*Also cries in devaluation* 😭😭😭

I read this article, you should read it too. Highlights: "devaluation—defined as the experience of feeling excluded, disrespected, mistreated, or held to different standards—was the most distinctly gendered topic in our sample (38% of women vs. 16% of men reported experiencing devaluation)"

A big part of how this works is a bunch of soft racists acting as if Black people being subject to racism is some extraordinary thing that rarely happens rather than a routine part of life. So they can act as if these are all individual cases totally unconnected to the last Black person they accused

I have railed against book requirements in the hums many times—but I do think it’s true that one can *do* things in the space of a book one cannot do in shorter-form pieces. Things that are not inherently better or worse but which serve different purposes in different contexts (as Asheesh says).

There are some books you need to be a certain stage of your life before reading. I believe one of those books, for me, is Morrison's Beloved.

I think this explanation makes the most sense regarding Danny Trejo working for the Daily Wire: they hid that from him.

Danny Trejo had never heard of Ben Shapiro before signing on for Daily Wire's Pawn Shop, says his sun. It's f-d up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project.

For anyone seeing this shit with my dad. He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace"
He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy. About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, Including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved. My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is. My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to. It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts. Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.

The person who posted it has been informed it’s AI and is still basking in their likes. Meanwhile, a quick look at the women’s faces will tell you it isn’t real. 🫩

🚨That is an AI generated image. The original image, which was also AI generated, was first making the rounds on Instagram back in June. This image been rerun through AI so many times it’s surprising they all don’t have three heads and plaid skin.

A generated image of the Obama family all wearing various shades of cream or white clothing sitting on a bench with a plant in the background. With a “See Libra” watermark. It’s exactly the same as the image in the quoted post but with less light effects and a different background.

Internet image search results showing multiple versions of the image in the original post of the Obama family in the same pose with different clothing and backgrounds.

Remembering a time when an academic solicited a conference abstract from me, out of the blue. After I sent the abstract he was like, actually, no thanks!

Just found out a car driver hit a delivery worker in our neighborhood and sped off.

I yelled at her. "You ran a red light for that? You're still there! Was it work it?" We have to bring back public shaming.

And the thing was that they turned right on red (illegal in nyc) to sit in traffic!!! Didn't save them any time. They just did it because they could even though it's dangerous.

The first driver ran the red light. Then seeing that there was no consequences, the second driver also ran the red light.

This morning not one, but two cars drove through a red light and crosswalk while I was walking with my kid to school. They are embolden by each other.

The felt tip markers bleed a lot. Not use to them so it's hard to get clean lines.

The subtlety allows them be shielded by ignorance. To keep their hands clean because *they didn't know.*

"What feels subtle to others is glaringly apparent to Black women — it is our daily reality. Be intelligent but not too assertive. Be resilient but never tired. Be stylish, composed, and above all, non-threatening."

This is why I curse out drivers who almost hitt me and my kids when we're in the crosswalk. They behave with impunity. They think their 2 ton death machine is a god granted right. Well it's not!

Yeah, that is exactly why I didn't mention it was a class thing.
