I'm excited to share that today, the Public Archives Resiliency Act was introduced in the US Senate! The legislation supports increased appropriations to IMLS and NHPRC to fund climate resiliency efforts of archives and archivists, including increased staffing and no cost share requirements. It was inspired by @TeamMidwest 's A Green New Deal for Archives. Markey's staff worked with Eira, me, and many other stakeholders to draft the legislation.🤝 https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/sens-markey-hirono-and-rep-adams-introduce-legislation-to-promote-conservation-and-preservation-of-government-and-historic-records #archives #ClimateChange

I can't effectively use teams. When I try to use the browser, the pop ups to give permission to video & mic don't always come up despite setting the URL as an exception. When I try to download the latest update so I can be allowed to use the app, I'm sent to download Teams. The .exe file takes me to a login screen that, after logging in, tells me I need to download the update and takes me to the update page again. HAS ANYONE FIGURED THIS OUT PLEASE HELPPPP (sorry I don't have IT support lolol)

Better Late Than Never: Adding Checksums to 16 Million Legacy Files https://digitalpreservation-blog.nb.no/blog/2024-11-04-checksums/
I may have missed a conversation about this blog a couple weeks ago. But it's quite the claim! They say that 20 year old files subjected to 5 platform migrations were unchanged without fixity checking in place from 2007 - 2014. Is it really as rosy an outlook as they illustrate for fixity? Given what I have experienced in all the migrations I've been a part of, it seems impossible.

This @pluralistic post about keeping a suspense file - a term and concept new to me - expresses one of the most important things I've learned in my career and organizing. People need to be reminded of what they said they would do with you, and if you don't help them remember, inefficiency and uncomfortable feelings/situations will arise. It's an art to keep up with others' commitments and kindly hold them accountable, and Cory has shared a great way to do it. https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/26/one-weird-trick/#todo (1/2)

VOTE YES on Question 5 to ensure that tipped workers receive the full minimum wage, with tips on top. The tipped wage in MA is $6.75 per hour, with an expectation that employers ensure that all workers get a full minimum wage after tips. But #WageTheft is common. The power imbalance of a heavy reliance on tipping leads to high rates of sexual harassment. In states with a #OneFairWage model, workers have greater take-home pay, strong tipping rates continue, & the restaurant industry thrives. 4/4

VOTE YES on Question 2 to replace the use of the standardized MCAS test as a high school graduation requirement with a requirement based on successful mastery of coursework. The test will continue to happen and state curriculum standards followed, but it will no longer be a high stakes potential barrier to student success. 2/4
