I’m sure they could concoct some story about how scary a 1st grader’s costume was that they “feared for [their] life.” That song is always sung, even if it’s about kids.

🎉 Season 6 of The Tech Humanist Show launches with @bariawilliams.bsky.social! Bärí shares her journey merging law and tech, creating Meta's supplier diversity program, and why her book "Seeing Yet Unseen: A Black Woman Crashes the Tech Fraternity" matters now more than ever.

Sunday, June 1st, "The Silicon Shrink" author Daniel Oberhaus joins @bariawilliams.bsky.social‬, @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social‬, & Omar Zahzah at the Bay Area Book Festival to discuss problematic reports from the frontlines of tech. Link for details: www.baybookfest.org/session/prob...

The Bay Area Book Festival is this weekend! I'll be in conversation with @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social @bariawilliams.bsky.social Omar Zahzah and Daniel Oberhaus about their books that detail tech's impact on Oakland, Black women, psychiatry, and Palestinian people www.baybookfest.org/session/prob...

It's interesting how all of these stories have a common thread, and the first one is just...

Well, I just got back from seeing Sinners with my almost 15 yr old son. That was a time! And I realize he grew again. Some more. 🫠

Fantastic piece that sums up Black women's resistance that I see. ‘We don’t have an option not to fight’: How Black women are resisting now 19thnews.org/2025/04/blac... via @19thnews.org ews.org and @errinhaines.bsky.social

There is a reason why Mark: 1. Eliminated DEI programs & fact checking 2. Changed offensive speech policy (w/ S. Miller approval) 3. Donated to inauguration fund and hosted a party 4. Bought a DC home 2 weeks ago 5. Made multiple pilgrimages to MAL Pay. To. Play. He wants the Eric Adams special.

Good on them! We need more of this. I also understand and recognize they come from a point of privilege with a ridiculously large endowment that they can say no. Other schools without that luxury need to band together and say no. Same with law firms. (Can't believe I have to type that last one.)

Paul Weiss, now Skadden. A dumpster fire. When lawyers are caving, it's the beginning of the end. Add JD Vance in charge of what's in the Smithsonian museums - carte blanche to erase history and culture... Where is an active opposition party?! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

Translation: "Change your admissions policy such that only white Americans can be admitted. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Really realizing that his sixth strategy for trying to attain world-historical hero status is by punishing perceived domestic enemies. His power flows crush his enemies, delivering satisfying retribution for his supporters.

Sam Bankman-Fried has a burner... Zoom/Teams/Meet in prison?! How do we get out of this simulation?

And so it begins... "If you don't teach what we want, and make your students behave how we determine is appropriate, then we will take your funds and cripple the university. Thus, kids will have to go to Oral Roberts or Liberty University." We need to move on this. Now.

Someone please list the Dems that voted to censure Rep. Green. I wanna see something...

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— oh.

I would enjoy just one day when someone reached out to me to ask how they could be of assistance. Every email, text, call, DM, smoke signal, carrier pigeon I receive is someone asking me for something - time, money, free legal advice, etc. I'm tired. I ain't got it and not good for it.

Nevermind this is wholly inefficient and the large scale federal gov. version of "a meeting about a meeting that could've been an email," but who is reading this? Some DOGE kid who is 19 deciding if the work of someone in the role for 20 yr made enough progress? How are the decisions made?!

The most effective way to stop 47, was to NOT ELECT 47. Elections have real consequences for ALL people who are on this soil (which is why I remain confused about ppl who withhold their vote). And yet, we're still in this Murc's law feedback loop

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Watching this new season of "Love is Blind" feels like a part-time job that requires long hours but underpays. My God. This is boring as hell. Does location make a difference? I'm starting to think so. Too many sane people in MN. lol #LoveIsBlind #LoveIsBlind8

I believe #BlackHistoryMonth is every month, but love having my book included in this list... and there's a new giveaway to encourage you to read my take on being a Black woman in tech where we're hyper visible but invisible. #SeenYetUnseen Grab it here (or Amazon if you): shorturl.at/QKj1g

Birthday parties at the place of business for Charles Entertainment Cheese.

Because I can't leave well enough alone. Just in case you missed it the first time, but now in light of Trump blaming a plane crash on DEI, Obama, and Biden policies without any proof - I can't stress enough how harmful these false flags are. I'll ring this alarm forever.

Seems we need to find a new version of FAFO since Tang Tyrant has decided to try to co-opt it. UGH. Not only can we not have nice things, but we can't have anything.

I had to write this. It's personal, supplier diversity was my brainchild, but it also has implications for all of us - from the types of products made, their harm, and who we enrich using their platforms. I hope it makes you consider where and how you use social media: shorturl.at/BYa5r

As if Facebook could get worse, especially after it became Meta...it does. Happy Friday! www.axios.com/2025/01/10/m...

TF? 😨

So, a(n alleged) statutory SA trafficker will tell you how to implement the law and a bear killer with literal worms in his brain is controlling my food safety? Where is the blue pill for this? How do we get out of this simulation? We need the ghost of RFK Sr.

Whew... welp, this thing on? 👋🏾 Gotta keep finding my folks. Still. But had to leave that place.

Okay... I need to find my folks on here now. Found some, but need to find the rest. Where are y'all?

Moral of the story. Don’t try to steal a robot. It will snitch on you. www.404media.co/serve-food-d...

Is this thing on? So, was Tucker for Don Lemon and 1:1 trade? And hi, y’all!
