On MLK Day 2021, his family posted this picture of him. Seeing him in color reminded me that our history is not that far behind us. Seeing him at home with his kids broke me.
Exasperated, I mumbled what would become the opening line to the spoken word piece, "Fathers"

Him talking about convict leasing and how capitalism is used to exploit.
He mentions how whatever racist laws they use towards Black people, they extend to the non-Black population, which is what Black people been saying to years

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Too many people see pirating as a form of protest. And it's not. At all. Boycotting is a form of protest. If I ran up in Target and started stealing things, that's not sending a message about Target's practices.
Stop making up reasons why pirating comics is good. It’s not good. Spend a few dollars and buy a book. Quit being a fuckin parasite

I'm thankful for all the technologists, FOIA officers, parks workers, public health researchers, criminal investigators, and countless other civil servants who have kept diligently doing their jobs under extreme duress. This year has been bad but it could have been so, so much worse.

I want to see the return of Black romantic comedies that dominated the early 2000s (minus the misogyny, homophobia, Tyler Perry struggle and fatphobia). I‘d pay to see a Ryan Coogler or Stella Meghie romcom with an all-Black ensemble.

So instead of funding actual programs that teach kids how to do things and give them opportunities, we should steal from artists and call it "accessibility"?
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

Noah Schnapp (plays Will Beyers) is a Zionist, racist, and genocide supporter.
He’s made horrible comments and been allowed to keep his job whilst they fired Susan Surandon and Melissa Berrara for speaking up for Palestine.

Books aren't expensive.
Writers are at the bottom of a large column of people making money off books.
