And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.

Congress make the SC 39 members, randomly chosen per case NOW.

🌿The MassMarsh Program is advancing a statewide effort to monitor, assess & restore our salt marshes. Recently, participants received hands-on training in monitoring methods & restoration planning. Together, we're building the tools needed to protect our salt marshes. @umassamherst.bsky.social

I bet landing just right feels so good

I do! Half the class reads primary sources blaming British soldiers for the Boston Massacre & the rest sources blaming the colonists. Students read & vote on who they found responsible. Then we talk about bias as most still blame the soldiers #HATM #TheAmericanExperiment rmgunter.com/posts/901-in...

The federal government and multiple states announced a $450 million settlement against the PFAS manufacturer Chemours, which runs DuPont's chemicals operations. 🧵

Peach Momoko's amazing Avengers #1 variant cover is just making me mad that she's not doing any of the interiors

I'm a part of it. Not separate from it. I walk on the ground and the ground's walked on by me, I breathe the air and change it, I am entirely interconnected with the world.

Here’s what the air conditioning discourse illuminates: to deal with climate change we need to electrify & we need zero carbon electricity, we also need more electricity- like double or triple what we have. And we need more cooling & cooling equity. There will be folks fighting against all of that.

easily funniest goal of the tournament 1. corner flag saves ball from going out of bounds 2. surprised austrian defender full on leg tackles algerian guy 3. other algerian guy boots it into a defender’s nuts 4. algerian guy dekes out two other defenders, spectacular finish

a reminder LAPD and the city of los angeles have a contract with flock expiring july 11th that hydee feldstein soto is re-negotiating with flock for one (1) dollar and neither mayoral candidate running in november has said whether or not they would cancel the contract

I don't want some vague talk about capitalism. Tell me the following: 1) Will you investigate Elon Musk and everyone involved with DOGE? 2) Will you work to release the Epstein files? 3) Is impeachment on the table? 4) Will you restore the Affordable Care Act to its pre-Trump state?

If your town has no Black people, or they all live in one neighborhood, that isn't spontaneous. It was a policy choice. If you want to dismantle racism in your communities, you have to be able to recognize it first.

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

This is quite literally the best thing you will see today.

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

You deserve joy. I deserve joy. Things are a dumpster fire right now, but we can only be prepared for future challenges when our hearts & spirits have joy. Joy is respite. Joy is love. Joy is fuel. Get your joy.

If one more motorcycle with the loudest pipes on the gd planet goes by, I’m putting out a spike strip. It’s a beautiful summer night, windows are open, bugs chirping and singing away. Let me enjoy the peace of the world without internal combustion engines.

A thoroughly enjoyable thread

Heat-related deaths are also often undercounted, e.g., analysis of excess deaths during the 2021 PNW heat wave suggests three times more people were killed than were officially reported. Heat is so dangerous.

The bad guys win sometimes, but they don’t win forever

An informative look at what abortion is, how abortion regulation has been legislated and subverted around the world, and the consequences pregnant people experience when they are unable to access heathcare safely. Recommended reading for everyone. #BookSky #GraphicNovel

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

“An Epic Research study published on Friday analyzing electronic health records found that gambling disorder diagnoses have risen more than 60 percent since 2018 in states that have legalized sports betting. The largest increase came from young people, aged 18 to 29, whose rate more than doubled.”

One of my favourite archival finds was someone talking about the sheer number of Polish conservators working across the world after they’d all been trained to help rebuild Warsaw.

"Hawaiians disapprove of people carrying guns in public The problem for Hawaii, however, is that 18th-century laws support neither the end that Hawaii pursues nor the means that it deploys, so they cannot justify Hawaii's default rule" 1) i'm gonna lose my mind 2) this is that BS im talkin about!

In a sane world there would be International Arrest Warrants naming every Oil, Gas & Coal billionaire for climate crimes against humanity

truly incredible. turns out one of the only things you can’t turn over to ai is connecting w other humans and their ideas. who knew?

Heather Cox Richardson has been posting vids that celebrate the American spirit via our past. They’re called 250 to 250, and I love watching them! This one is about Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, and why he performed the blazing rendition of our anthem. TIL he was a paratrooper in our armed services.

people are always amused/confused about how romance authors & readers keep doing things like organizing 1.5 million whistles or raising $1 million... but we read & write books where when everything is bleak, you pull together with your people & hope your way to victory. we rewired our brains.

If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

Question: Are Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil infrastructure having a real impact, not only undermining Russia's war machine but also making regular Russians feel costs of war in unignorable ways? Answer: Picture of car line waiting to get fuel, so long that there are port-a-potties along the way.

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

One thing I want everyone to know is unconstitutional behavior happens every day to less well connected defendants. But I’m glad this attention is bringing it down.

Lol

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

Similarly, "AI in education" should be far more "What can you tell us about the lack of accountability over content & bias in these models? What can you tell us about substituting plausibility for verifiability? What data privacy exists?" instead of "When is your instruction going to be AI-first?"

!!!!

Exactly this💯 And imagine how it’d feel not to have our health insurance tied to our employment and have reasonable healthcare costs…

Can’t wait until the entire country is Mamdanistan. Absolutely love this for New York. Look at what you did! Beautiful.
