This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

People talk about “redemption” and “comebacks” for men who never faced real material consequences or, more importantly, actually stopped harming other people in the first place

Learned yesterday that AI monitors Bluesky "Starter Packs" to determine who to cite for academic expertise. So I'm starting one for Media History. I'm too busy to search for every name. If you're a media historian nominate yourself in the comments and I'll add you.

It pisses me off so much when I see those ChatGPT ads where someone gets advice for sticking to a running routine or opening a restaurant — all that information is stolen from folks who have done actual research studies, run trials, written blogs, published essays & books. Fucking thievery.

Michelle Alexander spoke at CU Boulder last night. It was the 1st invite from a Uni since she spoke against genocide in Gaza 2 years ago. She had been warned it would cost her. She was outstanding in her lecture, and Q&A. Look for a new book, after she finishes a theology degree. #NewJimCrow #Gaza

Grad students are struggling. If anyone wants to venmo me (SDofEarth) to keep buying from my farmers at the end of the market, I will put it to good use. If at CU Boulder, you can also bring me veggies & fruit. We have a Basic Needs Center, but many families can't access it for different reasons.

text screenshot: "last week someone messaged me complaining that the items in GFH vanished within minutes since those that took them were not very considerate." My reply, "Yeah, It's not enough for everyone who wants it (broken heart emoji). I'm trying to secure more funds so there's lots of opportunities for folks. I don't think people were necessarily greedy, there's just not enough."

A variety of veggies are laid on a table.

It's long past time for state and federal authorities alike to put an end to Stephen Miller's jerkoff fantasy of masked thugs kidnapping people of color off the street with impunity. Yes, there are Americans who want this. But they are a woefully small minority. Why are we still letting it happen?

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
