Key takeaways:
-Misinformation isn’t just false facts—it’s tied to our social belonging.
-Media literacy tools can help build critical-thinking muscles.
-Broadening identities and conversations across different groups = stronger defenses against misleading info.

As part of our In Conversation series, anthropologist @slaydok.bsky.social spoke with architecture writer @pauldobraszczyk.bsky.social & practitioner/researcher Joyce Hwang about their visions for a discipline that regards nonhuman animals as subjects of human design — and sometimes vice versa. 🦊
Architects don’t just design for humans. They design, intentionally or not, for all of the nonhuman species affected by human-built structures. Western architecture has long been a driver of ecological destruction: How can we build to accommodate other species as cohabitants of a shared environment?
Animal Architecture: In Conversation
An animal studies scholar talks with an architect and an architecture writer about designing for, and with, nonhuman species.

I considered deleting social media, softening my tone in my research, & avoiding the no-no words in order to avoid being targeted by government. But I remembered that none of that would matter because I’m still black and a woman. So I might as well go down in a blaze of glory. Fuck Donald Trump.
Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

1938 krävde Nazityskland att utländska företag som gjorde affärer med Tyskland skulle ”arianiseras”, dvs rensa ut judar, i enlighet med då gällande tyska lagar.
Trump-administrationen kräver alltså att Europeiska företag som levererar till den slutar med mångfalds- och inkluderings arbete. Nu testas hur djupgående våra värderingar egentligen är. Ser inga svenska medier skriva om den här frågan, och jag förstår det inte. www.aftenposten.no/verden/i/eM4...

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
