Celebrating Blacktober with the Blerdtober prompt list. Day one was vintage so I drew Tessa as Hedda Gabler in one of my fave movies of the year (directed by Nia DaCosta) using Crayolas and micron pens. I considered drawing her in the blue dress from Sylvie’s Love but aimed for a harder pose.

Afro Latina Black woman in a blueish-grayish dress with a high belt and deep plunging neckline. She has a bulky pearl choker, longer-looser necklace with a key, and tan, golden gloves.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

"James Talarico has to say anti-trans things in order for him to win" is so utterly divorced from basic reality. It didn't help Colin Allred win when he did the same thing in 2024 and, based on polling, it hasn't resulted in Talarico increasing his polling numbers whatsoever.

This difference is especially stark at a time when the national media has zeroed in on a tiny group of LGBTQ people over interpersonal conflict versus a group of young men who have also been publicly identified over the alleged crime of gang rape

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

A book map for Heavy Are The Years showing the cover (made by Riotbones) that reads: Three illustrated stories in one volume!

An archeological crew discovers an ancient city but the gods who were once worshiped there have turned... strange.

The eternity of a 50-year time loop, and using it to adopt the world's angriest cat, again and again.

Love and grief across generations as a young mother fights death itself to be reunited with her baby, recruiting the help of strange and familiar spirits.

Now live on kickstarter!

I feel like this parable applies to so many safety policies like vaccines. "A group of people are traveling together on a boat. When 1 passenger begins drilling a hole beneath his seat, the others cry out, 'What are you doing?' He responds, 'Why do you care? The hole is only under my seat.'"

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Repeating common Republican lies as if they are true is harmful. Examples: "No, I don't want Haitains eating cats and dogs." "No, I don't want Muslims to force American women to wear burqas." "No, I don't want a white genocide." "No, I don't want children to be taught to hate Christianity."

Social media accusing Primetime of being a movie in support of pedophilia is INSANE but not surprising Chris Hansen being a “pedo hunter” does NOT automatically make him a moral person. The movie is critical of this & his methods b/c they were VERIFIABLY hit or miss & against the LAW at worst
