Reread Cathy Linh Che's Becoming Ghost last night. I do need to work today, but if there's time, will be rereading Split. #AmReading

No public service (education, health care, public transit, postal service etc.) should be run like a business. Business only serves investors. Public services serve the people. All of them.

Oops! You accidentally forgot about your tea for too long 🐥🌸

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

"He took the unique biometric facial features of a 14-year-old Indigenous girl, ran them through an industrial production process and generated billions of dollars in profit without ever once asking her permission. That is not film-making. That is theft.”

America's favorite nephew has an HBO special! I love this for him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcso...

I hope she has a big enough driveway for the trucks full of Cameron's money to pull in.

as a follow up: i had a lawyer talk with another lawyer and are getting these ads using my art taken down and damages paid. it ain’t a lot but i hope it’s enough to make a point. update the wiki!!!!!!

They literally... ...like *literally* literally... ...want to do it all (MAGA) but "make it better" for whiteness.

The sacred work of being human is transmuting fear into curiosity.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

The problem i have with AI in the college system SLOP CAN’T TEACH

little angels live among us

College is the intentional surrendering of the mind to the transformative process of knowledge

A male orange-tip butterfly in an area of emerging scrub on our farm. So much wild colour around at the moment. And so much hope, as nature surges back.

‘Turn It Off’—Google Starts Scanning Your Gmail As Update Goes Live

An example of Spark's magic? In September, you helped the volunteers provide electricity for hundreds of high school kids in Gaza taking their exams for the first time in two years. A million such examples. Fight scholasticide. Resist. 103/770 by Sunday: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Every social movement will ultimately fail if it doesn't deal with racism. I didn't make the rules.

Georgia O'Keefe was onto something, you know? Greetings from my front yard daffodil 🏳️‍🌈

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

May 4th, 1961. The Freedom Riders depart Washington, DC for New Orleans to challenge the non-enforcement of desegregation throughout the South.

the specific AI education will be outdated in 6 months, but the skills unlearned will last forever!!

the best education to make a person 'literate' in 'ai' would be a comprehensive liberal arts education :)

I've never seen this photo of Toni Morrison before. Photo by Dwight Carter. Published in Essence.

you don't need a study to know this is bad for kids. that's why school admins have zero excuses for signing these deals

Learning is a difficult and slow process. There are no shortcuts. And it is this process (reading, thinking, engaging) that makes analysis itself possible - to suggest that the heavy lifting can be outsourced in this way fundamentally misunderstands, and indeed undermines, the purpose of education.

the fight against ICE has never stopped

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Hello friends, greetings from Gaza. Today there have been strong winds and heavy dust since this morning, according to the weather forecast. This will continue for the next three days. Please share and donate if you can." bit.ly/help-mohamed or 👀👇

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

Feels flippant to use the term Streisand Effect here, but that's what happened. Japan ensured a statue very few people would've seen and even fewer would've understood won't be put up, and instead people all over the world are going to read about their system of sexual slavery during WWII.

Will you join around 300 members of the giving circle in sustaining very real, immediate survival for 21 families in Gaza? Food, shelter, medicine, disability needs & more for six families and a displacement camp of fifteen more. Best way to help? Clicking "weekly” on just a five, if you can:

Intersting thing abt Korean is how things translate. See screen shot. Also, sohn mat literally translates "hand taste." It's abt how food one makes is personal to you like grandma's sohn mat is kind of like how grandma makes food in a certain way unique to her (This is my understanding at least!)

Learning Korean

I was at HMart with a friend today. I do not have a sweet tooth at all, but I have a soft spot for hodo kwaja or what I always referred to as hodo bbang (literally translated walnut bread). The size and shape of a walnut with red bean and walnuts inside.

I do know it’s silly to some people but I do believe in Joy as an act of resistance for the currently & historically marginalized & oppressed. It’s not the only thing of course. But it’s one important component. I don’t believe my ancestors, my direct ancestors were bled dry for me to mope around.

A hell of a flex. “At 17, I was going to parties with Andy Warhol at some rich person’s house and hobnobbing with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. I didn’t even have time for my senior year of high school, because I was exhibiting and traveling the world..” news.artnet.com/art-world/la...

Repost with art that had a profound impact on you (I don't know if you'd call this "art," but someone spray painted this during the pandemic along the shore near my home. I would take walks each morning and seeing this every day meant a lot... more than the person who did it would likely guess...)

This is some shit you say before a traveling witch curses you in some kind of horrible and ironic way

Give me unlimited money to burn and we’re launching a studio for mid-budget passion projects from auteurist weirdos and people who joined gangs while going to art school
