I have had the privilege of being a long-term observer of 2 people w/ADHD. For one (adult diagnosis) bad memory was right at the top of the list of the life themes it re-wove. From our data point, I find that knowing "why it was" is not better than figuring out how to live well together, now.

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

I do! I do want to be friends!

Great! I have reposted.

That era is ending, and the era of public research has been gone for decades. Companies keep their secret sauce well locked up, now. When critical infrastructure fractures, we may lose the ability to do the joint research and operations required for whole domains of human technological advancement

Boycott? Not likely | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I believe @silviamg.bsky.social is on a social media hiatus as of now, but she left us with this post about book sales being down across the board and her theories why and how it will affect marginalized authors most: silviamoreno-garcia.com/boycott-not-...

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

But choosing people to hate together isn't solidarity.

This is the way.
