For @npquarterly.bsky.social, I wrote about the challenges of organizing at a feminist nonprofit that, in practice, avoids our political realities.

I'd appreciate if you read + engage:
We Stood Up: Organizing at a Feminist Nonprofit - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
When it comes to the workplace, many nonprofits fall far short of their political ideals. At my feminist nonprofit, we stood up to demand change.

An internet hoax or the GOVERNMENT directives...?
It boggles my mind that parents in these situations are not charged with negligence and child endangerment at the minimum.

Your child dying from a preventable disease because you fell for an internet hoax should have consequences. That is a life lost.

An experience a few years ago made me realize having some working relationship with the US govt likely meant preferential treatment when seeking refugee status. So my first thought was that he had some type of relationship with the US military.

I shared billing with Jimmy Cliff on a few occasions. Even though he was older than me, his shows were so energetic. One night in the green room, I asked him how old he was. His only response was “I’m the living.” RIP.

I finally watched this. The data and the tech are horrifying. @drtanksley.bsky.social’s research and pedagogy, however, are incredible — themselves a reminder of how GREAT great scholarship is. Just so, so good. Truly, everyone pls watch this — to learn about the bad and to be reminded of the good.

#ITeachMath #EduSky I urge all educators to watch @drtanksley.bsky.social describe multiple studies that show LLMs and other machine learning are antiBlack, increase the achievement gap in math, and target Black students. Chilling. Do not uncritically allow these technologies around our children.

Rejon Taylor was one of 37 people on federal death row whose death sentence was commuted by then-President Biden. This year, he learned the Trump administration was sending him to a supermax prison once called a “clean version of hell.”

Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

And ppl will follow u for years and know what u been saying but basically say "well I can't affirm what ur saying is true until it's confirmed by a more verifiable source"
Meanwhile the source is grok.
I loathe the way empiricism conditions everyone to default to confirmation bias as a interpersonal compliance. Only being allowed to affirm "proof" when said proof is manufactured by a piece of the problem.
