did you know that in 2017 there was a study done that suggests that reading books actually helps you live longer?

The results showed a 20% reduction in risk of death over the 12 years following the study when compared to non-readers.

In case you're looking for more excuses to ditch responsibilities and read: it's good for your health!

Study finds that on Etsy, female consumers have a preference for products made by women, while male consumers showed no preference. Female consumers more strongly believed that their purchase decisions could contribute to gender equality in business. https://myscp.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jcpy.1327

EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

We have over 6,000 archivists working in the United States and it is enormously frustrating to see the same 1-2 archivists cited in articles about digital archives. I am begging journalists to source some quotes from archivists who are not white men deeply embedded in Silicon Valley culture.

Hello Mastodon!

There's been lots of tech layoffs recently. Can we get a thread going of folks looking for work and companies hiring?
