O @rustbeltrebel.bsky.social and @burnlittlelight.bsky.social guess who showed up liking my video on mean girl cultural criticism?

Respectability politics are the tools of white supremacist forced assimilation and punitive compliance.

I spent yesterday in the ER so im spicy as hell right now . I should start 2026 with centering and meditation But I kind of what to fight so imma just be maladjusted for a bit!!!

Well it’s bleak because folks with power and resources don’t actually want to repair the damage , they want to be in charge , beat an “enemy” and manage the narrative More than any change

LeCun proving me right about how diversity , empathy, and curiosity and the nuances of learning would become trendy The minute a white perish said it in a way that erased context on the second day of the year was NOT in my 2026 bag

LOL Le Cunnsayjng this after years of be in g a racist when soft sciences pointed out the nuance of people that failed his model My hod 2026 is giving me so many gifts of feelings vindicated and angry

… I know I have a different take because folks are screaming leave Twitter et al but then still palling around with people who do similar things to other issues

But he started by being a racist misogynist who attacked people that most people thought who were “above their station” as a world we kind of shrugged it off And til we start telling the truth about why via his targets it won’t

Folks don’t want to activate when it’s racism, they get the news they deserve

The conspiracy/ “I’m smarter than everyone” pipeline has gotta stop. And we just gotta admit that the literacy and comprehension problem is more prevalent in the upper class than we think

Came across this on Instagram and was immediately annoyed - most people currently alive can’t read most historical documents for a myriad of reasons that far exceed handwriting. That’s why people who actually do read those documents (historians) learn palaeography!

Send me your favorite 2026 horoscopes

Folks claim to be organizing for folks rights .. but just blanket claim everyone is having the same experience of those rights being challenged with no context and No Waiting years and only popping up when you want something is a pattern

I genuinely believe in a pluralistic society So people just have different experiences and POVS where I get annoyed is when folks trying to create racist classist frameworks based in me ignoring years of training and claim their “universal” and justify it with popularity

“Sydette you know you’re like the only person with your following size who so outspokenly attacks stuff everyone loves in the zeitgeist” “If it worked then why would the fact I dislike it so much matter?”

I have multiple issues with Doctorow and enshittification But the main one structurally Is he like most privileged people Confuse “Worth the trouble” for “ universally good because he’s from position where the price of entry was prepaid for him

“The internet was a wonderful and weird place!!!” Black planet ( which MySpace was based on) Factually got started so Black people could get away from the racism and nonsense that the “weird” internet was enforcing through design

Hey we fight for rights by pushing theories that misrepresent history and act like rights only matter when first world white people feel impacted on the user side !!!!! WOHOOOOO

We’re just gonna enshrine online segregation and gentrification like it’s a competition Cool

At some point people will understand that someone saying they are “intimidated” by another person . Is a license for them to justify harm/ manipulating that person . and that asking the other person to be less is controlling

Socialism doesn't mean you gotta stop being a bad bitch

dude's been saying somali immigrants were the country's biggest terrorists *under own byline* for years. bsky.app/profile/matt...

oh wow, you're tell me a guy who contributed regularly to the federalist is a white supremacist? will wonders never cease

Finding out someone is sick and then trying to reach out to make sure they can do things they used to do That’s predatory “But but I was feeling disconnected “ No you wanted to make sure your mule/ appliance was working well

Or the internal / lateral violence of using being Black to shield from recognizing how they see other Black people as tools or access points . Just because skinfolk is Black too doesn’t mean that believing other Black pelle should serve you isn’t anti Black

YEP I want ALL Black people to thrive … and sometimes that’s against the wishes of other Black people who want it to benefit only them .. which means being honest with them

Definitely started weaponizing it. Hearing valid critiques about some skinfolk in positions of power get shielded by just throwing whole antiblack allegations has been a wild thing to see… or said skinfolk just not caring about the harm they cause just bc they were glad to be black in that position

Was just thinking that Gone With the Wind will be public domain in 6 years. Considering the tantrum the Mitchell estate threw about The Wind Done Gone, I think you all know what to do with that information.

Crime is down, and the city is as safe as it has ever been. The city’s economy has defied predictions of doom and staged a strong recovery. And the major policy experiment of 2025, the congestion charge on vehicles entering lower Manhattan, has been a huge success.

This is not new. This why canteen/commissary has become a black market because the food is "better". Also I read an article on how the private prison industry is THE WORST offender. Aramark (hot fuckin garbage food vendor) is one of if not the largest in the US and they exclusively use them.

Folks left me off of list serves about sexual predators and openly admitted it was because my “type of woman” didn’t act right They meant women of color and women who advocated for trans rights ( they however forgot two things .. I do not drink heavily around white people alone and I’m BIG)

Yes trauma is hard , and while the CONCEPT of conflict not being abuse is real .. the book is muddied and problematic on re read AND continual dramatic escalation of to drown out accountability might come from trauma but still is abusive and manipulative And we are NOT ready for that

I don’t sub people. Grudges annoy me , but I don’t forget . I block people And the reality of perpetual whisper campaigns and narrative management having MALICIOUSLY shaped a lot of our current media moment absolutely needs to be dealt with AND there’s no safe way to do it

I also understand we were in our 20’s… And at this juncture seeing how awful everything has turned folks should be having hard fucking convos About how racism/ transphobia and trauma caused real harm but also how basically depending on BUT REPUBLICANS TARGET ME” Is abusive white nonsense

I recognize the Ivy League as a place fraught with issues of class and access But imma hold folks by the neck and ask them to note how white people fling that ish about towards POC millennials without talking about how we get NO access otherwise especially in NYC *looking at The Intercept*

Jude Doyle / Charlotte Clymer / ole girl from garvard and Laurie Penny are up and stuck with me Parker Molloy as well Because them people watched folks use that access to target Black folks and specifically Blakc trans women while they argued “access” across multiple of those lists

The fact that a lot of them are clout chasing layabouts who are more aggregators with a race and nepo head start doesn’t change that they often joined these spaces to be shitty and are ignoring / reinventing now

The ‘10’s were wild and filled with folks treating the burgeoning failure of journalism like a cash cow And a lot of resisters and sadly many of them trans/ NB themselves were access and clout chasers who while the can blow up at a POC on command ? Had no problem colluding with fasc

I would disagree that they methodicaly planned . But that’s more because those journalists were sloppy back then In 2018 that was two years after Singal had been a racist ass Joel picking on Black and trans posters on social media While bragging about this list serve as access

What are you looking for in social media? privacy.thenexus.today/what-are-you... Your perspectives welcome! - as replies here - in the pol.is conversation at pol.is/7xjmwmuxnt?r... - in the CryptPad form at cryptpad.fr/form/?ref=pr... I'll write up the results later this month

Well I mean a radioactive lizard trying to read the dashes of internet notes of ND semiotician would be difficult. I mean I know you’re a bot trying to be mean to me , but it’s not an insult that I’m not comprehensible to a fictional Japanese kaiju

Hudson Williams created Shane from a sketch . Amazing work but not at all the depth given Ilya

"urban America is Real America & its denizens are The Authentic People." You're doing the same thing here. And you're leaving out, inter alia, rezes and our peoples. So just fucking stop with any and ALL colonialist nationalism, hmm? It's ALL fashy. Y'all will be fine without it.

I am old enough to remember when Apple and Google told the social media giants that they'd remove their apps from their app stores if they broke their terms of service. Weird!

Visitor to Ark Encounter could have exposed others to measles, Kentucky public health officials warn kentuckylantern.com/briefs/visit...

This is really good. Because when we (and AA actors) talk about Brits playing AA roles. We dont often hear from Brit actors who do thevresearch or make the connection to the same culture. Wunmi is as tied to Annie as many of us. Same root, diff branch.

LET’S GET DOWN GO BUSINESS

The blue dumplings!!!!!
