Lina Who Lina How Lina… (侯詠絮)

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off.

Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering.

Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Welcome back!

Texas School for the Deaf attempts to cleanse population, parents allege “[My son] may not eat, walk or socialize exactly like you. But he is still deaf — nothing will change that fact. Your apathy has denied my son his Dea...

Deaf Disabled kids getting excluded from deaf schools is not new, but it's something #deafed leaders need desperately to address. First, for the well-being of all deaf children, but second, for the well-being of deaf education. You can't play in the #eugenics sewer and come out clean.

Sweet Lo’s Homemade Ice Cream 🍦 (@sweetlosicecream) on Threads Some Bozo hated my Butter Pecan origin story so much, he bought my French Vanilla Bean recipe and sent me a note via the website saying “White Power.” With the email he provided from his purchase, I f...

My friend from HS makes ice cream/recipes for a living and posted for Black History Month about how pecans were first domesticated by an enslaved man and the technique for mass pollination of vanilla was developed by an enslaved man and someone was this mad about it!!!

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”.

He couldn’t hear their orders.

They denied him an interpreter.

Denied him accommodations.

This is who they are.

They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.

Deaf LA teenager says immigration officers assaulted him for not heeding commands ‘He’s deaf! He cannot hear!’ people can be heard shouting on a video of Anthony Paredes being chased and apprehended.

And people wonder why I stay home www.ocregister.com/2026/02/01/d...

My UG class on signing communities & signs is the most popular in the dept but it’s so hard to get students to read. In retrospect I should’ve made a course reader for them — holding an actual paper in your hands supports actual reading. Definitely am going to do this next time.

The Post killing its Books section (one of the best around) is so fucking bleak

the end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

This is a post about animal excrement and the English language.

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

I find it depressing that so many people seem determined to outsource their basic brain functions. Like WHY ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE IF THAT'S HOW LITTLE YOU THINK ABOUT EXISTENCE

that was my initial reading as well

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

The feds have now arrested two journalists — who both happen to be Black and not backed by media organizations because they are both independent journos — over their coverage of Minneapolis. Don Lemon is the famous one of the two, but there’s also Georgia Fort, an independent reporter in Minneapolis

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

this is part of the plan. it's well-established that detention is terrible for everyone, extremely terrible for children.

Plan your exit strategies if you haven't already.

There is something very, very odd about a society that is simultaneously more thoroughly and constantly saturated in media than any human group has been during the entire history of our species... but also finds it puzzling why studying art & literature might be worthwhile.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

The University of Kentucky has banned funding (including conference or journal fees) to ~1200 orgs it has accused of racism because of “DEI policies”, including things like the American Bar Association & the American Heart Association. This is how you dismantle science pres.uky.edu/sites/defaul...

The way the American government just lies to its citizens is insane. You could be at home sleeping and 5 masked thugs break into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep, and high ranking officials will go on TV and declare you're a terrorist and they acted in self defense

Something you almost certainly won’t see in the national news is how many tiny protests are all over the Twin Cities today.

They’re at stoplights. Parks. Bridges. Just everywhere. And people walking by are joining in. The solidarity is so deep.

It’s beautiful and brave. I love this city.

These are the actions of a death squad.

two images of an arrest, one digitally altered by the White House to make it look like the arrestee is crying

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.
