Is the #wikipedia in dire need of more cash? Their pleas are alarming--- but how are they really doing?

I've always been reticent to donate since I wrote so many articles for them and created "project afro" to improve the depth of coverage on people of the African diaspora--

For all this work I got very little support or kindness, mostly outright hostility. It was like a war to even get some articles to EXIST.

But, I also think the wikipedia is one of the last "good" parts of the internet.

Today I said goodbye to Twitter (at least until things... doubtful... improve), and I think #TwitterMigration will increase, so another introduction!

I'm an information science professor who researches #techethics #aiethics #onlinecommunities #hci #cseducation and #fandom (also, at least once, all of those things at the same time!)

I also do a lot of science communication (and occasional silliness) on #TikTok (@professorcasey) and my #YouTube (CaseyFieslerPhD) is full of #gradschool advice!
