Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

Also, if it wasn’t clear, this isn’t some sappy “just hang on” kitten clawing for the last scraps of its life on an office motivational poster post, this is a direct rebuke of Democratic elected officials who think a strongly worded statement is the extent of their power. Fuck you, go do something.

I’ve taught 20 yrs of students Constitutional rights like due process & equal protection. Now, I’d be lying to them to say these laws, literally written into our Constitution, are followed. These basic rights prohibit shipping people off with no due process. All Americans should be outraged.

what they said ⬇️
Tumblr post: generative AI literally makes me feel like a boomer. people start talking about how it can be good to help you brainstorm ideas and i’m like oh you’re letting a computer do the hard work and thinking for you???

Tumblr reply: There are many difficult things that were replaced with technology, and it wasn't a bad thing. Washing machine replaces washing clothes by hand. Nothing wrong with that. Spinning wheel replaces drop spindle. Nothing wrong with that. Generative AI replaces thinking. The ability to think for yourself will always be important. People that want to control and oppress you want to limit your ability to think for yourself as much as possible, but continuing to practice it allows you to resist them.

I find it so egregious that Pinterest uses imagery on its site to train GenAi models. Imagery they do not own, and for the most part, is uploaded by third party users without the consent of creators. GenAi industries depend on exploitation to function and it’s gross futurism.com/pinterest-da...

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

The one time I am 99.99% sure I encountered cop agent provocateurs, it was at the Floyd uprisings and it was a couple strangely normie looking white women who told us we needed to change direction to save folks from arrest at a different location, then left us straight into a police trap.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I’ve never once been afraid of or harmed or felt threatened by a trans person (or any other LGBTQIA+ person for that matter). I have however been intimidated, belittled by, afraid of, and assaulted by white men. That’s right, men, plural. Women’s rights are not threatened by LGBTQIA+ people.

When Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵
A screenshot of a social media post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) dated March 4, 2025, at 4:30 AM. The post states:

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Just because your personal freedoms are being threatened for the first time, doesn’t mean that this is the first time personal freedoms have been threatened. Behaving in this manner undermines relationships with individuals & groups that have been living with this palpable fear for generations.
