How a New Generation Is Combatting Digital Surveillance We’ve generally come to accept that our devices are listening to our conversations, our personal data is being tracked and sold, and that law enforcement tracks and stores images of our own faces...

Kenia Hale, a predoctoral fellow, and Payton Croskey, a senior, are members of Princeton’s Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab (created by Dr. Ruha Benjamin), where they research ways people of color can resist digital surveillance.

They led a project called “Liberatory Technology and Digital Marronage.”

Now this is something worth… coveting!

Two skeins of hand-dyed yarn bursting with a rich blend of colors including purple, red, pink, green, yellow, blue, and black. The tones are deep and saturated, creating a visually striking, multicolored palette that swirls together in vibrant harmony. The skein is neatly twisted and displayed on a white surface with a light gray textured background.

Gluttony is a feast for the eyes. This colorway blends elements from the six other sins: the royal purples of Pride, the icy blues of Sloth, the fiery reds of Wrath, the golden shimmer of Greed, the poisonous greens of Envy, and the seductive pinks of Lust.

We’re getting into the countdown spirit early with preorders for the 2025 LBYC Countdown Calendar, and this year’s theme is straight from the Pixar multiverse!

Is it permitted for us to know if the colors will harmonize for use together in a large project?

Entire Staff Is Fired at LIHEAP The move threatens to paralyze the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps to offset high utility bills for roughly 6.2 million people nationwide.

$400M still in the budget, no one to spend it.

The cruelty is the point.

Anyway, happy Trans Day of Visibility. We have always been here.

Help support trans people like me in Ohio by buying the ttrpgs for trans right in Ohio.

I can’t slap DeWine but this bundle meeting goal will fill a small bit of hope in me I’ve been losing.

Our trans and nonbinary siblings have always been here and will continue to remain here.

New FDA commissioner agreed to oust top vaccine regulator after private swearing-in The forced resignation of Peter Marks has unsettled scientists and researchers.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary agreed to oust the agency's top vaccine official shortly after being quietly sworn in late last week.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

That Louisiana win is a BFD (and a message to Wisconsin and Florida voters: yes we can!) Activists, powered by Black early voters, defeated maga governor Jeff Landry, including in his own parish...

What happened in Louisiana deserves more attention. 4 MAGA-supported constitutional amendments. All failed.

Great organizing work by folks like Gary Chambers.
