"'Love’ is such an active word loses its depth in English. The Igbo word for love, “Ifunanya”, means “I see you”. I. See. You. What do you see when you look at fellow humans? What do we do with a structure of knowledge that cannot see many of the bodies, spaces, and times it governs?"
#Newblogpost In this essay that [very randomly] uses a soap as a lens, I ask the following questions: What should it mean to love a country? How can you love a country if you cannot love another person? What type of love makes people put their bodies on the gears?

4/4...users who grew up in the smart device and internet-of-things era.

So, yeah. Windows is a balls sandwich with extra pube seasoning. But unfortunately, it's an easy replacement. So if you want to shout "move to Linux", back it up with some actual info. Otherwise you're hurting the movement.

3/4 Linux is awesome, but it's also a step back to what are functionally prehistoric times for a lot of modern users on top of the work related issues. It's more like computing was when I was a kid in the '80s and '90s, a lot more DIY and situational awareness. And that's another hurdle for new...

2/4And I say this as someone who made the switch (moving from OS X Mavericks to Ubuntu) in the past, and then was forced by work and school stuff to switch to Windows because there were no reliable workarounds for what I needed to do. And that situation hasn't changed much since moving on from GIS.

THIS. So much the world's workflows and apps are Windows based. There's no "easy switch". There isn't even an easy switch to Apple's macOS for a lot of things. Moving into the Linux environment isn't a casual decision, and yeah, casually tossing out "switch to Linux" isn't a helpful statement. 1/4
Yes windows is shit. Yes I'm a LINUX guy.

So with that in mind:

DO NOT FUCKING SUGGEST PEOPE MOVE TO LINUX WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR WORK REQUIREMENTS AND NOT FUCKING OFFERING A CORPORATE/PROFESSIONAL SOLUTION FOR THEIR WORK RELATED REQUIREMENTS.

Another way to refer to my past work around #YourSlipIsShowing without misgendering me is to index the hashtag not (just) as Black women's work, but as Black feminists' work.

Proper accreditation & gendering in one go, you're welcome.

He's a known and active collaborator with those in power. This isn't surprising.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

We can't have ICE driving to elementary schools and following school buses! That is horrific! Barbaric! Abusive!

We're back to stationing police officers in elementary schools and on school buses! That way they can beat and arrest Black children without even having to drive over from the station!

Now listen! Here's what we're going to do! We're going to decrease ICE funding, and increase police funding! We can't have any ICE abuse, but we need more police abuse!

And I don't want any of you ungrateful Black men that have had guns pointed in your face for no reason to complain about it!🤡

🥳🎉Yay! We won Minnesota! ICE is out! Somali people will no longer be stopped by ICE for being Somali! Now they're back to being stopped by cops for being Black!

5 year olds will no longer be detained for being immigrants like Liam Ramos! We're back to detaining 4 year olds after shooting their dad!

I really hope students don’t lose the opportunity to do stuff like this as AI creep in the classroom gets worse and worse. It’s been on my mind a lot.
