This is immediately bullshit because I never “opted in” for anything yet Firefox has started shoveling AI summaries down my throat.

I’m having a pain and fatigue flare up, wheeeeee! Less than 2 weeks to surgery.

"Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries—who took three separate AIEF trips since 2019—reiterated his “ironclad” support for the beleaguered Netanyahu government in 2023, just after a $20,000 trip accompanied by his spouse." He took a group of Dems with him on atleast one trip.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

I don't want it, Sam Alt Man

yo this is my JOINT from undergrad! when this song dropped, everyone would go wild!

some days, i tiddle with being an academic book influencer the only problem? i don't read things when they first drop i'm decidedly unaware of book trends or what's popular. I just read whatever I want, when i want . when i do read popular things, its usually after the hype has died down

my department coordinator did a dangerous thing telling me i had at least $800 in funds to buy research materials a dangerous thing, y'all.........

💯 public libraries can play a role in popular resistance to the reduction of culture to bitstreams, but it’s important to remember that public libraries have a mandate to develop their collections, and that means regular weeding. this is why resource sharing (i.e. ILL) is essential. 📚

I don’t have to embrace anything that means me and us harm.

Recalling Fanon's observation that perhaps we aren't mad, society is. For no particular reason. 🙃

Oh no. If the AI bubble bursts, what will we do for all our favourite… er… all our… you know… the stuff we love and er… no. Carry on. As you were.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning. The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

I get my hope from regular people coming together to take care of each other and resist oppressive systems, not from politicians.

I wonder how many employers might actually refuse to hire the post-ChatGPT generation or they might end up fired because they cant do the things their degrees say they can do Id be very angry with universities for hyping gAI the way they have, if I was a student or parent, tbh.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

I have already done one haul from this sale (for research) a second one for leisure reading is incoming......

“clearing” the “homeless” populations from public view has been something many politicians in the Democratic Party have attempted to do with fervor. on this issue, many are performing disgust with the tactics of the authoritarian regime in D.C., but honestly it’s jealousy.

“Fund the police” they said.

I think people have underestimated the anti-intellectualism of the technofascists as one of the key drivers of the spread of authoritarianism. The clear benefits of the post-1960s expansion of higher ed is being destroyed by the most parsimonious thinkers.

Bad news: you’re not immune to propaganda, bias, or perpetuating harmful -isms. Good news: Once you accept this, you can reject harm & join liberation movements! It’s not too late to put on an n95. To oppose genocide. To divest from fascist corps. To demand climate action. To protect trans people.

This is beautiful

How I wish ordinary Americans who are eager to protest Trump would learn to avoid dangerous liberal psy ops like 50501, "No Kings," etc. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anything with: "We are proud Americans! Flag! Statue of Liberty!" "The cops are on our side!" "We're PEACEFUL!" are massive red flags! Wake up!

Free Chris, a true fighter!

50501 should not be trusted and the same goes for any organization partnering with them

Gorgeous life, verse, and poetry: “we read their books, as I said earlier, took in their alphabets like popsicles and lesion paste it is a good thing that they don’t know who we are”

The liberal international order is collapsing. This piece argues that post–October 7 geopolitics reveals a shift from imperial hypocrisy to imperial candor: multilateralism is dead and force is the new lingua franca. By @shaabiranks.bsky.social in @nplusonemag.com buff.ly/vvsoyNy

For the @parapraxismag.bsky.social resistance issue I wrote about the lines of flight forged by some of the most important revolutionaries of our time. Among other things, this piece is my perspective on Black-Palestinian solidarity www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/fug...

Seconded. Back when people actually punched Nazis, Milo Yiannopolis (I'm misspelling his name?) was deplatformed, that made him lose a ton of power and influence. Fascists aren't to be "debated" with. They're to be punched or guillotined. "Reason" does fuck all. Pointing out hypocrisy is pointless

The scientific evidence that Covid causes horrifying brain damage in most infections, and multiply infected people (most of the population) have Covid brain damage, is immense. Let's talk about that. But without ableism. "IQ" is eugenics, and Covid doesn't cause autism or ADHD. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thread time 🧵

‘Precisely designed mass starvation’ is a terrible series of words, my god, and no country on earth should escape eternal judgment and condemnation for this. None.

Weird, because I just coded a 60 year old last week who had it and she died.

Ableism teaches us to abandon each other. Racism will disable you. Transphobia will disable you. Long COVID will disable you. Genocide will disable you. Climate change will disable you. Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable. Resistance & communities must be rooted in disability justice.

I just want to go on the record and say that if I paid god only knows how much for health insurance and copays, waited the absurd amount of time to see a specialist that has become bog standard, only to be diagnosed by a MLM?! I'd be on the 6pm, 11pm, and 6am next morning news in that order!

*adds to neverending pile of books i want to read and teach in my classes*
