"AAVE is flagged as inappropriate" by LLMs designed to detect student cheating... which enforces steeper educational penalties on black students.

intentional or not, as it currenty exists, AI IS WHITE SUPREMACIST SOFTWARE and damaging to the safety of black people.

The pledge they had to read aloud:

“We trade dopamine for daylight, doom scrolls for detours, pixels for paper maps. Here’s to boredom, to wrong turns, to fruitful friction. To shared growth, spontaneous encounters, and Life beyond the screen.”

A group of us ditched our smartphones for a month. It changed us.
The fliers that appeared in our D.C. neighborhoods about the challenge offered few details beyond a toll-free number.

And I *cannot* wait to read this, with essays by some of my favourite writers: @hystericalblkns.bsky.social; Lucy Lippard; and Rosanna McLaughlin (who’s also one of our graduates).

And look at that gorgeous die-cut cover
A white hardback book stands on a grey table. Its dust jacket has small die-cut holes in it, as if it’s been attacked with a hole-punch. Near the top-left, in simple sans-serif type, is the name ‘Howardena’.

It perfectly encapsulates the notion of city that conservatives fear most: too much happening, people unlike me doing things I don't understand, everyone else seeming fine with it, mass non-conformity. It's beautiful.

Toni Morrison's "Jazz" as epic first sentence, first paragraph, and first page...

Alt-text
Sth, I know that woman. She used to live with a flock of birds on Lenox Avenue. Know her husband, too. He fell for an eighteen-year-old girl with one of those deepdown, spooky loves that made him so sad and happy he shot her just to keep the feeling going. When the woman, her name is Violet, went to the funeral to see the girl and to cut her dead face they threw her to the floor and out of the church. She ran, then, through all that snow, and when she got back to her apartment she took the birds from their cages and set them out the windows to freeze or fly, including the parrot that said, "I love you."
