As a white liberal with Southern roots, I hear this, but also: 1) "The South" has been ubiquitous w/"the white supremacist South" for far too long. I refuse to cede it to those fuckers. 2) There's a reason much of America bought into the Lost Cause for a century+. White supremacy knows no region.

There never was any time when it was okay to try and rehab that incredibly odoriferous and unctuous bit of slime otherwise known as Richard Hanania

The interesting aside here is that the artist featured there is an African-American woman who has been doing "generative art" for years before the bubble lit off, but I suspect it was only highlighted at SFO because of the current bubble: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettric...

BREAKING: Acting chief of FEMA David Richardson departs from his job just six months in, officials say.

Right beloveds we had so little uptake of this that I’ve extended the deadline indefinitely — if you’re someone who loves sales and marketing and wants to work for my small but mighty disabled-majority social enterprise, please apply!

The undergrads at the Crimson has consistently done a better job at investigating stories--big and small--than some of the legacy papers. Go college journalism.

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

"Jeffries concluded, 'Pulte knows what he is doing is lawless... Accountability is coming. The statute of limitations is five years. Every single corrupt sycophant, including Bill Pulte, who continues to disgrace the law will have to answer for their actions'...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

Eugene O'Connor Emails Reveal a Lost Birmingham || the controversial sheriff's recently released documents reveal a close-knit police community that wistfully evokes 19th century social customs

“When her professor emailed her feedback on an AI-written paper, she refused to open it. She still hasn’t. “It’s wasting his time because he’s editing a fucking machine,” Gwen said. “Whatever he has to say is meaningless to me anyway, because it’s not my writing.”

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

This is a wonderful critique of a recent decree to silence indigenous languages in educational settings in Nigeria, or as the author so aptly puts it, "On the Silencing of our Tongues." I wish the Lagos Review was here to add to the BLK Sky conversation.

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators

Barbara Smith said, “Expectedly, the right wing is repulsed by identity politics… What is more disturbing is that a lot of people on the left also attack identity politics and are similarly unaware of the source of the term or what anticapitalist Black women actually meant by it.”

Incredible scene of Starlings 😲💙

P.S. I was raised by generations of Black women who didn't care about Black men's opinions about their hair, including their fathers, husbands, and boyfriends. Just saying! Our hair journey is not the same as the brothas' hair journey. They have their own battles to fight! Our hair is OUR business.

This is a major reason why any California partition scheme (to more fairly award California representation in the US Senate) must not attach San Diego to Los Angeles and instead let us be our own state (joined with Imperial County)

The only thing better than having your work recognized is when it’s recognized alongside your friends’ work. That’s why @belcantobooks.bsky.social and @sojo.net selecting Year of the Tiger and The Viral Underclass as monthly picks meant the world to me

Besides some mascara, lipstick and powder, I haven’t really worn makeup in a long time. I’m gonna apply a light beat and some pressure for this fundraiser dinner tonight. I haven’t been feeling like myself but also feeling pretty without makeup. But it’s the holiday season and I’m ready to pop out.

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of author, activist, and Disability Visibility Project founder Alice Wong. Her writing and steadfast advocacy changed so many lives.

Assimilationist gays are going to continue to feed the rest of the acronym into the woodchipper, thinking that means they will never be chipped themselves. I'm so tired of it.
