Saturday morning ☕️

Whatever you choose, educate yourself, amplify black voices, be curious, and celebrate with joy Black accomplishments. Joy as a critical part of resistance, a refusal to be devalued. 🖤

Black History Month 2025; full of opportunity. Now’s the time to listen to NYT’s 1619 podcast. Or watch the documentary ‘13th’ by Ava DuVernay. Or ‘I Am Not Your Negro,’ Raoul Peck’s tribute to James Baldwin. Or read ‘We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance’ by Kellie Carter Jackson.

Tell me you’re jealous of Pete without saying you’re jealous of Pete.
Dump is a complete embarrassment.

Trump says diversity played a role in the midair collision Wednesday night ‘because he has common sense.’
It’s a shame to see this administration trying to turn ‘common sense’ into a buzzword for discrimination. I mean, he can’t even make sense.

This guy is the antithesis of a leader.

This applies to all of us opposed to fascists!

"even the bitches" should basically be our motto for awhile

Fate: just added this quote to my profile this morning 🖤

Really missing NYC right now @grumpy-max.bsky.social

Really like the example of a camera: Wish I had thought of that at the time! I did mention (to counter his argument that AI is faster and therefore better) there will always be counter movements (think Slow Food Movement). Also, so much CAPITALISM underlying all this…..

Just had a long conversation (ok, argument) with a coder who claimed that students didn’t need to be taught creative writing any long bc we ‘had AI now.’ AI was a tool, just like a calculator, so why couldn’t they use it? And I was just a Luddite for opposing this.
