The Librarians and the Censorship of the Black Child While Black librarians weren’t present in this movie, it’s important to know this fight isn’t as exclusive as it was portrayed.

So, what about the movie, The Librarians? It falls short in its lack of inclusion.

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ... TikTok video by HBCU Student Action Alliance

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Universities buying into this shit under the guise of "equity" makes me SO angry

Equity for my students would be access to the databases and journals we've dropped subscriptions for. It'd be having a paid human to caption videos and make PDFs screen-reader compatible. Not this shit.

“Because just like buckthorn (and, let’s be honest, some exes) if you don’t deal with it properly, it tends to come back.” 😂

There’s a Harriet Tubman quote on the marker that says:

If ya' wanna be free, keep a goin'
If ya' tired, keep a goin'
If ya' scared, keep a goin'
If ya hungry, keep a goin'
If ya' wanna taste freedom, keep a goin'

idk i think in a time when it feels like nothing matters & all is futile it might actually be time to double down and write your stories & make your paintings & sing your songs & do your art. create the things that make us human and share them.

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

We spoke to queer Nigerian gamers about the identities they hide online Voice chat can mean teamwork, coordination, and banter, but for many of the queer Nigerian gamers we spoke to, the mic is a risk assessment tool.

it's illegal to be queer in nigeria, but queer people still exist there (as they do everywhere). nigerian reporter ebenezer mowete spoke to queer local gamers about how they do and don't express their identities when they play --> www.mothership.blog/queer-nigeri...

Haitian-born Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was the first Black general in the French army. 🇭🇹

The #Superfine: Tailoring Black Style (Black Dandy) exhibit at the Met had portraits of the general (father) and his son (writer Dumas).

In addition to all this, Fobazi was funny. Really funny. She wasn’t just vocational awe. She would have hated that. RIP.

This has been happening to Black journalists for at least a decade.

This is how trickle-down economics actually works.

The privileged are protected until they just aren’t anymore.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Three Eastern Bluebirds are together having a meal on a terra cotta saucer. The background is mostly white from the snow.

I am really enjoying having the Eastern Bluebirds here for the winter. They seem to be very social and full of personality. It's a shame they are not here year-round.
