Black autistic girls exist and they’ve always been here. It’s time the world stopped overlooking them. Representation saves lives 🫶🏽 ‘I’m Autistic & I’m Phenomenal’ is that representation all little Black autistic girls need! 🖤🫶🏽♾️

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.

tbc im fine with this argument. i also quibble a bit with the possibility of anything about the computer or people with a weird relationship with it having a slur at all, since slurs come with the power of reinforcing a repressive hierarchical system

I quote skeeted @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social ‘s post about how ICE locked up Rodney Taylor without his prosthetic legs. which is? fucked up! If you saw this and want to do something right now, well, here’s a petition to sign. I just signed it. let’s get loud abt this www.change.org/p/demand-the...

Rodney Taylor still needs our help! He’s still locked in an ICE camp. He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs. He’s still facing deportation to Liberia. He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored. Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

really enjoyed the Toxic Avenger reboot!

Unfortunately, the FT did this "analysis" with ... ChatGPT. They don't note this in the article. They do admit it in an FT podcast! www.ft.com/content/9232...

At ACM Hypertext 2025, Sarah Abowitz (@lepidopterane.bsky.social) describes her observation & user studies for translation & aids for students learning Greek. Cognitive load of opening aids less preferred to opening in same window: hoverables do not overwhelm or disrupt the reading plan #ACMHT2025

Today, @olivia.science and her colleagues speak about their efforts to resist the uncritical adoption of AI in academia. Read all about it in today's blog, and see their open letter below: openletter.earth/open-letter-... www.civicsoftechnology.org/blog/no-ai-g...

Being at an AI conference as a skeptic is a lot like going to a church for someone else’s faith. A lot of friendly people talking about something that has changed their world, and you keep looking around for signs you just can’t see.

this (what the dept. Of education is doing) is ableist!

I agree with all of this so much. disco and lower decks were nice shows where i looked at the different characters and they reminded me of me and my friends and my gf (emily if u r reading this u r SO tilly coded)

Hi everyone, My work has announced a partnership & significant funding from a certain world government that could lead to strife with my employer around my transness. I will not say more publicly. I am proactively seeking full time employment and supplemental financial support. 🧵1/4

Let’s not forget that the Wall Street Journal literally fabricated a claim that the shooter was trans and leftist. When in reality, the shooter appears further right then Charlie Kirk. Corporate media proudly remains complicit in the rise of fascism in America.

posters joking about charlie kirk were held to a higher standard than the wall street journal this week

With students heading back to the classroom, a group of cognitive scientists and AI researchers has published one of the most forceful and evidence-backed calls yet to reject the "uncritical adoption of AI" in academia:

The people whipping up panics about "academic freedom" rarely speak up when academic freedom is actually imperiled. This is absolutely chilling.

“In the past, they killed and expelled us,” a tribe leader said. Now, “they make us invisible.” TikTok is investing in a $10 billion data center in Brazil. An Indigenous group who says the project is being built on their land is trying to stop it, claiming they were not consulted on the project

Consistently, student journalists do the best work holding their institutions accountable.

Finite Jest

This is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever read and people who talk like this need to go touch grass. LLM tools only have real case uses in very limited areas when the people using them are actual experts in their fields and can check it carefully for its bullshit. So, not students.

they put more songs into mayhem when i wasnt looking 🤦🏻‍♀️

Massholes say no

happy labor day

Central Coast Farm workers wish you a happy #LaborDay Campesinos de la Costa Central les desean un feliz Día del Trabajo. #WeFeedYou #SoyEsencial

Happy Labor Day to all who are not in management. (I'm somewhere in that photo below.) madison.com/news/state-r...

what if there was an anime about girls who play bridge

last #balatro speedrun practice of the summer live now at twitch.tv/lepidopterane

just rolled credits for good on hypnospace outlaw. it will continue to have a special place in my heart, not only because of how good its specific story is, or how i think every cs major should play this, but it’s a gamified version of hypertext that is special to me

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

now this is hype-rtext lol (this is actually rlly cool)

war of the worlds (2025) is the lacroix of war of the worlds movies. someone left this screenplay on a shelf next to a copy of the hg wells book for a full five minutes.

👇🎯 The only punctuation more human than the em dash is the Oxford comma

No really, these people are in an actual cult

This important cuz they gon come for our HBCUs next

back at it with another #balatro speedrunning practice stream that's now live @ twitch.tv/lepidopterane .

Bell is set up at FanEx Toronto with a Booth that generates AI photos of people. Feel free to call up bell to cancel your services if you wanna prove a point about how much that shit sucks

the nascent internet's most exciting thing was the possibility of a single repository of total human knowledge, for me to look up whenever I want. AI is an abomination because it will show you something you've never seen before, and you think you know more about the world, but you only know a lie

Hi everyone I also think this is fun but just FYI this is likely just a pretty good AI-generated video based on an identical photo that’s been around for years

btw no stream this week - i'm visiting with family but will be back the following friday

Slightly diminish a band: 99.9 gecs

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

what a lovely day for #balatro speedrunning practice NOW over @ twitch.tv/lepidopterane

Okay so I have missed a few days due to hellish bargaining prep, but I am back to say everything in our factsheet remains accurate, including this damning fact about Tufts forcing more and more work on its faculty. Download and share the whole factsheet: drive.google.com/file/d/1R7lb...
