Smuggling information from Mississippi onto bsky dot app - about one of the more brutal campaigns of anti-reconstruction terrorism in Mississippi history (which is saying a LOT given how it went down here)

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

🚨If you have kids/young people at HBCUs make sure they are aware of what’s happening. These “debate me bros” plan to tell travel to more HBCUs and are looking to do nothing but cause trouble.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Wow, nobody I know got raptured. You all must be some real fucking goons.

The thing about a 'muzzle' like this, it doesn't just prevent sound, it will eventually kill the eagle because it cannot sustain itself. I'm not sure if that point was intended, but its a brilliant cartoon by @billdayart.bsky.social, courtesy CagleCartoons. These muzzles are killing America.

Thank you for sticking up for all of us “red state” not-Republicans. We do exist. We do love our homes and neighbors. And we do fight for justice, equity, and fair representation. We fight hard despite rarely winning and being supported only by one another.

Mississippians, we need to do something similar for Supertalk.

Even the cheapest wired earbuds are superior and don’t get cussed out for falling out of my ears.

NPR's @ayesharascoe.bsky.social heads to the club — the Earlybirds Club — and dances until the break of 8 p.m.

Physics of Fluids journal article: ‘Phase behavior of Cacio e Pepe sauce’. The authors found the dish entered the “Mozzarella Phase” when starch concentrations (relative to cheese) dropped below 1%, “corresponding to an unpleasant and separated sauce”. [pubs.aip.org]

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. So we made that list for you 👇

This is a deadly tax on Americans living with diabetes in poverty. Not having ready access to easily ingested, fast-acting sugar, like soda or candy, can kill a type 1 diabetic. Juice boxes aren’t cheap, and diabetes isn’t easy. It is, however, very expensive, no matter how you manage it.

I am telling you, I am TELLING you, every Prince song is about the joy of being in your body as a method of dealing with coming apocalypse, literal or personal.

I’m “just washed down a Sudafed with Mylanta” years old [slash] cool.

Smash two movies together to make a new movie. Ferris Bueller’s Day of the Dead.

An observation I made as a child growing up in the Deep South. The most pleasant, most caring individuals can still be unapologetic racists. They may even have Black friends, acquaintances, employees they consider an “exception” & are kind, even loving, towards, while also advocating for segregation

O eh, o eh O eh, oo, aah O eh, o, eh O eh, oo, aah Yah, yeah, goh … At night, When you turn off all the lights and scroll, There's no place that you can hide— Oh no! The algorithm is gonna get'cha!

I am 10000% certain that our governor, other statewide officials, and most business leaders are creaming at the thought of Tr*mp sending troops to Jackson. Hopefully our new, less “threatening” mayor will be able to successfully navigate the neverending Republican chicanery.

Me and who?

"Charlie Kirk should have been murdered privately" girl what

Today I participated in the Louisiana Osteoporosis Study at Tulane. I did it to get the results of the bone scan but you also receive a $25 Amazon or Walmart gift card. They need more participants, so if you’re interested, check out the link below. cbg.medicine.tulane.edu

Just gonna drop this here tonight wapo.st/3VKVNT2

Mississippians, this means both Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith voted to protect pedophiles.

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

Happily vaccinated for both Covid and flu today. I’m very lucky that despite having conditions that qualify me as high risk, I have the ability to research where shots are available, get an appointment online, and drive 20 min to a location in a white suburb inaccessible by public transport.

Yes, please stop.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

The “Blue” Confederacy won’t succeed any more than the first secession, but it would harm and kill plenty of non-white and/or poor people, not all of whom voted for this administration, so maybe don’t be an anti-American jackass and spread harmful, anti-American ideas.

Last week, I ordered a peach fried pie but was served (apologetically) a fried strawberry & white chocolate pie. What a let down, but the place is so good, they comped my to-go dessert, which I ate that night (curiously) and the next day (glutonously).

I’m not sure why Bluesky hasn’t gotten better at being Etsy friendly but here’s a new link that works…hopefully. comingandgoingdesign.etsy.com/listing/1897...

“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.

Hey, Not Mississippi Yet states, if you think you’re safe from this dumbass administration’s threats/promises, you’re not. Mississippi voters already live under these laws, & (bonus challenge), our midterms were last year, so you’re on your own when it comes to changing who holds power in Congress.🤷🏻‍♀️

long weekend at bernie's

We used to post etymologies. We still do, but we used to, too.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for these Luminous Garden Elves. These little guys are straight out of a Studio Ghibli movie. I like to think they eat microplastics while we sleep, slowly healing our decaying planet. collabs.shop/nk2vvv

When we had our active shooter drill, the PD posted goofy-ass pics. If parents saw the actual video of how it really looked with ARs blasting behind my office, and dummy bodies the size of kids in the media center, they'd shit. It's so damn depressing, and kids found the dummy bullets the next day.

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is

Imagine if the Pentagon’s budget and enlisted troops were put toward public infrastructure improvements, upgrades, maintenance, and repairs.

A millennial #take: I NEVER want to listen to the “deluxe” version of a classic album. When the last song on that original album ends, I want to hear silence until I put something else on, not twenty minutes of demos that record executives slapped on at the end to sell super-fans another CD.

I promise you if you didn’t grow up in the 90’s, we didn’t realize how weird it was at the time

Heads up, everyone, it’s b.y.o.spoons at the a.y.c.e. soup buffet this weekend.
