  1. Racket MN: MN Ice Abduction Memorials, Mapped . “If you spent any time in a city or town impacted by Operation Metro Surge this past winter, then you probably came across a few ICE abduction alerts…. These memorials weren’t created to last, but a group of public historians at the University of Minnesota have sought to document and preserve the tributes via a user-generated online archive.”

  2. Ah, the joys of crowdsourcing: when unpaid #volunteers spend countless hours turning someone's hoarder tendencies into a "treasure trove" of #bootlegs. 🎶🤦‍♂️ Because nothing says 'cultural preservation' like grainy recordings of Björk's audience coughing fits. 😂🙌

  18. New York Groove: Take inspiration from ‘70s New Yorkers and get really into trees this spring. “In 1976, a group of volunteers and block associations got together, taught themselves how to prune branches and fertilize tree beds, and told the city they would take over maintaining their local street trees….

  29. New-to-me and spotted in Calishat Snaps: FUNES. From a December 2025 blog post: “This is a project that concerns everyone, a collection of models from all over the world, we call it Funes, and its mission is very simple: to model the world. Imagine a 3D database of all the human buildings in the world, constantly updated. The human creations on the surface of the earth, they need a place to be […]

  31. Ich hätte gerne eine #Liste öffentlicher #Bibliothek⁠en, die auch online für alle zugänglich sind und das unabhängig davon, ob sie am #Standort wohnen. Bei denen ich mich pseudonym oder mit dem #nPA registrieren kann und darf, um die #Onleihe oder andere rein digitale #Angebote zu nutzen. Hättet ihr auch #Bedarf? Dann lasst uns mal ein #Crowdsourcing starten. Und wenn nicht, dann vielleicht dann, wenn ihr meine #Motivation dahinter kennenlernt: Ich will mit meinem #Geld gute Sachen unterstützen und nebenbei an #Medien kommen, die entweder aus mutmaßlich rechtlichen Gründen nur in begrenzter #Stückzahl angeboten werden oder gar nicht (mehr) Teil vom #Sortiment sind oder noch nie waren, zum Beispiel weil sie lokale Bezüge haben die andere Regionen gar nicht interessieren. Damit steigt aus der einen Sicht das #Angebot und der anderen die #Nachfrage - was durchaus positiv wäre. Mitunter aber auch vielleicht nachteilige Effekte hat, etwa wenn es zu mehr Vormerkungen kommen kann.
  32. The Conversation: The remarkable rise of eBird – the world’s biggest citizen science project. “It’s a spectacular presentation. And it isn’t simply an artist’s impression of the bird’s movements. Although the colours are an artefact, what is displayed are actual locations where the birds were seen: 86,149 times ordinary birdwatchers made the observation and sent it to eBird.”
