If you’ve ever apologized for your ambition, TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW!

Your dream isn't about anyone else's acceptance. If you decide to pursue anything it should be what you whole-heartedly choose. Your dream can't work if it's based on the approval…

People are going to talk about you no matter what you do.

So you might as well do whatever brings you joy and live your best life.

I had never heard of Harold Washington.

Excellent listen on @thisamericanlife.org : "This week, we bring you the story of Harold Washington, the greatest politician you've probably never heard of, and the backlash that ensued when he became Chicago's first Black mayor."

Picking on Black women who had to claw their way through NYC machine politics to get to their positions is just not going to work out for old white senile fascists. That's all I will say on that.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Can we get the word around for more donations to go to BlackSky so there’s funding for the infrastructure that can bring Link back?

From my understanding:

Relays are costly and expensive. Anyone feel free to chime in. Bluesky relays is what has him banned.

So much for catching up on work this weekend. That Covid vax knocked me out. Getting much needed rest, I guess. The work will get done…during work hours. 🤷🏽‍♀️

In a first coordinated African-led effort at the United Nations, leaders have declared the Transatlantic Slave Trade as “the greatest crime against humanity” and called for reparations.
