unforgivable.
There is no ine more adept at navigating the "real world" than people in poverty.
I think it’s sweet that A’ja Wilson lets her boyfriend work outside the home
Rich people navigating the world.
This man made $125,000 a year and said that he had zero interest in politics or government before working for doge.
I turn into a sputtering mess when I think that these spotty little white men casually being given free reign to slash people's life work
These depositions are my new favorite show. I cannot stop watching them.
He should be forced to flee society forever in shame.
No one should be ok to be seen in public with him.
This should be linked in the first line of his obituary.
Cream colored paper flyer pasted to a dark green electrical pole with an red arrow pointing upwards towards a Flock security camera all caps stencil text that reads THIS MACHINE CAN BE HACKED BY ANYONE AND USED TO WATCH YOU RIGHT NOW

I had high school kids draw cards to choose an order for an activity and the face cards completely befuddled them.
WHAT'S THIS J mean??
WHY DOES Q GO BEFORE 7???
I think I need to teach some hearts or gin rummy to these clueless kids. History can wait. Smh.
On this international Women's Day, I'd like to find something intelligent to say about how being against genocidal imperialism and wanting bloodshed is feminized and we are in the grips of the most murderous form of misogynist violence and patriarchal hierarchy, but I can't find the words.
Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
It would be only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward this story will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings, then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. If, however, he regards the Negro as a distinctly inferior creation, who can never successfully take part in modern civilization and whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts that I have set down. But this latter person, I am not trying to convince. I am simply pointing out these two points of view, so obvious to Americans, and then without further ado, I am assuming the truth of the first. In fine, I am going to tell this story as though Negroes were ordinary human beings, realizing that this attitude will from the first seriously curtail my audience. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS Atlanta, December, 1934
I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Oh we are all smelling it!! It is intoxicating!
I so very hope she has round the clock protection.
Right now!! It's amazing and magical!!!
so in other words, a typical Oakland kid 😎

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”
Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.
“Everything we can save is worth saving. Everything we can do is worth doing. We’ve already lost a lot, but we don’t have to lose everything. We don’t have to surrender.” 💯

*Alysa Liu voice* that's what I'm fucking talking about
Iranian-American anthropologist Narges Bajoghli on why the West has been inundated with far-right voices within the Iranian diaspora: “There’s been eight years of constant funding for these voices.”
In my U.S. Civil Rights Movements class, we spend a lot of time thinking about historical memory. When movements get reduced to a few iconic leaders, the collective labor that made change possible disappears from view. It also obscures an important lesson: collective action is effective & difficult.
They just don't value life that is not their own, this regime.
