Hey #history and #maritime and #shipping expert people:
Here's a dataset about #whaling with some variables I don't understand (neither do the students using it for an intro #statistics project). If you have any insight into what these variables/terms mean, will you share that?
The data are here:
For #MusicWomenWednesday here's Shotgun Down the Avalanche by Shawn Colvin, plus a #request - If anyone has a recording she made of this song in the early 90s, distributed on "sampler" CDs & cassettes given out as promos, I would be most grateful if you point me to it. I first heard this song on such a CD ("Summer Sampler", maybe distributed by X96, the alternative station in Provo, UT). Compared to later versions I can find (not including this acoustic take, which is lovely) It was less produced, a little more raw, and more emotionally impactful. I've been looking for years; I never ripped that CD to computerized format, and now the CD is gone.
#request : the act of asking for anything desired
- French: requête
- Italian: petizione
- Portuguese: pedido
- Spanish: petición

Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging people to send in #FOIA requests to #DOGE to demand an enumeration of what the department knows about each requester. Since DOGE is an official government agency, they are obliged to respond to these requests per the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. US District Judge Casey Cooper has affirmed this as well in a recent ruling.
An explanation of the campaign, and a form letter ready for your customization is found here: https://jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy-act-requests/
Hello #mastadon !
I have a simple #request for #help -
I have been getting a ton of traction on #scoopz and I am doing some shameless #selfpromo again!
I want the whole world to know #trump can't actually read. So I made a #rant about it, and I would like #signalboost from the #fediverse so it gets higher in the algorithm.
I would highly #recommend the #app as it's essentially a more mature #tiktok and super raw.
Thank you!
Fair warning: I don't have anything you might call a "music career" or "music income" or, you know, "fans". I have an OK day job, so a small amount of money is on the table, but it's pretty small.
The lack of those things above also means I don't need mega-control over results. Creativity = awesome. It also means if you can use the results in any way to drive your own career etc., I'm very open to that--e.g., all I'd ask is that you cut me in if you make any money from this.

Hi all! I’m looking for interesting accounts that talk sometimes about #LiteraryCriticism, or maybe other #literature and #CriticalTheory-based accounts. I’ve tried searching for authors I like, but haven’t had a huge amount of luck beyond finding posts. I’m especially looking for #SciFi criticism, but am curious about a lot of other genres too. Some other things I like are #DFW, #MarkFisher, #PKD, #BeckyChambers, #Solarpunk, #Cyberpunk, #Existentialism, #ArabLit, #Metamodernism. TY!

RE: leftist podcasts
can i have a podcast about just stories of what the left is doing to organize?
not to be against something, but to be *for* things.
not just unions either... things like multiple episode series on how X commune works, how a local BLM protest got together and distributed supplies like water/snacks, a small series on starting a local group and the difficulties to expect, or an episode talking with voluntary train hobos.
i need some injection of hope and i really think this is the type of thing that's actually needed (or at least a niche that is really needed)
BTW, yes. this is an open invitation to link me some.
