🗃️ Time to rewrite immigration history with Native history in mind. The US was founded on the conquest, dispossession, removal, exploitation, or genocide of Native people. Denial of that fact generated counter-myths: empty land, waste land, Manifest Destiny—and the slogan “nation of immigrants.” 🧵1/7

My favorite video from 2025

in the streets, on a riot line, at a demo, wherever. we’re all the same to them. they’re blue & you’re the enemy. i’m not too proud to admit that i didn’t really understand that until the first time a cop hit me, a little blonde white woman. i watched a lot of other white women learn that in 2020.

So important, so well put

in the 60s, the klan killed white civil rights workers alongside their black comrades. when you join the struggle you lose your status in the system you’re fighting.

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it’s time to understand you aren’t. no one is. whiteness isn’t the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

This crow walk allows you to see the independent forward progress of body & head. To return to insects & reptiles: we think the saccade movements are also adding visual detail for animals with eyes on the side of their heads. And now you know why the chameleon does the 'herky-jerky'!

Maybe you've seen the "gyro-stabilized chicken"? During bobbing while walking, the head of the bird is 'still' while the body walks, then the head moves forward as the body is still. Muscles tied to balance response in the chicken brain make this an innate behavior, similar to our eye saccades.

Pigeons (& other birds) use HEAD BOBBING when walking to accomplish the same task. There's a very specific cycle: observe, move, observe, etc. & the pigeon brain (such as it is) is stitching these observations together into a detailed visual model. This specific pattern avoids 'motion blur'.

If you do see a traumatic video by accident, please make sure to immediately do something to help your brain, like TETRIS. (Yes, seriously.) TETRIS has been shown to help mitigate the mental effects of trauma because it intervenes in traumatic memory formation. www.psych.ox.ac.uk/news/tetris-...

But why does "Cloid" look like a racist 19th century doll with a black face and white circles for eyes. "The golliwog was created by cartoonist and author Florence Kate Upton…" alt-text: quoted post has photo of LG AI Home presentation area at a store or convention

22 years ago I stood in the Tate Britain in front of the painting “Carnation Lily, Lily Rose,” sobbing (in public!) because I was going through the only shot at IVF I would ever get and didn’t know if I’d ever have a baby. Today my daughter Lily texted me from in front of the same painting.

They do this on purpose. It's a trick.

Who was talking about imperial solidarity last week? “Joking about conquests” is surely a symptom

Something to at least try and brighten the day.

#OtD 10 Jan 1966 biracial voting rights activist Vernon Dahmer was firebombed by the KKK in Mississippi. While he managed to save his wife and child, he died from severe burns and smoke inhalation. He had been trying to help more Black people vote stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8196...

After a whole month, the guy finally got the bear out! Fish & Wildlife failed. A group called The Bear League flew in and did it in 10 min. The bear came back later that night, but the homeowner put an electrified mat near the basement entrance. Also, cat Blue growled from inside to keep him out.

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

Exactly. “George Washington and Benjamin Franklin are known to have greatly admired the concepts, principles and governmental practices of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy... confederation of the original Thirteen Colonies was explicitly modeled upon the Iroquois Confederacy "

No one can pretend this isn’t incredibly bleak, but we can take comfort in the fact that we have each other, we outnumber them, and we’re better than they are

Unskippable adds and YouTube's continuous battle against add blockers have made the site almost unusable.

There are absolutely zero useful, functional robots here. there is one that can "wave to people at a museum" and "talk to you" (in extremely narrow situations) and there are industrial ones I guess but there is no "robot revolution" and to report otherwise is misleading to the general public.

-7 degrees Fahrenheit in the Uintah Mountains of Utah. It was worth it. Met an elk, and a fox. Found what I came for.

The situations in Palestine and Sudan haven't stopped being horrible, just because the news cycle pivoted to Venezuela and Iran. The genocides and other atrocities are still happening, it's important to not lose sight of them...

Definitely a narcissist that one

Fanon is the opposite of this (he was close to Lacan in his psychiatric writing too), and that’s why he is one of the people that can guide our fight against this new iteration of fascism.

Delivering his first annual foreign policy speech, Pope Leo did not hold back in his criticism for the might-makes-right mentality of world leaders.
