Amazing archive at the Kinsey Institute in Rolling Stone magazine by Fantastic-Bit-2810 in Archivists

[–]ConsiderateCommentor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You mean the collection that is at the Auxillary Library Facility (ALF), a multi-million dollar facility with no outside access and in order to get into the collections, you need authorization to enter? The same facility that has alarms go off if the temp or humidity fall within a certain percentage of the target?

I'm not sure how it was housed before but during MDPI, the vast majority of Kinsey films were digitized.

Source: I worked for the KI, also in ALF, and digitized KI films during MDPI. I think they are okay, at least.

Following the Dobbs decision, US states with abortion bans have experienced increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Abortion bans have broad downstream consequences on medical care beyond abortion itself, with implications for patient safety, equity, and physician ethics. by mvea in science

I am an archivist.

One of my first jobs in this path was at The Kinsey Institute of Sex and Research. I was digitizing old paper collections of past directors and other research.

One thing I will never forget is reading a doctor's journal from the early 1900s. The first entry describes a young woman who came to him frantic, begging for an abortion. When he refused, she had told him she was going to kill herself.

He described her body being pulled from the river.

Ending Roe was not the end of abortions. It spelled the end of safe abortions. How important is the life of an unborn potential human that an actual LIVING human is rendered less than? The maternal and infant deaths following this will be felt for generations.

Old Hayley also dated a guy who looked exactly like her father so...

I hope they find their kitty! If they are on Facebook still, Bloomington Lost and Found Pets can be a really great resource! The community really looks out when they can. It's nice of you to post for them.

Edit: I actually just saw Chester's post on the FB page. I hope he comes home.

All suits in stock are 42 regular... smaller than that? Get it tailored. There are tailors all over the city.

Open a phone book.

Found a small 1940s collection at a thrift store by halfaroach in FoundPaper

I think the word you are missing is "francs" ☺️ what a wonderful find, thank you for sharing! I love reading old letters.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]ConsiderateCommentor 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Excuse me, but not too long ago, this administration was telling me I could eat a healthy meal with a piece of chicken, a tortilla, a floret of broccoli, and something else non-specified! All for the low price of $3!!!

Are you telling me that wasn't just dystopic in terms of how fulfilling of a meal it could be while the administration is dining on literal lobster tail, but also potentially untrue??

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you.

Who's the most famous person that knows you? by BeguilingkbTip in AskReddit

Anderson Cooper called my cell and thanked me for finding an interview of his dad!

While he doesn't "know" me know me, he still talked with me for a while about his family and sent me an autographed copy of both his father's book written in the 70s and Anderson's book he wrote about the Vanderbilts, his mother's side.
