It never ceases to amuse me how the white electorate bangs on about qualifications, "DEI", eschews experts as "elites", etc., unless it's a non-white/non-Christian, but runs after the newest shiny thing without experience, track record, etc. apnews.com/article/dere...

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

the AuDHD urge to put additional context in parentheses in texts so others know there’s more than one thought happening at the same time

Now when I told y’all men question the fact that I read so much.. I totally get but babe no shame in attending literacy classes for adults… it’s free at my local library

Can we stop saying the media is solely to blame for where we are as a country? We got here because of white people. I will not be taking questions at this time.

All I’m saying, y’all need to let Rep. Crockett COOK! 🔥🔥 The Congresswoman is one of if not thee most effective person in government, when it comes to setting records straight and pushing for justice. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov

I entered 3 photos for the 2026 Audubon Photography Awards. ❤️

I have not seen a single police/state snuff video since Eric Garner's murder in 2014, please dont do this to yourself. Its not only not necessary, but akin to lynching postcards: the emotive consumption of Black death and state "justice" is a core part of anti-blackness

Mr. Cat loves his box.

If white people want to see people of color being racist towards them, I have a great idea for them. Get rid of the system of white supremacy. Then we have a level playing field & then we can talk.

"Purple on Valentine's Day symbolizes a unique blend of love, luxury, spirituality, and creativity." So says a website. I am going with that! Wishing you a lovely Valentine's Day evening and a wonderful Sunday! 💜 #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling Canterbury Bells 'Blue' Campanula.

FURTHER: “degenerate art” was targeted for destruction. Some of these pieces, we only have black and white photos memorializing. Sometimes less. I’m an author and a librarian to be. Book bans aren’t a badge of honor. They’re violence. Reinforcing the category isn’t bold or helpful.

Good morning y'all 🌄 Smile lines look better than frown lines as you age ✨️

As ever please tell everyone you know that LLMs are not databases. A database can have errors or be badly coded but you can dig into it and clearly look at the dataset. LLMs use a statistical model to output what seems best at the time but you can't check *why* or see the data.

It's Sunday morning so I'm doing crafts and listening to KEXP #quiltsky #sewsky

I started rewatching The Thick of It and "He's as useless as a marzipan dildo" is such a banger of an insult. If you've never seen it, it's Peter Capaldi at his absolute dickiest. That's a word I just made up

They keep changing tactics but keep kidnapping my neighbors. Every time they claim they’re drawing down things get a little worse.

The text on the center flyer reads: ICE goons: You will face justice in this life and the next. You will rot in jail, and burn in hell. Resign. Repent. Repay. The other fliers simply say ICE OUT with a flower. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

I suspect my 6:45 am meeting will be thru my phone. I cannot reach my laptop w/out disturbing Rogue. We all know that is the animal friend pact. It doesn’t show, but she has fully engaged my feet.

Sunday! For many in the middle lands of the Coyote Continent, it is a special Sunday, with a bonus Sunday coming tomorrow. For those working today, our thanks, and hopes your personal weekend is a good one.

I'm a reader, rather than a listener, so I generally don't do podcasts. But this one was impossible to resist.

It occurs to me there are also HISTORICAL PLACES many of which no longer exist, or exist in a different form and their connection to Black history has been lost. Last places post (re-up from last year) 1. FREEDOM Center 2.Schomberg Center 3. Black Smithsonian 4. Lynching Museum

AI crash out loading.

Up just before 4am thanks to my husky alarm clock. The 12 wk treatment for the condition that keeps me anchored in our oversize recliner makes me hopeful. It took a fight to get it. US american health care is illogical and bizarre. Gratitude mixed w/frustration. Rogue sticks w/me. My blessing.

Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

This makes SO MUCH SENSE. I feel like a completely different person.

Perhaps it goes without saying, but reducing polling places is both racist and ableist. A lot of people who could make it a fifth of a mile cannot walk half an hour to get to their polling place.

i hope i dream in tlingit tonight, that you’re all there, and we’re still singing and dancing together what a beautiful homecoming for our ancestors! you can feel the love in the hall tonight as our voices became one in welcoming them home after 100 yrs next, we need to sing our people home too 😉🫶🏼

The thing that makes this extra funny to me is that I think the cat is about to say this is all moving too fast…

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/
