Just thinking about Ida B Wells being described in 1894 by the New York Times as a “slanderous and nasty-minded mulatress” because of her commitment to covering the social, economic and political reality of lynchings

Agreed. She truly should just be charged with trespassing and sent to a mental home as a part of her sentence while she sees the help she needs. If anything, how did she get through the schools radar of being a sub? The parent should be demanding to know how this even happened.

Right! There's a larger, but connected, infrastructure issue to be addressed. I hope she gets resourced. That bipolar mania is a wrecking ball at best.

They told me not to do the work to track down this workflow in the codebase, but to ask the large language model instead, because they're running out of time and didn't do a proper knowledge transfer with the team, so I did both, because I know how this scene ends.

I immediately knew that substitute teacher who went to her high school to insult them kids was experiencing bipolar mania. She probably suffered bullying when she attended as a student, but they're going to cage her instead of giving her help because this system loves to sicken people more.

I'm going to turn the Black dignity essays into liturgies and put them on a forthcoming project. I have been told my voice is magical, so this should be a fun project. Need to find someone to provide the right score to it, though. Hm. Stay tuned.

Assume that Black people are dignitaries, worthy of honor and reverence, and move accordingly. Start with the young people, including your inner child who is still carrying a lot of the dishonor and dehumanization the world metes out to our Black kids. And honer them. And honor them. And honor them.

The restoration of the dignity and honor of Black people across the globe starts with our children and our disabled people. It's a game of arbitrage—looking to where the mainstream unlooks to shore up our strength in numbers at every opportunity. Assume everyone's dignity, and move accordingly.

Yes he will win the long game! How's his math aptitude looking? That can also go a long way with his development, and I have some resources I can send your way for that. He's in good hands with this plan!

Play the long game. The over-use of large language model generators deskills those around you. Scoop those skills right on up so that when it's time to move, it's checkmate every time.

I have an essay drafted from the Sinners press run era about whatever was happening spiritually around Wunmi Mosaku's presence. Every. Single. Time. she was in the spotlight, the people around her were captivated, and they didn't know what was happening to them. It was beyond magical.

Macron has consistently shown contempt for democracy, refusing even to appoint a left-leaning gov after 2024 elex. Today, kids demanding investment in better futures are schooling adults in democratic agency. His gov responds with manipulation, intimidation & violence - a lesson in abuse of power.

"the protests began in working-class suburbs with large racialised populations..." This means they're Black. The only way people are "racialised" in this dispensation of power is by being Black.

An important point: the protests began in working-class suburbs with large racialised populations, including Saint-Denis, north of Paris. This historic burial place of French kings now has a Black mayor, Bally Bagayoko, from the left-wing party LFI. White supremacy also underpins police brutality.
