Women and girls should be safe in movement work. Holding gratitude and grief for Dolores Huerta’s dedication and bravery. Wishing she didn’t have to be so goddamned committed and brave.

Re Chavez: Thread for sexual assault survivors/victims (however you see yourself is ok!) and people supporting them today. Here are some things that I think are useful. I am not an expert, just someone who has been navigating being public about my experiences, including in media interviews. 🧵

Towns and schools that now have to change names of roads, schools, etc. because CC was a rapist? Change all of those to Dolores Huerta! ¡Sí se puede!

From Dolores Huerta: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for… I can no longer stay silent…” Full statement: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

a thing i kinda like about the more recent spate of tv shows and movies set in academia is they make it very clear that academics are mostly losers. no dead poets society, just petty old narcissists with the frontal lobes of 12 year olds doing sexual misconduct, that's the necessary representation.

Ohhh you guys look!

When I find a man who doesn't listen to them fuck ass podcasts.

Autumn Durald Arkapaw is the first woman to ever win an Academy Award for best cinematography. @charlespulliam.bsky.social talked to her about bringing Sinners to life by focusing on the big picture.

It is because I see the harm gAI use/misuse is doing to students in my classrooms that I am so critical of the enterprise. And Im not alone, either. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Funny enough, this is way too similar to The Color Purple being shut out…

after watching 'insecure' there is simply no excuse for dark and deep complexions to be poorly lit. ava berkofsky had people my complexion under BLUE light looking absolutely godly. we know what's possible now. folks just have to care.

SINNERS stats: • 4 Oscars • 3 BAFTAs • 2 Grammys • 2 Actor Awards • 2 Golden Globes • A on CinemaScore • $370M+ worldwide • 4 Critics Choice Awards • 97% on Rotten Tomatoes • One of the best reviewed wide-release films of the decade

ummm Paramount is buying out Tyler Perry and shutting down the BET streaming app to move that content to the Paramount+ app 🥴 variety.com/2026/tv/news...

You'd think they'd want to discuss how it won as many awards as The Matrix, ET, Fellowship of the Ring, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Parasite... How it has the most wins of any Vampire movie ever... How its success further cements that Coogler's deal could be Hollywood's future. But alas. It's Black.

gofund.me/86876ca97 I’m on the edge of burning out.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

SINNERS 🏆🎥 #Oscars

Here are some!! Good luck 💙

I salute you

Your grandmother says you read a lot. Every chance you get. That’s good, but not good enough. Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper reasoning. —- Maya Angelou, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings (p.106)

how much worse slavery was in comparison to what they taught us in school (and how much we still don't know) how we don't know what we were before slavery and how we have to depend on school to tell us. honestly, we are not angry enough.

“You’re not just becoming disabled,” said Elle Seibert, 31, who has dealt with debilitating fatigue and cardiac symptoms since 2020. “You’re realizing how easily society at large and people in your life will abandon you when you cannot offer them things.” www.latimes.com/science/stor...

It’s always so weird to me that people are so pushy about wanting people to like foods they like. Just….let people not like things. Taste and texture differences aren’t mental! And also who cares??

Neurodivergence is an excuse for like not reading the room. It’s not an excuse for doing active and intentional premeditated harm.

Plutonium has a half-life of 24,000 years.

this is what we really need to be worried about. AI infiltrating fields where the margin of error can literally mean life or death for someone. 👎🏽👎🏽

Fake references make Waite’s job as a librarian “so much harder,” she added. “I expect this on the wider internet, but not in reputable scientific journals,” she told us. “…It’s really worrying.” retractionwatch.com/2026/03/06/l... #medlibs

Here’s a recent example from the UK

In 1931, Albert Einstein and W.E.B. DuBois wrote to each other in German; DuBois asked Einstein to write an article for THE CRISIS. DuBois translated it and wrote as intro: "He is a brilliant advocate of disarmament and world Peace and he hates race prejudice because as a Jew he knows what it is."

Quit waiting around for Black people to Do Something and then glomming on. Go do something. Do the thing you're wondering why no one is doing

“Both women had three prior C-sections… And both women are Black. They had argued that compelling them to have C-sections violated their rights to make medical decisions. Hospital staff said their medical decisions threatened the health of the fetus. It would be up to the courts to decide”

The reality is most people feel the real problem with racism is them not winning a salon battle about their OWN “goodness” Than the fact the targets of racism are being destroyed, killed , and psychologically damaged

"It takes around 17 years for health findings to become mainstream practice" is an indictment of medicine's calcified and outdated management class. Medical training based on antiquated seniority-driven systems that care more about power than quality of care can't keep up with a changing world.

GATEKEEP BLACK CULTURE!

All sorts of guides and references on the ‘ethical use of AI’ are popping up here in Brazil. Just to make our lives difficult!!! Why on earth do we have to read a thousand and one references on the ethical use of a tool that is, by its very nature, unethical?

Buzzfeed killed their books coverage for this.

First case of hantavirus in New Mexico this year has been reported. It’s pretty rare, but there are tips in this article for protecting yourself, especially if you are in the four corners area.

I wrote about a company that had bad vibes from the jump defector.com/vindicated-a...

she was a raggedy racist hoe who piggy backed off the ideas of black women. She only wanted civil rights for white woman. TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH!

Migration was never about white movement. It was always about Black existence. Furthermore migrant cannot contain Blackness because Blackness is an identity that is simultaneously both at home and not at home, on a journey and not on a journey, departed and not departed.

Op-ed out today in @thesicktimes.org from PLRC co-lead @leticiasaurus.bsky.social and @jencurtinmd.bsky.social on the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! “Too often, people with Long COVID hear… not much can be done for them at this point. We… believe it is a fallacy that hinders access to care”

I wrote about a museum that is near and dear to my heart, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History

This is crazy because I just had to buy a “dental plan” on a website with a picture of a dog winking at me.

Data reveals demands on NSW hospitals have surpassed COVID pandemic NSW Healthcare quarterly data (Oct–Dec 2025) shows record pressure on emergency services, the highest since reporting began in 2010 • 408,518 ambulance calls • 300,367 ambulance incidents • 820,009 emergency department attendances
