@rootsandshade.bsky.social Was on Facebook and saw that it's your birthday today and wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday but saw that you're now on BlueSky so sending you birthday wishes on here!

When in the current year, I see next year as a new row and future years as separate rows again but somehow, once we move into the new year, it becomes part of that long post-1980 row. 2/2

Kinda hard to explain how I visualize calendar years but basically I see each past decade as a row of 10 years until 1980, when the years just keep going in a long row. 1/2

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Oh no! 😆

Happy Black History Month 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 and everywhere else where it is celebrated in February!

🖤❤️💛💚

Let's recognize the Black trailblazers who push our country closer to justice. The Black workers who power our economy. The Black culture that shapes our society. And all the ways that Black history informs and inspires us every day.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and Republicans want to censor our history and ignore the systemic oppression of Black folks.

But Black history is American history, and no amount of white-washing or erasure will change that.

Just a quick reminder that if you are teaching a course in American history properly, you are teaching the history of African Americans throughout the year. #BlackHistoryMonth #sschat #historyteacher

The internet forgets faster than we think, but thankfully, some people hit save. Archiving isn’t just preservation—it’s a quiet act of resistance against digital amnesia.

He’s shameless…what a POS

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

That’s a good comparison…now I can’t unsee that 😆

😢

This describes my situation re: quitting IG and going back to keep up on local events. A lot of businesses and organizations have resorted to re-posting on Stories as well as the grid. But of course, you have to check those daily or they disappear.

Now we’ll find out in a day or two how the app will be fully brought back…and it’s not going to be pretty. (2/2)

TikTok is not available in the app stores but is now accessible again to those who still have the app installed. So it’s technically still in compliance with the law. Last evening’s shut down was a metaphorical gun-to-the-head psych-out for its users. (1/2)

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

I remember that...unless I was also having a fever dream, lol

Today as I was leaving the grocery store, a middle-aged mother rushed in with a lit cigarette dangling from her mouth, scolding her preteen kid, who was trailing behind her. I didn't think those kinds of moms still existed. 😆

Oooh, that’s a good idea…tempted to do the same

I have the day off so I won’t have work to distract me like in the 2017 inauguration. Maybe I’ll just do work anyway. But in the evening, I’m going to a craft social event with like-minded people so I’m looking forward to that.
