It means the places that capitulated should be shunned even harder .

These people have into white washing because they wanted do.

They were already fighting scholars and people of color when things were good

And folded

For an administration that abandoned them

I think that people should read Bright's thread because there are a number of good points made. We're not all going to agree on each point but it's good & essential to have an ongoing discussion about these matters. These conversations usually happen within organizations.

Joanne Bland passed away today. She was just was 11 when she marched in Selma on March 7, 1965, known today as "Bloody Sunday." Joanne led my students on a number of tours of Selma. I usually just sat back and watched her go. She was a remarkable woman, who will be dearly missed. #BlackHistoryMonth

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

an image of 4 really cool 3d printed skull hands. one in bisexual purple/blue/pink, one in some pretty lesbian pinks and oranges, one in just a vivid rainbow and one in a pastel rainbow!

Next up, a wishlist with many amazing filaments, but I'm highlighting this particular because today is the first day I realized Ziro put a lot of the gayest gradients in one bundle?!?!?

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, NO ONE WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!

A group of amazingly generous folks are 3D printing whistles and sending them (for free) to people across the country whose areas are under attack by ICE. They've sent almost a million. Want to help? Buy them filament πŸ‘‡

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

They want to pay us less so they can accrue more profit to themselves. They want us to feel precarious so we are captive to capitalist hierarchies instead of building our own sustainability. And they want to give us non-human villains to fight so we don't notice that it's them.

But I will be that annoying person to remind folks that talking about the tech itself is a red herring. There is something happening here. But it is cultural. We're under assault by people who are actively working to devalue human jobs.

A squirrel on my windowsill, looking in at me with an upturned nose and an aggressive, demanding expression.

Because of my own bad decisions (fed a squirrel) I must now face dire consequences (being stalked by squirrel).

I can confirm this is true and I can also say that the lack of an eviction moratorium is fueling this trend.

Judith Wright warns of the ego of creating a tech god in her poem "Eve to her daughters".

"He had to unravel everything, because he believed that mechanism
was the whole secret... It was warmer than this in the cave;
there was none of this fall-out."
