I’m currently building an HIV and STI education website for AMERICAN COLLEGE WOMEN and have more links to Planned Parenthood Canada than I ever envisioned when I started this 2 years ago.

"This kind of historical amnesia .. about Columbus's role in the slave trade and the way that conquest invented Blackness as a form of abjection.. Even leftist critiques .. are focused on Columbus the murderer, not Columbus the enslaver." - Tiffany L. King @dukepress.bsky.social

The reason colonizers are so afraid of immigrants is because they make the mistake of thinking that because all colonizers are immigrants, all immigrants are also colonizers. They think immigrants come with evil in their hearts, because colonizers come with evil in their hearts.

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

Part of the giving circle is a volunteer project supporting fifteen displaced families in Jabalia—started during the previous ceasefire. You helped with food, water, medicine, public health. Help them rebuild the camp. Give/find the link here. 18 hours left ⚠️ 485/1000

In addition to this, I strongly encourage anyone who has been denied a claim to: 1) demand, on the phone and in writing, ther the name, license number, and specialty status of the physician who approved the denial be sent to you in writing. I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but....

15 years of every C suite going “we need to fire the skilled workers and do more internet” and this is how every business works now.

I promise you can criticize Israel for being a shitty genocidal country without making yourself angry over photoshopped memes & abandoning your critical thinking skills ESPECIALLY WHEN IT TURNS OUT THE MEMES WERE MADE BY NAZIS ON TWITTER trying to push “Jews are cultureless parasites” to leftists

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trump’s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judge’s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/e8Tnv6T

"André Leon Talley: Style Is Forever" opens Oct. 15 at SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion in ATL!

A series of connected deals announced recently between OpenAI, Nvidia and Oracle is worth around R7-trillion ($400-billion)– the biggest commercial deal in history, if it all pans out.

On Wednesday 10/15 at 6 PM, City Council will be hearing the first two pieces of legislation related to Portland's response to the federal government. A short 🧵on this meeting: There are three items on the agenda: The first is the Urban Forest Plan. The other two are about the federal gov't. 1/5

Despite what we see around us. I still have JOY!!!!

Not the most important point here, but a Black Hawk copper is “named for a Native American leader of the 19th century,” so the slippage between domestic and foreign war is impossible to stop when you deny America’s history that developed its war machine for settler colonial conquest

Of course the virulently homophobic, racist, and white supremacist so-called salvation army is feeding these putrid kidnapping, lynching, and enslavement units.

It's hot soup weather in Portland today, y'all! And that also means it's way too cold to sleep directly on the ground/bare metal. Check in with your houseless neighbors and please be fucking chill if they run a generator, pile up cardboard, or have a container firetonight.

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black). be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends. life is for the living. do it scared. 🏳️‍⚧️🖤🏳️‍🌈

Homesick for Texas food, praying for future partners who cook 😂

this app fucking sucks without Łink on it

No one was suckered by Fetterman. Folks wanted a white guy in office, despite the Black guy saying he was shady af. So they voted accordingly…and here we all are. Next time, listen to Black people (though I know y’all won’t).

I don’t even know what the fix would be for communicating how bad shit can get. Do you remember the recent blackouts in Texas because of grid failures? Imagine that, nationwide, during an extremely cold winter. Do we need to start fear-mongering?? It’s feeling like we need to do that!

But the thing is, we don’t want to get to the point of massive consequences bc it’s going to suck for absolutely everybody…and it’s going to, of course, hit poorer communities, black communities, and communities of color first (as many have already seen with data centers).

I think one of the challenges of AI discourse is that many people have not yet felt or seen the consequences of overusing water and electricity, and so everybody pointing out that queries use a ton of both means nothing to them. Yet.

what are your best “reading comprehension, do you use it?” memes? I clearly need an arsenal

Great explanatory 🧵

I love @marcusluther.bsky.social’s pedagogical approach to both teaching and learning. I read this post this morning and it reminded me to be intentional this coming week about being a source of uplifting energy.
