Seen in Logan Square

Every single show in this 25-year-old promo has either been recently revived or never stopped airing

There are so many Black self-liberation stories like this - just the coolest shit anyone’s done & I truly believe that if America liked stories of revolutionaries or rebels defeating elites as much as we used to act like we do we would have mined these types of stories more for film & television.

This was me yesterday, tbh (Minus the falling)

Excellent automated alt text, my goodness.

we don’t talk enough about how Chicago is the most gorgeous city in the country

Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

"It is a weird thing as a parent to feel like you were the lucky one and your kids are the unlucky ones." @elienyc.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social how it feels knowing that because of SCOTUS his kids will grow up with less rights than he had.

Y’all, this is a friend of a friend’s son. He’s been missing since Tuesday afternoon, last seen near Howard. Please amplify if you can. Thanks.

The benchmark in my head for the average cost of gas, what I’d been paying two years ago: $2.30-$2.99 What did I painfully fill my car up with literally 10 minutes ago? $5.99, cheapest option Active gaslighting to try to make us believe that we’re unstable or crazy for remembering actual history.

Audio on for cheetah purring. This is Rozi, pronounced like 'Rosie,' from the Cincinnati Zoo (via their FB). The name means "flower" in Swahili. In the cat world, there are cats that can purr & cats that can roar, but there are no cats that can roar AND purr. I think cheetahs chose well.

Did you know that you can set up a reminder to add alt text? Alt text helps vision impaired posters understand images. Go to Settings, then Accessibility, and make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on - this will prompt you each time you add an image to your post!

The BBC's Accessibility Guide has several resources, including step-by-step instructions to using assistive technologies. The resource includes insight into several assistive technologies, including VoiceOver, JAWS, NVDA, TalkBack, ClaroRead, and Dragon. bbc.github.io/accessibilit...

this account is run by a human at NASA JPL who only posts real images with their receipts. it only has 11k followers compared to the 200k the ai slop space account has

This post is a fantastic example of what alt text can (and should) be.

“Hush now, be still. Soon you shall be one of us.”

Covid still exists so mask up out there. Even just sometimes is better than never.

Brief clip: Whoopi Goldberg raises concerns about #LongCovid on The View. She says one of her employees’ mothers has the condition and can no longer go out to do her job, so now works from home. She also raises concerns about the CDC.

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?

Bringing this to @scifantasy.bsky.social ‘s attention

Restraining myself from tagging my former CFPB co-workers who enjoyed this game with me at Penn Social back in the day (2017, 2018, maybe 2019)

Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.

That’s cool, not feeding your sailors always turns out fine

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

So here’s the question no one can ignore: how did he know who to send those letters to if they were anonymous? 2/2

You know, there is actually ONE thing positive that trump has done. I think as a whole, our country can identify the meaning of more amendments to the constitution. Before, I think we only really knew the 1st, 2nd, and 5th. Now: 10: states rights 14: birthright citizenship 25: removal of president

As local governments face grueling budget cycles, they're left to decide how to spend resources to address homelessness. Over 9 months, a PSU research team asked homeless residents what they need, and the report offers nuance to what studies find are effective ways to address homelessness.

If you yearn for something positive to do, today is also National Black Bookstore Day! The National Association of Black Bookstores has a directory so you can find a Black-owned bookstore near you! Buy a book, help a community, do something good for the world. #booksky #romancelandia

Is there a difference between conservative and liberal brains? Science says, “Yes.” Framing matters. Democratic strategists must take note. From me: "Neuropolitics: The Biological Roots of Ideological Divides." FREE FRIEND LINK: medium.com/armedwithrea...

Tump says Putin explained NATO to him. Wow. That explains a lot

🤔This paper is a little strange, in that it attributes to behavior change what is better explained by direct, intentional action. Ie, * at peak, between 20% and 25% of Twitter MAUs were Black. * Twitter super-posters 🙋🏿‍♂️ posted a disproportionate number of posts * Black folk were ~50% of superposters

Wow, Part 1 of book recs based on your fave character in "Sinners" by brilliant young brother Gen Z Historian (@kahlilgreene on TikTok & IG). If I were on TikTok, his account would be my jam. Listen at link for summaries of each one. 📚🎬✊🏾🌱 #BlackySky #History #Lit #Sinners #FilmSky #BestFilm

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

Palantir discovered ontology in much the same way Columbus discovered America. That is to say:the broligarchs are thieves & barbarians. They plant their flags on others' work & say "look at our genius!" Now they're claiming to have "popularized" a well-known branch of philosophy 1,000s of yrs old.

👇🏽 great example of how the NYT continues to — has never stopped — engaging in platforming anti-Black, genocidal rhetoric and how it is so normalized that it is not discussed in those terms (not a criticism of Victor, just noting the way our cultural vocabulary shifts for discussions anti-Blackness)

To closed captioners out there: Captions aren't meant for summarizing/paraphrasing what is being said. Give us the dialogue word for word, please. Also, don't censor curse words. If I'm old enough to watch this, I'm old enough to read the word "fuck."

In less than 24 hours, all patients will be out of West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park as the hospital blames its abrupt shutdown on a computerized billing system.

👏🏼The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/choctaw-na...

Is New Orelans a different city than New Orleans because you can't build a tunnel under New Orleans so I'm hoping this misspelling is intentional

Dreams DO come true: my photo of the ICE teens spread so far divorced of context or credit that Snopes dot com had to write a whole story confirming that I didn't make it with AI. 🥲

On this International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, a reminder that universities need to go much deeper in 'acknowledging links' to the trade in enslaved Africans. What about what was LOST & continues to be lost? folukeafrica.com/universities...

"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.
