I don’t be wanting to hear that “it was a different time.” Racism and sexism were wrong THEN too, stupid bitch. And your Meemaw and Papaw can still get these hands they DESERVE. FUCK EM.

This is also to say… if you cooking for 20 people there should be an expectation of contributing to the event You need to bring something of substance that compliments the event

I dont speak to my grandfather because he hates Latino people while living in a neighborhood in Dallas that Black people werent even ALLOWED IN when they first moved in there. The white folks in Desoto threw a FIT. It’s a lack of human empathy & blood dont stop it.

I showed up in tachycardia to my cardiology followup. What a great way to bring up the subject of my experience of certain cardiac symptoms. I had a cardiac ablation in my 20s b/c of Wolff-Parkinson White & a family history of atrial fibrillation and I’m only getting older so far.

Hey remember when all those teachers were screaming BLOODY GOD DAMN MURDER about the indoctrination in their schools and emphasizing it wasn’t Q But racism ? Welp tally ho yall

I would never, EVER call police. Under any circumstances. Too dangerous.

Thats why I dont pay attention to them folks talking about “we gotta work together.” No you want me and others who look like me to shut the fuck up about our pain in exchange for pseudo allyship to return you to the quiet status quo. Eat shit.

I love when a fine man is pan

You decided to have a Kiki with that white lady who promised to shepherd our work and didn’t want to protect IP congrats now no one is protected . Oh you magically didn’t archive any of those DEI Websites or files because you trusted that known sex pest Welp it’s all a 404 now

Oh, they suffered and will continue to: they’re living with “long Covid” and don’t even know how it’s affecting their 🧠 much less physicality. News media is just ignoring it. They’ll suffer even more when the next panny hits b/c their immune systems are already weak—entire population is weaker now.

Just had a lovely chat with Gogo Khayela - sorting this Saturday's convo dreaming into future discussions Both of us feel very clear that understanding our inalienable interdependence is a huge part of the task in negotiating the crises upon us and dreaming is an essential piece of that work

Is anybody else who was involved in protest/ organizing or mutual aid in 2014-2022 Just fucking exhausted from everyone being shocked and then memory holing why a lot of the protections that non Black reporters and others didn’t defend aren’t here now ? It’s the racism Jan

Music student apparently unaware that if any Canadian govt would FURTHER decimate higher ed in the country than it already has, especially for majors like music, it would be the conservatives. Shooting yourself in the foot.

Academic Success in the streets Financial Failure in the spreadsheets

There are parts of Texas where speaking Spanish is BANNED. It’s what prompted me to teach myself all these years. But fascism doesnt count and doesnt matter to white people unless it is done to them

Fuck em up, Big Pritz

Y’all didn’t consider why the ribs were never ready but they knew the function started at 2??? They was getting you off them ribs … a burger sides and two beers you kinda straight

Oh no, a reason to watch the craft again

There’s a reason white Americans ONLY reference the Holocaust and Nazi Germany in times like this. They DGAF that Black people lived under APARTHEID in this country til the 70s. That LGBTQ people were being systemically killed in the 80s and 90s. That those fights PERSIST TODAY.

Anyone read this ? Looks so lovely

Now Blue No Matter folks want us to stop talking about genocide in Palestine because we need to stop Trump. Sound familiar?

Those who worked-from-home during COVID should expect a return to fully remote work by 🎄🎅🏽 2026. Post-Covid, I have purposely keep in touch with a dozen or so Public Health / Infectious Disease professionals: ALL are confident the next [more] brutal pandemic is imminent. Please prepare accordingly.

That’s why nobody trusts white people. They think everything is an overreaction because they dont care about what happens to anyone that isnt them.

This is my sense too.

Fwiw this morning i have been incredibly jealous of how pretty airyn de niro is and i am trying to unpack that.

Reading a 2022 interview w/ Musk where he notes he values history b/c he doesn’t want to repeat mistakes of the past? And I guess if that’s true we have vastly different definitions of what “mistakes” must mean. Like do you see eugenics as a mistake, b/c I do. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-wa...

What’s making this book trip more exciting is knowing some of the authors directly follow me so I get to fulfill a lifelong dream of sharing my reactions directly To those who made a book 😭🥹no one gets how much that means to me like my inner child screaming rn LOL

I don’t do ebooks with few special occasions and exceptions. Sorry, I am hardcore no ebooks. I read and retain better with physical books.

Any day now we can have a discussion on online research and how much of it’s questionable moments now started because the social media research was focused on Black people

I refuse to be lectured by theorists whose committee et to principles is governed by someone’s star power

New this week from the MIT Press 📚👇

Staying out of GenAI discourse for now. Part of me can't believe that academics think the tech is actually useful for what we do. I listened to a mentor when ChatGPT first debuted, gave it the old college try, and frankly, it sucked. A friend said "use it for emails and rec letters" and WTF, y'all.

THEY JUST GOT IT SHIPPED IN TODAY AHHH. Literally their only copy 😭

Canada could do the coolest thing ever right now (throw open their southern border and/or grant me an asylum)

Some have responded w/ a version of "why are you elevating this story when non-citizens have it much worse?" This story shows, in a concrete & visceral way, that citizenship is not a shield from state lawlessness in a mass deportation regime. That realization can turn ppl against such policies.

I think this is extremely powerful framing. We are breaking people and we are all susceptible.

Great to see "Platinum Bible of the Public Toilet" by Cui Zi’en in this list of recommended Chinese short story collections!

With the International Meeting for Autism Research #INSAR2025 starting tomorrow, & autistic people making it clear that they don’t like being ignored on autism issues, why are autistics still having to fight for recognition and validity at autism conferences? thinkingautismguide.com/2019/05/dear...

I pray we raise this $50,000. Trump’s attacks on nonprofits has everyone folding

In a society that can produce so many profoundly evil people I am so grateful that I have been lucky enough not to be one. I'm just grateful. I'm grateful for my friends and my family and the people that I attract and the brain and heart that I inherited.

Joan Robinson pointed out that the economist’s production function (where Q the output is a function of labor and capital), lacks a satisfactory understanding of the units in which capital can be measured. [1/4]

Fellow college administrator: "This sounds like a great project! I really hope you can pull it off." Me: "Oh, I will. I don't fail, when it comes to protecting my people. I will shut this whole place down, over this." Him: "Oh. Okay, well have fun!" 🤣😂

544 days sober. I have a talk on May 1—“navigating a culture of addiction”—that I can share a Zoom link for. I’ll keep everyone posted.

Feels like it’s been a while since we’ve fawned over our Big Beautiful Blue Boy so here is some fanservice.

I love that grill so much😭

Why? Please be specific as to why YOU would prefer this 3-year-old grow up to become a doctor, lawyer, scientist, or economist and NOT a dancer? Or not a doctor and a dancer? Please be as specific as you can and resist the defensive (cowardly) urge to block me out of panic. Thanks!

What would happen if one day we just believed what we saw happening to targets instead of waiting for the monsters to declare themselves monsters ( I mean in terms of care and public safe guard , the journalism is whatever )
