You may have noticed that while the vibes in San Francisco are fucked beyond all belief, Oakland is still good and chill. We dispatched @redford.bsky.social to make sense of it. www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/the-great-vi...

The great vibes divergence
Why does San Francisco feel so weird during this tech boom while Oakland is more or less still Oakland?

I will never tell you everything is fine and you will always be safe or to ignore the very real threats trans people and our families face. But in a time of immense danger, panic is all the more dangerous. i think a lot about the Toni Morrison quote "we cannot be optimistic, but we can be clear."

Our fundraising account is at $3.17. Over 90% of LGBTQ groups are losing funding this year during the US’ trans genocide. 1/2 of all unhoused trans people in the US are in CA, and most of the local trans folks reaching out to us for help don’t have a place to live. /1

This is gravitational lensing. Where the a bunch of galaxies are so, so massive they distort the fabric of spacetime itself, and bend the light from background galaxies billions of lightyears more distant.
From the source: "A massive galaxy cluster, made of many golden elliptical galaxies with the largest, brightest one in the centre. Heavily distorted orange galaxies appear all around the cluster, the largest concentrated in a large arc around the cluster's centre; these are images of very distant galaxies, created by gravitational lensing. A few galaxies are large and bluish-white in colour; bright, nearby stars are the same colour."

Damn. With the alt text:
The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture': 
[Section highlighted]
whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship.
[End highlight]
When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.
