This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

There’s so much hatred for disabled people. People assume we’re faking. They assume we can “positive think” our way to better health. They assume we want to trample their rights to a “normal” existence. They vilify us because they’re terrified of becoming us.

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

"Be strong enough to be gentle." If you're wondering why so many people are mourning the death of a guy who voiced a transforming cartoon robot truck it's because Peter Cullen spent 40 years with a real philosophy behind the voice.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Everyone who says this about race science and eugenics specifically is outing themselves as stunningly ignorant. It's so hard to have even passing familiarity with biological and social science literature and not know the myriad was these ideas have been refuted that it almost has to be intentional.

If the root of "holiday" is "holy day," then today is a solemn one. It was 407 years ago today that a Dutch ship named "The White Lion," dropped off some "20 & odd Negroes" to be sold at Port Comfort, Virginia. One year before the Mayflower on August 20, 1619, beginning the parallel American saga

A historical marker documenting the arrival of Black people into English America:

FIRST AFRICANS IN VIRGINIA

The first documented Africans in Virginia arrived in 1619 when a Dutch warship landed here at Point Comfort. The "twenty and odd" Africans, captured from the Spanish, were traded to the Virginia colonists in exchange for foodstuffs. Early Africans who lived here included Antony and Isabell, and their son William, likely the first Black child in present-day Hampton. They served Point Comfort Commander William Tucker, but whether the early Africans were treated as indentured servants or slaves is uncertain. The institution of slavery evolved during the 17th century as the term of service for Africans was extended for life. The US abolished slavery in 1863.

My dad was a chiropractor. I always will find it morbidly funny that he died of an arterial dissection from adjusting a patient. Patient left happy with the adjustment, dad died 10 min later.
