I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

Don't tell me boycotts don't work

Let's go spooky season! 💙📚 "The Bewitching" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia #BookSky

No impostor syndrome, no fear of not being good enough. Go do that thing you want to do, secure in the knowledge that absolute morons are all around us

This is the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is being taken off the air. Brian Stelter: "Nexstar already owns lots of TV stations. It wants to merge with Tegna, which owns lots of other stations. In order to do that, it needs Brandon Carr, the FCC Chair's, permission."

Suddenly, I feel like I haven't bought enough books.

For years, I've tried to tell y'all what cops know, and what criminal justice reformers know, about how murders really get solved. Look at how massive the manhunt for both Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson were. Then look at how they were actually caught. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Two phone calls.

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.

"Not today"

On another note, my backyard chickens, aka the city girls, are doing great. This is Syrax.

Oh no.

Black people…… Take care. Know you’re being gaslit You heard what you heard. You saw what you saw. Your feelings are valid. The hypocrisy is maddening. Insulate yourself from it as best you can. ♥️

Black folks - Now would be a great time to make the jump over to Blacksky.

I cannot with the news this morning

They said, "ok, what color have we not done yet"

My brain is vibe coding solutions to work projects in my sleep. I think this means I need a break.

starting to think the MAHA movement only makes sense relationally... beyond a thin veneer of healthiness-as-beauty (thanks @tressiemcphd.bsky.social), their vision of health is only relative advantage over less-healthy poor people. See below where I apply this to schools. bsky.app/profile/loui...

"Within three months, at least 300,000 Black women left the job market, many as a direct result of Trump's policies."

It’s been said before, but it would be willfully blind not to consider the likelihood that these military deployments to cities are a test run for an actual coup

I’m still shocked that Republicans published a plan for how they were going to dismantle or compromise every major government agency, people called it crazy, and now they’re halfway done within the first year of Trump’s administration. It was all in Project 2025.

We are already embarrassed tho

If this is actually happening, thank goodness it's already a three day weekend

Woke up, and the skyline is full of folks embracing their shadows. If you're new to hexing, some advice: use protection, set clear intentions, sprinkle it with the hottest hot sauce you got, and sweep up when you're done.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

All Folks Had To Do Was Vote For The Super Qualified Black Lady… With A Degree In Economics

Folks, if you love audiobooks, if you want creators to be able to keep MAKING audiobooks, you're going to have to start... paying for audiobooks. Not subscriptions. Audiobooks themselves. Because Amazon are absolutely intent on paying creators even less. They aren't cheap to make.

I can't get over the price of cars these days

Nothing. When I'm done, I'm done.

Watching the Biggest Loser doc on Netflix and Jillian has always been trash, but now I have equal heat for Bob as well

My reading routine has been so off lately

To my fellow Black ladies in tech: you're doing fine. Probably better than fine. Keep at it.

I love birds

It starts even younger... society is increasingly more hostile to young children existing in public, even with their parents. It's not surprising if they have difficulties socializing in public later in life

Thanks to the ongoing lawsuit between OpenAI and the New York Times, your chats are not being deleted from ChatGPT’s servers. Additionally, ChatGPT isn’t a doctor or a lawyer so don’t do anything stupid like confessing crimes to it.

AI overviews are destroying search, destroying websites, and are easy to game. Really bleak stuff here: www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

So considerate!

Yea, that ship has looong been sailed.

The size difference 🤯🌊

I'm so happy I wasn't imagining this on the fourth this year

oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

what, specifically is the goal here? what does this actually accomplish?

As a whole, we are not a serious people. It's all vibes.

The quality of a man can be determined by how many smart women are around him

Cool, what will he do about it now, though. I'm not buying that he regrets anything yet.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Here we go...
