The absolute refusal to connect American history to American current events is one of the weirdest expressions of modern racism.

Good morning me and @nanicoolj.blacksky.app started a Victorian letter exchange but for Black millennials And funnily enough we were talking about AI and Vaudeville Now live from my Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/151208...

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE!!!

The hatred for Black people in this country will prevent any real accountability process for politicians from ever taking place. These are the consequences of nonblack people's actions and politic.

Oh so this is what happens when folks take uprisings seriously, don’t blame the victims, and actual parliamentarians step up rather than shift it to “how” the populace rises up .

Congrats to #StarTrekDiscovery's Michelle Yeoh for her new star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame (photo: @Variety video stream www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxuB...)

lupita is so cold

新年快乐！happy new year!

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Anyone happen to know anyone with one spare skein (or even a partial one) of Neighborhood Fiber Co Studio Worsted in Sheridan Circle?

I bet Pepé Le Pew is married. He has married man energy

Me whenever I have to communicate with other human beings #anxiety

Realizing that Ramadan is about to start in a couple of days for much of our Muslim fam. So I'm using it as an excuse to re-watch one of my favorite romcoms of all time, also available on Kanopy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0CK...

I adore the abrupt tonal shift in this from idealistic desires to the difficult path to get there...

Roses are red, These times are quite trying

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Between valentine's day and Black History Month and Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras the streets are very joyful.

a good thread about a good doggo

BEWARE PHISHING: Multiple of my (academic) friends have suffered email hacks where they get an invitation to a party and are asked to login to one of their social media/email accounts in order to access it. This thing is like an illness that seems to be spreading a lot. Be on alert.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

Hello, my health took a big dip this winter but I am back and (fingers crossed) feeling better! Here's an introduction to the medieval fantasy project I've been working on while I was under the weather: www.patreon.com/posts/hotblo...

JUST IMAGINE. Imagine purchasing a gorgeous, matte Black (not joking btw) vehicle in good faith. Imagine following every requirement asked of you- including purchasing the extended warranty recommended by the dealership, described confidently as "bumper to bumper" coverage cash.app/$ClarkishaKent

PSSST! Wanna turn of Apple Intelligence writing tools systemwide? You WON'T find the controls in the Apple Intelligence system panel:

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Getting some practice drawing backs and hands again before I can return to Gaysians and Ruby projects.

Everyone needs to read One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. Just throwing that out for no reason at all

I think often how they get rewards for doing the same thing Black folks get disqualified for.

So like, when do we start investigating everyone on the list? Subpoenaing their emails and financial records and stuff? What are they doing giving them time to destroy what they can? They put way more energy into tracking down Luigi Mangione.

It's under the brand name 'Yeztugo,' and it has a 100% success rate in women and a 96% success rate in men even after a year - which means that it's far more forgiving of a weird schedule, and still highly effective if you delay your booster.

all the black geniuses in the arts who DIED POOR OR STRUGGLING, who created this nation's entire artistic identity that more than half the planet imitates or borrows from, all the young ones now who may never get a chance, and you whining about us saying don't use a shortcut that HARMS US ALL.

Only white people need studies to prove what they intended to do is what they actually did.

There are under 30 copies of the Bird Oracle hardcover left between the Deernicorn store and my own, and we won't be reprinting a hardcover. But the .pdf is currently pay-what-you-want on itch for a limited time! Nominated for a Best Writing Ennie! sawdustbear.itch.io/the-bird-ora...

Fascinating research on how often and for what reasons female economists are interrupted while presenting their work. Obviously this has applications outside economics. Nice to see actual hard data backing this up, instead of being gaslit about how it's all in our minds.

“Measles at Disneyland” is simultaneously a news story, a metaphor for current events, and a good idea for an 80s Orange County hardcore band.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

This is how direct the lineage is, Muddy Waters learned guitar in Mississippi Juke Joints watching Son House & Robert Johnson. 20 plus years later he finds Buddy Guy, fresh off the train from LA & starving in Chicago. Buys him food, & gets him a gig. Legend isn’t even enough.

So @quincemountain.bsky.social and team are out on the trail again! The race allows you to have a pool of 10 dogs to choose from each leg. Today, Waller and Blizzard subbed in for Elmo and Dora!

I need everyone to realize we are fully in a civil war, currently.

Donations are paused but I know @indalauryn.bsky.social could also use extra funds and support

Hel hasn't posted a new request that I could find but basically has to rent an U-Haul by end of day Saturday AND is disabled, needing help to get folks to move stuff & shovel snow: bsky.app/profile/purp...

Since this is Doing The Numbers I'm going to link a few folks in need if you got even $10 you can send. Chemoni is disabled and could really use some help. bsky.app/profile/ampa...

Sydette is one of the smartest folks I know and could use help with medical stuff & rent in this hellscape. bsky.app/profile/blac...
