The library isn't your mommy or daddy. Nobody is forcing you to check out any books. Nobody is forcing you to read any books. If you don't like a book, don't read it. If you don't want your kids reading the book, grow up, be a parent, and choose a different book.

I have a better idea. Let’s take all of the wealth that they have and put it towards programs to subsidize American families and the horrors that they have had to experience from the Trump family greed. If we want to lower the national debt, tax billionaires and corporations appropriately

Would just like to point out that there are politicians that seem to think people in poverty can’t budget and that the wealthy are better at it…

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

As a person who lived in poverty and was on government assistance multiple times…this man is full of 💩. Poor people budget better than billionaires. We know the value of a dollar because we have so few of them. I’m SICK of demonization of the marginalized. WE ARE IN A CLASS WAR NOT A CULTURE WAR

Believe it or not, a lot of people do not have to-do lists. And the the lists many of them have are not structured for an ai agent to be helpful. This isn’t groundbreaking. If you have ever watched the evening news or read even a single story about people who aren’t like you, it is pretty basic

So I have a “colleague“ who is getting a PhD in learning technologies. Their PhD project is a chat bot that they made but this technology has already been used and available through a publisher. None of my students participated. It would’ve taken them over an hour and not worth the extra credit

We also looked at some FSA primary sources and this one really grabbed students' attention. It's a diagram that shows the arrangement of members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League as they would surround a man-hunter, concealing him until he consented to release the person he was trying to kidnap

This diagram, explained by a note written by Henry I. Bowditch, shows the arrangement of members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League as they would surround a man-hunter, concealing him until he consented to release the person he was attempting to kidnap. The League was a secret society founded in Boston in 1854 to resist the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The diagram, in pencil and watercolor on brown paper, places the slave hunter in the center (SH), surrounded by the speaker of the committee (S), a member to take hold of the hunter's head (C), two members to take hold of the arms (A1 and A2) and two for the feet (F1 and F2), and twelve additional members to form an outer circle to ward off intruders while the committee conveyed the victim to safety. Bowditch's note continues, "One plagued in this way would not invite others to come & run the same risk of annoyance."

Taught the Fugitive Slave Act for the first time in a few years. Man, my head was spinning as I uttered my familiar refrain about how the FSA radicalized Northerners who maybe never thought much about slavery until they saw people being snatched off the street right in front of them...

I’m only seeing people with ME or Long Covid sharing this. If you’re not affected, can you please read it & share? Ableist propaganda goes viral all the time, which encourages outlets to publish more of it. Can we please make the truth go viral instead?

Years ago, I remember someone writing a screed about someone Carly Simon befriended on an AOL board. She responded with one word, "Goodness." Some drunk stayed up all night to write a loooooong email about how horrible I was. I responded, "Goodness." It drove him crazy. Thank you, Carly Simon.

I had a really good session with my new therapist. One of the things I find particularly difficult with my autism is that it drives me insane when people in leadership positions act like angry teenagers… and give preferential treatment to their buddies. Why is it different for autists, tho?

The thing that really frustrates me about certain liberals is that they seem to think that politicians saying words is the same as fascist actions. I don’t recall the Democrats ever making anybody do anything or removing liberties. Yes, they may court some language, but they don’t do anything…

Muting morons ✌🏻 B*tching on the internet isn’t activism. Grow up and learn the difference between words and actual actions. The entire point is that if you think something harmless shouldn’t exist because you don’t like it…then that’s fascism. You missed the point. Get a better hobby.

This fool seems to think that people saying words is the same as actions. I’m apparently a bad scientist because I point out that the right wing actually enforces their views on everyone and clearly want this as opposed to the Dems who stay inactive in literally everything. Talk is cheap. Grow up
