Hey Bluesky give me some essay / theory reccomendations: I am looking to read about how the mechanism of framing a racially marginalised / colonised culture as “antiquated” / “past it’s prime” / “deceased” is a vehicle of erasure of living peoples and culture but not in the context of Orientalism

I tell teenagers at my library (where I work) to read this all the time because I know that even if they don’t fully vibe with it on the first go that they will come back to it again because it’s one of those books that will stick with you forever. Amazing achievement Keezy Young the GOAT‼️👇 Read It.

i think the writing has been on the wall for a few years that 1) we’re in a recession 2) none of these platforms will ever exist forever as their giant conglomerates try to shift strategies to make the line go up forever even though we are all broke af this has happened before and we will survive

anyway while I continue to shitpost I will bring up again my one and true royal family conspiracy theory that I unironically believe in: The queen died before her diamond jubilee and they falsified her death date to save face because the state invested so much into her jubilee celebrations

I often think as well when you write stories for kids, it's not just the kid you're drawing you're empathising with but also the child who's going to pick up the book at the end of the process. So like, when there's scenes where this imaginary kid is being given support or love and encouragement-

GO-MAN VS. THE STAR DRAGON is OUT NOW in the UK! Have you read it yet? What do you think? It should be available from all good comic and book stores, or order online from wherever you get your books.

My first paper is officially out in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! We found that snake embryos coil due to a mismatch in growth rates between the gut and spine. This tight coil is one of the reasons why snakes are able to get so long. Read the paper here!

This is an incredible thread about how companies used “IP hooks” to prevent consumers from being able to modify products they bought or to control their function.The VCR allowed people to create home libraries & fast forward through commercials without paying additional tolls. That’s now impossible.

finally finished reading “why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria” and learned a new truth: that my persistant counter of “i am skilled / worked hard” every time someone calls me talented is actually just a very asian mindset 💀

This comics by @deltahead.bsky.social is from 2019, but it is very worth sharing again: The Anti-Palestinian Propaganda You Don't Know You're Consuming It's a shame The Nib wasn't able to keep publishing, and a mercy it's all still online. thenib.com/depictions-o...

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

windowslatest.com

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.
