Hatred shared - I hated myself for being so bullied. Like gum in hair where I had to get a buzz cut, people peed on my gym clothes, etc. Got upset my name es espaΓ±ol because I am latine. But I some how still held on to these people and … this is what #ignorance #power looks like

What y’all’s take on the use of #AI and it’s use on the environment? Genuinely curious.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I am tired of organizers talking about AI and its use in tech. I am tired we gave up on making people
Safe. I tired of not doing the good work because I alone cannot. Also, I am tired.

If I see the salt truck video one more time I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

They're not being used to block the city off from ICE. They're walling off the Taste of Chicago. The city uses salt trucks as temporary infrastructure.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Proud of MI ESPOSO and fighting for #CHICAGO also I voted for @thepsf.bsky.social and proud of that too. And did a talk with local youth about the dangers of AI on the environment … and boxed. And ran 10k. All in a day of me.

It's a good time to review your rights & carry passports, etc. if you have them:

One of the inciting incidents in After the War by @genesisoflegend.bsky.social, myself, @claudiacanginiart.bsky.social and a legion of other amazing creators is the discovery of an archive of society changing information on a very, very old interstellar comet.

I love stuff like this:)
