Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

what a shot

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Te amo Puerto Rico, te amo Latinoamérica. What an amazing performance! 💜

This Friday at 12PM EST They are members of Harlem’s Talented Tenth, a social club celebrating Black excellence. February is intake season: recruit the best talent to win a year of VIP access, free drinks, and top social status. Can our party outshine rival teams and convince artists to join you?

If possible, I would appreciate some funds for getting through the week. I got a job that I’ll start working outside of school, but I haven’t started yet. Anything helps 🖤 This will go towards EOM bills, Ichi expenses (more food, litter, etc.), and groceries. ko-fi.com/breeedo/goal...

Oop. Time to put a supply order in!

I'm a Black game designer crowdfunding for a new game this month. I need to hit 100 followers on the pre-launch page before it goes live next week www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and I want to use that follower count for some good today. If you are a Black creative, QRP with your links. Note: this one is for Black folks to share their work. Not self appointed allies and performative list making of Black folks to follow & support UwU!

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant. This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant. Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

Don't just remind your friends and family that you care about them. Remind your colleagues too.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Any time Shane Hollander gets startled and screams this is what i picture

Had to really dig in to my New England roots as I dug my car out this morning repeating "if the front end can get out the back end can get out just clear the bumper" on a NYC side street.

I feel like it's always a good sign when you come out of a session zero with inside jokes.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

WTF?!? It appears a new trend is starting. On Thursday, January 8, 2026, federal immigration agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shot a married couple in Portland, Oregon during a vehicle stop.

frankly a lot of stuff you can be doing right now you shouldn’t throw online

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

I've seen an increasing number of people online confusing inspiration with fanfiction. Game Changer is fanfiction, stucky specifically. Twilight is inspired by mcr, romeo and juliet, and several other things and is not fanfiction. Inspiration does not automatically mean fanfiction.

What do you want to do with your career Taz? This. Teaching through actual play is so fun and rewarding. I will get this PhD and make this happen.

Our hearts go out to the Venezuelan people, who will no doubt suffer the most from this deplorable act of imperialist interventionism. We support a free Venezuela: free from western imperialism, free from U.S.-backed political instability and corruption, free to determine its own fate.

If we lived in a just media landscape, this would now be a trilogy.

I say his gently, but… There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry. Not because its government doesn’t fix it — but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost. That’s the part that sits wrong.

So excited for my new book!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Will be in Noho for the first time in ages this afternoon. I need the gay recharge 🌈🌈🌈

Engage with art and media directly. Follow footnotes and citations like a trail of breadcrumbs. Look at digitised archival materials (maybe even go to an archive if you’re able). But I think a really important facet of research that is often left out is speaking to other people! Talk to experts!

trying to play Pathfinder with flu shot brain is interesting

Hair? Cut. Kouign-amann? Amazing. Flu shot? FINALLY STABBED

A heads-up to anyone traveling to the U.S. from abroad: Be prepared for increased scrutiny of your online presence. Travelers from countries like Britain, France, Germany, and South Korea could soon be subject to a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a

Look at this sweet baby I found in one of our collections at work! #Alaska #PribilofIslands

Oop! Didn't catch an offensive word in the caption of that seal photo. My apologies to anyone who might have seen that. I took it down without prompting because that's not a word i use or support.

On that note, if anyone is willing to share some cute pet pics I could use them right about now.

A reminder to archivists to not just powering thru if you find something upsetting in a collection. Our days can go from the joy of finding important photographs in under-described collections to finding traumatic materials within seconds. Take a break, get a snack. Your mental health matters.
