I give through the Zakat Foundation, who I learned about from Sami Zayn. Giving can feel so futile in a world governed by evil men, but that makes it more imperative to do what we can.

Far-right Christian nationalist Michigan state Rep. Josh Schriver has released an album. This track opens with the line: "I just took some pre-workout. I guess that means that I should lift." It then somehow gets worse. Trust us when we say that you are unprepared for when he goes a cappella.

I loved this @nytimes.com piece by @margaretrenkl.bsky.social on the public value of the humanities.
As she says, NEH funds a host of state-led initiatives: museums, book festivals, historic sites, and more.
Because the humanities foster community and conversation, we need them now more than ever.

Surely there's an "inspiring" and "ennobling" way to teach about the Tulsa massacre, the murder of Emmett Till, the Trail of Tears, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Japanese Internment, etc. Shouldn't be hard.

Read this book! It changes the game in the historiography of Civil War memory! Go @hngreen.bsky.social!
My author's copies arrived on the day where an EO was passed about telling the full American experience as indoctrination. As the product of AfAm porches, I will be loud, proud, and continue to speak their truth as well as my own to power even in this political environment.

There’s a scene in the post nuclear war film The Day After where Steve Guttenberg runs outside to bring a girl back into a shelter after she has a nervous breakdown from being trapped there too long. He tells her that she can’t see the fallout, but it is all around them, and it will kill her…
Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

Hi all this is my friend & former neighbor Miss Christine Robinson. She is 70 and has been displaced by the fires. She is living with family. I cannot describe to you her kindness when we lived in Altadena. She brought us sweet potato pies every Christmas; I brought her my jams.
