Dr. B's B-Sides 🍉🌺

like my only fucking reprieve feels like it's when I'm in the classroom and having good conversation with my students about the material.

or when I'm cuddling the dogs. fucking hell.

I'm truly in such a severe state of rage all the fucking time and who has the energy for this shit

this tracks for me lol

there are so many books on writing craft but I'd loveeeeee to see more about technical craft!

andreessen doesn’t know what education, let alone thinking means.

my students *will* know now how to operate a camera and edit a film because that’s how they learn to think and problem-solve in the physical world.

mediamaking isn’t supposed to be a perfunctory time-saving process. it’s a craft.

The constant framing of AI as an accessibility issue that breaks down barriers is completely at odds with the poor communities constantly fucked over in service of AI, the cost of it financially and environmentally and the cost of producing even the smallest most derivative crap.

This is good. Never cut a deal with a fucking fascist.

If you leave one magazine job and go write a book, apparently for a major publisher, and you deliver your manuscript and take another magazine job less than a year later, when did the exile part happen, exactly?

What Is Colonial Williamsburg For? Telling the full story of the town’s past is an easy way to make a lot of people mad.

Thirty-one years ago, there was a slave auction reenacted at Colonial Williamsburg.

Some thought it powerful, many thought it insulting.

This summer, I traveled to Williamsburg myself to see how the country’s largest living history museum today tells the story of Black life at America’s founding.

Like this “poem” was almost added to the Congressional Record nearly 30 years after it was first circulated because the First Lady hosted a Black woman at a tea party for Congressional wives. This poem was written and circulated in the first place because Booker T Washington visited the WH!

hell, Lizzie deserves better, too. these men ain't a bit of shit.

Aleah deserves better!!!

Democrats are going to need to get good at saying clearly that people in minority groups can invoke their identity to make a political point either in bad faith or in ways that are just plain wrong, and they are going to need to get good at saying this *even when they are not in that group*

I still don't understand how so many black people had this same exact comforter lmao

one thing perhaps worth emphasizing is that under federal law an escaped enslaved person was a criminal. an "illegal," you might say.

Screenshot of text from the interview: You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still? I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe. [I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
