“…a recycled agenda designed to reassert the social & economic privileges of white Americans relative to their Black & brown neighbors, pacifying potential white opposition toward policies that will most enrich the few at their absolute expense.” @kdoc-writes.bsky.social

Something I’m wrestling with: The trend of cities reclaiming spaces under highways and overpasses as urban parks and trails. Smart? Opportunistic? Environmentally sketchy? A realistic response to how hard it is to build new green space? Curious if there are good articles or studies on this.
There's a reason that every holiday season, they bring out mythological, Black, SNAP recipients out there buying crab legs.
Look over THERE!
AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense.:
"It’s not that AI doesn’t create efficiency. It’s that the capacity it frees up immediately gets repurposed into doing other work, and that’s where the creep is likely to happen."

“Uncritical acceptance of amateur history that ignores the realities of oppression and the breadth of the country’s diversity does not make the courts and their application of law impartial. It makes them impoverished.”
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

Watch Live Tonight - Chris Rufo Lecture, "Laying Siege to the Institutions" HILISDALE COLLEGE PULLIAM DISTINGUISHED VISITING FELLOWS LECTURE SERIES "Laying Siege to the Institutions" CHRISTOPHER F. RUFO TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 2022 | 8:00 P.M. WATCH THE LIVESTREAM
The goal here is not to correct some supposed abuses on campus or protect the civil rights of certain categories of students...the goal here, as people like Rufo have been saying for a while now, is to "lay siege" to higher ed as an institution and remake it in the right's authoritarian image.

Can we reimagine & build safe, impervious virtual & irl spaces of protection & respect of/for Black women? We are not damsels in distress seeking saviors but who will advocate on these front lines to exterminate misogynoir’s abuse & dehumanization? Who but each of us will invest in this care?

“…a concern regarding the indexical erasure of AAVE as a variety of English spoken by Black Americans…Concluding, we argue that, in the participatory context of social media…poses an issue for the raciolinguistic enregisterment as a ‘Black variety’ of English.”
Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
One, they wanted the content.
Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people.
Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?
Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.
The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.
It’s worth your focused time & the book is riveting

This technology doesn't spring out of a hole in the ground. It's built on unsustainable resource extraction and the burning of fossil fuels, and used for monocropping. Farmland needs to be protected, and farm workers need dignity and collective ownership. Corporate tech is not going to get us that
