📢 Archive advice needed!! Does the NYU Special Collections currently offer a research fellowship? I know they have in the past, but it’s unclear to me if they still do/plan to for the upcoming year.

It's surprising and worrying that the University of Nebraska is shutting down its department of statistics Usually we think of this happening to marginal departments, but one would think that a good state university should have statistics? 1/

if you enjoyed black rice, you should also read hurricane jim crow, the carolina rice kitchen, in the shadow of slavery: africas botanical legacy in america, and rice and slaves ethnicity and the slave trade. i have a few more i recommend as well.
Black Rice is a must read, 10/10. This book gave me a new reverence for west African rice cultivation & foodways.

Eight prisons in VA currently have no AC. That means there's nothing but the oppressive heat. "We go to sleep in sweat and wake up in sweat twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, with no respite until the summertime heat departs for the fall season."
"When we’re locked down for institutional count, we’re in an oven. It’s too hot. And there’s no relief." Incarcerated author Tutankhamon Waterman on extreme, dangerous heat in Virginia's prisons. A copub with @truthout
