As we head into National Truth and Reconciliation Day (Orange Shirt Day), try to resist the urge to say "listen to Indigenous voices," and try instead, "listen to Indigenous peoples." Notice how the shift in one word changes the entire tone?

I sometime - often - think about the time MonteCristo told me that even tho Trump was elected that the guard rails would stop any harm from occurring. This is something a lot of centrist ppl in my life said - there will be real material harm before anything can be repaired.

For people asking why the reversal to a more reasonable position, as the public health professional alludes to in the video, it’s because of ongoing legal challenges to the rollbacks under rfk jr. Medical groups have been suing: www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/h...

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

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
X.com
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.

There is a clear increase in companies going mask off and use blatant racist and misogynistic violence in their marketing. This increase comes in tandem with a real world increase in lynchings of Black people, sexual assaults in ICE camps and genocide. I'm tired. We need real accountability.

For folks trying to act like these getting pulled is enough or that it wasn't a high level decision, wake up. These companies are playing in our faces because they know people will extend credit & benefit of doubt. But like the Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle eugenics dog whistle, it's on purpose.

This industry has an insidious tendency to platform BIPOC (often, Black) people (often, Femmes/trans folk) and then rip the rug out from under them. It’s a NOTICABLE pattern and it SUCKS that only other BIPOC folk are talking about it. BIPOC folk deserve better. And I NEED white folks to speak up.
