Yet another indictment of the United States health system that James Van Der Beek’s wife and six kids need a gofundme because his unsuccessful cancer treatment destroyed them financially www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Call Alec Holland. New Plant Elemental just dropped.

That she's not even the only BW who is also an Olympic-Medal-Having-DOCTOR is why I keep saying discarding BW politically & economically before you get around to destroying everything else is a mistake. Imagine making the tactical error of freeing up your most degreed politically engaged demo FIRST.

I also have a controversial take about his old post about black folks getting over things and hash tags about Black Death Which is that i think that should not be in the same category as his Black history month post bc it reads to me as angry and pained about things not changing, and lashing out

Man thinking about the convo about Tyler the Creator’s fanbase and his antiblack past (I’m of the mind that we were watching a child grow to love himself as a black man in public, connected to his feelings about his dad) And it’s interesting to me that people see him as not addressing this

The interesting thing about "Woke2" as a term is that it perpetuates the erasure of Black culture and intellectual discourse by continuing to coopt the word "woke" by racist reactionaries. And it also makes leftists feel smugly superior to racist reactionaries. Anyway, happy Black History Month.

@mike-eagle.bsky.social your video on the fall off is a better wording of something I’ve felt for awhile— Cole as torn between his talent and what he wants to do, while struggling with doing things that he feels like he NEEDS to do. I feel like it trips him up a lot

"AI is just another tool that works." Well, that's demonstrably (if not obviously) not true, but even if it was, it's a tool that comes with too high an environmental, economic, social, ethical, and cognitive cost.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

Yeah so that NYT piece about DJT as a pagan king is ripe for a multitude of takedowns. Here's one of them.

James Van Der Beek, who starred in the teen drama series "Dawson’s Creek," has died at 48

Cause he had his own powerful company where he was the top guy and it was never close. He didn’t need a secret island he made his own world where he could do what he wanted in plain sight cause what is anyone else gonna do

This is a shirt I need as a sex positive person on the spectrum.

i think about this constantly. tradwife culture absolutely is a kink and no one will acknowledge that it's basically a 24/7 BDSM arrangement but done in an extremely unsafe and dangerous way.

Be proud of me i just admitted to my mother that I’ve lost belief in myself as a creative and i didn’t just shut the convo down when she was kind and cheerleading me That’s a step forward

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

This is gonna be another roswell give it time

Update: we have just one unclaimed Benefactor reward level for our existing stretch goals. If someone buys this one, I will have to think of stretch goals that don't exist for a project that hasn't funded yet, ha. 😅

Any local friends with cars want to pick me up and let me write at their house so i both get out and work I’ll vacuum or feed your cats

AND ANOTHER THING To say the hype is real or worthwhile Is to say everyone being sacrificed in the AI push is a worthwhile sacrifice

Been thinking how several rappers said in the past few years kids don’t really need to learn to read all i can think of is how the more you know, the better verses are. Ye did that shit w his school & I’m like ur strongest discography is based in shit you couldn’t talk about w/o your education

Another thing about reading for me When i was little, my parents found black led picture books. My house was filled with them. There was a series of books that took known fairy tales and cast them with black folk So it wasn’t until much later that i learned how folks felt about my features

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

The Xbox Kinect has had a deeper and longer lasting positive legacy and social impact than all the genai bots combined.

Me: *plaintively* my electric blanket isn't dry yet and I'm cold Spouse: you have a blanket right beside you Me: it'd a boring acoustic blanket Spouse: what Me: it isn't electric

Me bc i like not having headaches and also being and to see

AI will replace all workers they say and that’s good Prices for tech to use AI sky rocket and they say that’s good Prices for non AI tech skyrocket and they say use AI No one has jobs bc AI is forcibly replacing them AI is worse at all these jobs No UBI so how do we buy anything

It can’t even do math right, puts it sludge when asked to do creative tasks, people get so parasocial with it they have mental breakdowns, and hospitals are reporting undressing errors when they use it Why should we stop acting like the tech and hype are trash

Thinking about this again bc as a kid one of the reasons i could get into reading so much was because my mom could afford to buy three/ four books at a time Even as an avid reader it would be harder on kid me now bc how expensive books are

Celebrate by enjoying this again youtu.be/7z1bKu8OXbY?...

DOECHII CAME OUT AS LESBIAN

it is so embarrassing that we can’t get trump on the epstein stuff. After access Hollywood and Miss teen USA and the E Jean Carroll verdict, it’s like we let Jeffrey Dahmer go three times and then found him with a hundred human heads and we‘re standing there like are you SURE these aren’t yours

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

What the hell, sure Wonho.

This is happening today!!!!

Hey! YOU! mind sharing? Also, maybe back the book today? We'd really love to get this bad boy funded

Holy cow. This is unheard of. I'm starting to think this might have been a meritless political prosecution.

Important connection because this is something Tim Walz can do something about bsky.app/profile/swee...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

I mean, stanc*l could focus on doing the work instead of arguing w Native American folk for a whole day claiming that they don’t care about native issues bc they asked him not to call them “the Indians” And saying things like this But nah folks outside of MN are responsible for folks forgetting MN

Y'all if you think people should talk more about the Epstein files, a thing you can do is talk more about the Epstein files. Not go around and make sad noises about how everything that happens that impacts millions of people is a distraction from the Epstein files.

I love seeing them love on each other

Your Friendly (hush 😝) Neighborhood Bronxite is here to answer this question!! The Bronx has its name because of the wealthy man (and his family) that settled it — Jonas Bronck (his family being the Broncks). Unlike Manhattan, The Bronx was mostly farmland and the wealthy only vacationed there +

And the remix because I'm feeling extra ornery right now. youtu.be/PLT68mI5Pwc?...

Black History Month Playlist Day 11: youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?...

I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

My fav reason to detest Gene Simmons has to be his son Nick. A life of privilege and obscene ego created the most embarrassing attempt of nepotism ever. In 2009 Nick released a comic that got some hype, “Incarnate”. That idiot decided to swipe from 1 of the biggest comics ever, Bleach.

Terrible joke but how many things about Puerto Rican culture do you think some folks watching the Super Bowl only just realized weren’t created by lin manuel Miranda lol
