my visa every year I am waiting for the day they decide that foreign social scientists who don’t swear loyalty to the supremacist cause are no longer welcome. It's complex... but while DJT makes life worse here too, Denver scares me less.

I don't think our far right believes in a version of democracy. Unless "we rule, you f** off" is a version of democracy. The right still has some populist-democratic façade, the far right does not.
