I'm assuming everyone knows that this "new" idea of "meritocracy" is just: "white men have merit by definition, and everyone else doesn't," right?

Interesting. Who would have thought that the organizations people join to make sure they never get bullied again aren't willing to actually, you know, *do* things, and as soon as "putting yourself in danger" is the job, they don't want to do it.

Been needing to figure out some accessibility options to rest my eyes more but still read massive quantities of research papers... Does anybody use a tool capable of doing audio reads for a PDF that they like well enough? I can tolerate imperfect here if it helps enough

So now that white people en masse are realizing they too can be treated like Black folks, we’ll probably seem some real civic action that hasn’t happened in a long while. Because of white people fear anything, it’s being treated like Black folks.

This is an insulting attempt to gaslight the public into taking the corporate executive elites side in what is obviously a CLASS conflict. MEDIA hasn't been empathetic to him at all, PEOPLE have. Not because he's white, but because we AGREE with what he did. We UNDERSTAND where it came from.

@aaron.bsky.team liked a post from a pornbot on his work account and then banned the ATProto dev who caught him. This comes after BlueSky failed to take any action against a notorious bigot. This is chilling for anyone building BlueSky tools. "Moderation for me but not for thee."

It’s really something else that the only conservative playbook is 1. Find Black thing 2. Demonize Black thing 3. Win Because American white supremacy is deeply uncreative and built on a deep hatred for Black expressions of humanity And … Black academics can participate. As is the case here.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Men do not need to disguise themselves to assault women and women's restrooms. Men who want to assault women already do it and don't bother with such things. Harming trans women doesn't make cis women safer. And trans women are using public bathrooms everyday and you don't even notice.

heading off the takes: I think it’s weird to have a blanket rule against vigilante justice that doesn’t acknowledge how much vigilante justice is already effectively legal depending on the race of the victim, and how much the police already operate like a criminal syndicate

Really interesting discovery at the Newberry Library, where one of their Nahuatl-language manuscripts turns out to have been made using by far the largest known example of a pre-Columbian Mesoamerica paper technology known as maguey paper: www.newberry.org/news/analysi... #paperhistory

Manuscript is Most Extensive Example of Maguey Paper in Existence

A collection of sermons by sixteenth-century Franciscan missionary Bernardino de Sahagún is rare example from the Nahuas.

But who specifically wrote those sentencing guidelines? Do we know the individual person that wrote them? Who wrote those guidelines for local and state law cops telling them to go after Black drug users and give them long sentences? Who took sentencing discretion away from judges? You know who.
