The sunny side of this delusion is the computer gives you a flying car and makes it so you don't have to work. The blackpill one is that it wipes us out via some cinematic method TBD. Two futures you don't actually have to live in. Both are abdications, and embarrassingly childish on their face.

One of the biggest systemic problems in American politics is that most of its most powerful decision makers grew up and benefitted from Jim Crow, while those on the right vying to replace them have not personally experienced Jim Crow but yearn for it bsky.app/profile/alex...

Chuck Grassley, the Senior U.S. Senator from Iowa, was nine days away from being old enough to legally drink alcohol the day Ruby Bridges was born

The primary example I’ve seen thrown around is the “Dixie Stampede” diner at Dollywood that she literally renamed once she learned that the reference was offensive: www.snopes.com/fact-check/d... Folks can say that it took her too long, but like… Southern culture and slavery are inextricably linked

As someone who grew up in the rural South, those references didn’t faze me until I went to college and learned more about the history behind them. I wore Confederate flag clothes growing up, out of ignorance. So did other Black kids in my town. It was trendy/common and we weren’t taught any better

Yeah it’s really unfortunate how well the maneuver has worked historically. Programmers like to imagine we can create “pure technology” spaces where politics aren’t allowed, but in fact it means we create places where politics are present but can never be named.

I agree with 1-3. 4 - contingent on this only applying to default algorithms, not opt-in ones like the feeds here. 5 is utter batshit. We have existing methods to deanonymize users, the most robust of which require effort that should only be undertaken if a crime is actually committed. 6 is fine

I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.

Dolores Huerta😢 Painful truths about civil rights: 1) The most successful civil rights movements in US history were led by Black and brown women 2) But Black and brown men received the lion share of credit for the movements that women lead 3) Some of the men leaders, preyed on the women leaders

Shine. Not because it’s beautiful. Not because anyone’s watching. Shine because refusing to disappear is the only rebellion left. The world is bizarre. So be the strangest thing in it. Fight though the shame to your own light, And shine.

And until Blacksky’s native app is released, you can use blacksky.community in PWA mode. This adds it to your home screen and displays the site like a normal app. On iOS Safari, you can do it by opening the Share options and selecting “Add to Home Screen”.

I’m finding that feeds load a lot faster than the native Bluesky app. I also prefer the color scheme 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’d recommend doing this before logging in; the PWA version uses a new session, so you’d have to log in twice.

The people of Gaza are not numbers. They are children with dreams, mothers with strength, fathers with hope, families with love. Reducing them to statistics erases their humanity. Every life stolen is a universe destroyed.
