Paper vs. Digital Formats in Academic Libraries
Dan buries the lede. Fewer paper monographs in general collections are being used, but lots of use nonetheless, especially in digital-format journals & of all formats in special collections. Academic libraries are getting people resources they need in formats appropriate to need. https://t.co/H4nEeCZLBN

Jacob Bacharach
I've just found out about this writer maybe 45 minutes ago.
While it's fun to laugh at shitty ugly starchitecture, the *majority* of bad urban architecture is driven by a combination of mandatory car-centrism and the short-term financial incentives of margin-maximizing, speculative financialized RE development!

We strongly condemn the detention of #JulianAssange and the violation of freedom of speech. Our solidarity is with this brother who is persecuted by the US government for bringing to light its human rights violations, murders of civilians and diplomatic espionage #FreeJulian pic.twitter.com/ls3PWBMSeq

.@TulsiGabbard says the Julian Assange prosecution sets a precedent where the US government can designate a journalist or publisher as a hostile foreign intelligence operation “simply because they don’t like what they publish or the things they’re saying.” https://t.co/tv3odLzTeW

It turns out that bastion of journalism @MeghanMcCain is also against @wikileaks & Assange, saying "I hope he rots in hell." Now imagine the collective aneurysm the establishment would have if someone said that about her dad. Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others.

On the Big Tent
As I read more from the original theorists of intersectionality, I increasingly find their arguments similar to those of the first theorists of conservative fusionism.
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
That is, they were working to build a long-term philosophical justification for what might otherwise have been a political marriage of convenience.
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
Both the US left and right are made of coalitions that often seem to have little in common, but do have a common opponent. Such coalitions are vulnerable to partisans who wish to drive a wedge into the other side.
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
In the post-war right, libertarians, war hawks, and traditionalists shared little beyond their fear and hatred of communism. Their specific interests were often actually at odds.
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
Frank Meyer and others tried very hard to prove that there were no internal contradictions within the broad conservative movement. It was important to demonstrate that all sides, properly understood, wanted the same thing.
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
Later, on the left, the Black Power movement, feminists, immigrant advocates, gay liberation supporters, etc., did not necessarily always have the same policy agenda, but it was important to emphasize that they had shared premises. Intersectionality served that purpose well.
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
I am not arguing that the proponents of either view were cynics. I think Meyer on the right and Kimberle Crenshaw (and others) on the left were sincere. However, trying to view both as an outsider, and looking at their arguments while considering the context of the time …
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
it often seems that the political coalitions came first, and the justifications came second. Over time, however, those justifications were taken for granted, & many among the next generation of activists just assumed that certain groups were (and would always be) natural allies
— George Hawley (@georgehawleyUA) March 3, 2019
Surely someone has written about this, and perhaps someone else has argued that this view is wrong. If that’s the case, I’d love to see some links showing me how I can be further educated.

I think @KeeangaYamahtta wrote about this in her book about the CRC.
