I missed y'all, too! I only read on that other place.

I’m sure they could concoct some story about how scary a 1st grader’s costume was that they “feared for [their] life.” That song is always sung, even if it’s about kids.

🎉 Season 6 of The Tech Humanist Show launches with @bariawilliams.bsky.social! Bärí shares her journey merging law and tech, creating Meta's supplier diversity program, and why her book "Seeing Yet Unseen: A Black Woman Crashes the Tech Fraternity" matters now more than ever.

She's filling her time since she's living that empty-nester single life. 50(seven) Cynt is living her best life spending her time how she wants. Must be nice! lol

It's interesting how all of these stories have a common thread, and the first one is just...

I felt there was some of that there. He also was giving me "colorblind society/race doesn't matter" vibes, which I'm not a fan of. That's negating a large part of people's origin story and making.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Yeah, and to co-opt his gift and take it for his own (and probably monetize it). He was going for the cultural appropriation gold. lol

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

For me, he gave Dangerous Minds/Finding Forrester/progressives who know what's best for you in the name of "integration" and "equity/equality." But that's another question for another day.

We were both like "what?!" and then "wow" at that one particular scene in the joint. It was masterful.

My mom would just look at the door when the doorbell would ring and someone didn't call first. Usually kept eating her snacks on the couch. Legit sit there, might get up and look through the peephole and sit back down, but definitely wasn't letting anyone in. 😂😂

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Well, I just got back from seeing Sinners with my almost 15 yr old son. That was a time! And I realize he grew again. Some more. 🫠

I remember he didn't win, J. Hud did, but I couldn't tell you who was the actual winner in his category. So, there's that.

And after that, he'd decimate all of the ethnic studies departments and ask the history dept. to change the curriculum.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Yes. But for conservatives. It's the equivalent of crying "reverse racism." I've never seen a group of people want to be victims so badly, but not want to actually have the experiences it requires. lol

There is a reason why Mark: 1. Eliminated DEI programs & fact checking 2. Changed offensive speech policy (w/ S. Miller approval) 3. Donated to inauguration fund and hosted a party 4. Bought a DC home 2 weeks ago 5. Made multiple pilgrimages to MAL Pay. To. Play. He wants the Eric Adams special.

Good on them! We need more of this. I also understand and recognize they come from a point of privilege with a ridiculously large endowment that they can say no. Other schools without that luxury need to band together and say no. Same with law firms. (Can't believe I have to type that last one.)

Paul Weiss, now Skadden. A dumpster fire. When lawyers are caving, it's the beginning of the end. Add JD Vance in charge of what's in the Smithsonian museums - carte blanche to erase history and culture... Where is an active opposition party?! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

The 10 that did not vote no are going to be hated for a different reason now, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if those folks were primaried. But no one's family deserves to be threatened.

Just like the first time, "What do you have to lose?" Everything.

Precisely this. She put a campaign on her back and raised a billion dollars in 3 months. She beat the drum loudly, and so di her surrogates. Let that lady rest. She doesn't owe anyone anything at the moment. She (and we) tried to tell folks, they didn't listen, and she's minding her business now.

110

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

No, her issue isn't not having a penis. You can't bifurcate her being a Black woman. There was a white woman who didn't win prior to her, so I was prepared for the result that we ended up with, because if WW won't support their own, I had no delusions they'd come out in mass for KDH.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Ami Berra, Moskowitz, the rest of them. We'll remember who vote for censure.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Well, are we ready to have the conversation that "working class" is a code word for "white people?" Because that is what people mean when they say it, as if Black and brown folks aren't working class that have different systemic issues that perpetuate it. But we can do that another day...

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

They're definitely going to cook those book, or just not report the numbers. You can't layoff/fire 100K+ federal employees, and then those peripherally connected (universities, small businesses that rely on the traffic, etc.) and that not cause a dent of some kind.

121

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

It makes perfect sense. However, unfortunately, I don't have the answer.

110

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Well, that's how the other folks ended up where they are. It started with the Tea Party and people hating Obama, the ACA, not wanting their taxes spent the way they thought they were allocated. It eventually morphed into MAGA, but they're lockstep and we're in disarray.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Ahhhh, yes. That was his argument about COVID reporting.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I hope you all start drafting people now to primary him when it comes time.

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Your "YES" vote is acquiescing to a fascist felon and his merry band of idiots. You're squandering the little bit of leverage you had. I hope someone primaries your sweats wearing ass.

Oh, just wait. The "reverse racism" claims will start soon enough. I'm waiting for them to find a way to make "Karen" a formal slur or epithet, too, so people cry about that.

Exactly. "Change your admissions policy to one that we like and has the disparate impact we want. Put those "ethnic departments/classes" into academic receivership and we'll tell you what you can teach."

Translation: "Change your admissions policy such that only white Americans can be admitted. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Ummm... do these people not know the definition of "immutable traits," or are they seeking to redefine it entirely? You can sell the car. I can't sell my skin. lol

I encouraged a former friend to acknowledge their child on social media, as they did their other kids, even though this one was born of an affair. Eventually, they did. Happy it changed. However, we later fell out, and it was easy for me to surmise if you ignore your kid, who am I? lol

Bärí A. Williams, Esq. @bariawilliams.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I find this interesting when there were still 53% of white women that voted for Trump. I don't know the age breakdown, but it would be interesting considering these women are being raised by these moms and grandmas who support him.

Really realizing that his sixth strategy for trying to attain world-historical hero status is by punishing perceived domestic enemies. His power flows crush his enemies, delivering satisfying retribution for his supporters.
