a reminder 💖:

Or traumatic event 😭

I moved my money! A @uofcalifornia.bsky.social faculty initiative to divest our retirement savings from state violence, war, fossil fuels is up and running. It's simple: 1) open your retirement portfolio, 2) move your money into UC's Social Equity Fund! Learn more here: www.ucmoveyourmoney.org/home

This is awesome. University of California employees — Your retirement is invested with the private equity firm that owns ICE’s charter airline for Africa and Asia deportations. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I love to see parents complaining about the cost of school holidays/after school costs/daycare cause our economy and cost of living relies on two parents working and then people yelling at them for “choosing” to have kids and then those people complaining about birth rates. A circle of stupidery.

the unspeakable joy of frankensteining a formula in sheets (or excel if you hate yourself) and it works. this is what the sam altmans of the world want to rob you of.

This is glorious.

The thing about you Chad .. is you write like a fantastic stand up comedian… except it’s is really just a direct recap of the situation. The news is the punchline

The same people who told you we needed to build training centers all over the country to stop shoplifting and college protests are telling you sex trafficking kids to billionaires is drawing outsized attention

It's wild to me that Duolingo fell off so hard over their business decisions that the only time I hear about it anymore is when new app startups are describing themselves as the "Duolingo of xxxxxx"

Valentine's day is important to me in that its a day to celebrate our love and love in general, not just romantic. The capitalism and over the top displays of wealth on it are not what I support. I like it to just have a quiet dinner the week of, go home, smoke some good stuff and call it a day.

Stop calling GITMO a base it’s a fucking prison!! Now ask yourself why the fuck we have a prison in a foreign country that we put sanctions on thus crippling their economy? Obama was correct with lifting sanctions during his presidency.

Accidentally noticed a pattern!

I'm old enough to remember NFTs

No notes.

The thing is, a lot of us simply dream of being able to redistribute wealth.

I downloaded a podcast app and have chosen only to platform indigenous womxn. I suspect this is a good way for me not to pluck my eyeballs out from the gross messages being shared on these platforms.

Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

Moisturized, bahaki'd out, reading Dune book 5 in bed while the sounds and shouts of my parents and their usual crew having a great drunken time downstairs drift up to me, island jams in the background 🥰😆

Remembering this time last year when Emily Pike, a 14 year old Apache girl was found dismembered on the side if the road in trash bags in Arizona, and only Native peoole were talking about about it.

This is a short from one of the all-time bangers of feature animation, "Memories." "Cannon Fodder" features an entire militarized civilization centered around an endless war with an unseen enemy, wherein the children are indoctrinated with the single purpose of fighting that war from grade school.

Eating fruit and remembering that all fruit is good.

ai will never be able to replicate a friend telling you that something sucks ass and that you should keep it to yourself

HARD BOILED DETECTIVE: another cruel sunrise over the city of the damned. another corpse. another widow. another cup of black coffee to drag my sorry ass back to life- *sputtering* ME: do you like it? it's an ethiopian washed process single origin DETECTIVE: ME: are you getting apricot notes

Shout out to my friends getting married. Also shout out to my friends who don’t care for marriage. I love y’all the same. I’m just happy to see you in love. So in short, shout out love (again)

Get the frick outta here with ur gentrified $50 Island BBQ plates!! Two ribs and a crab salad is not a Island BBQ plate!! I'm sorry but that's a rip!!

i need people to understand that so. SOOOO. many white people cosplay as Asian online. online is hateful and disgusting and vile for us in no small part bc of the things white people say when they are pretending to be us.

It’s so soothing to paint even for somatic benefits #gouache #wip

Off-topic, but whoever did the "CHamoru" translation for the sign is an oddity. A simple "Adahi" would've been better with a sign of explosives going off.

'The Pacific is not empty. The Pacific is not paradise. The Pacific is not a wasteland. The Pacific is not already postcolonial. The Pacific is not dependent. The Pacific is not the tip of someone else’s spear. The Pacific is not someone else’s borderland.' -Sasha Davis

I’m sorry WHAT?!?

I'm sorry WHUT

“None of us can be self-loving if our presence is not recognized and valued.” -bell hooks She just understands my thought processes often. It’s one of my critiques of self-love culture.

Xena Warrior Princess I used to watch this show with my dad. i loved it 💕

IT'S UNNERVING. People who seem to only value proximity to you online are something else!

The girl from Tahiti — and names reaching across Palau, the Cook Islands, PNG, and Fiji. Even paradise is not absent from the Epstein files.

i’m seeing some discourse on blacksky and I can confidently say what any ex service person would: rich rich ppl are the worst tippers

From: Cannon Fodder (1995), dir. Katsuhiro Otomo, Studio 4°C This film was designed to flow without hard cuts -- the camera just goes and goes and goes

I believe I am being threatened with a good time.

The sexual tension betweent the near global superiority complex and the steadfast refusal to learn from any of our mistakes.

Nuclear colonialism has left deep scars on the Pacific- from stolen land and forced relocations to generations living with health, environmental, and cultural loss. These islands were treated as expendable test sites, and their people are still fighting for justice.

Making sure @ryan.blacksky.app sees this

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.
