Sometimes I wonder about how the White folks process still having their jobs. I've been reading a lot about McCarthyism, which has my brain primed to think about the people who stay once people politically repress their colleague out of a job.

Is this just cool, or will it help protect monarch butterflies? 🦋

This man challenged the world to create a tracker light enough to safely live on the backs of these iconic pollinators, which seemed impossible at the time, but became a reality thanks to teamwork and community scientists…

People sometimes give me disbelief or random solutions that don't work for computers hating me extra/giving me extra problems. It used to be more frequent but today I got another one. I took the job on the calendar based website. It still showed I took the job when I arrived to the job. The PIC

Today I had the rare opportunity to interview Bae Franklin, a Veteran currently on the flotilla as it nears Gaza. Corporate media has barely covered these courageous voices. It is critical you hear directly from these heroes risking their lives to end the genocide

I think that new wave people had a lot of politics in common with punks. Am I wrong? Am I right? Anyone the kind of nerd something that knows about that?

Lonnie G. Bunch III is the head of the Smithsonian. The first Black person to helm the institution and the founding director of the Blacksonian.

And his legacy will be completely overshadowed by his compliance with this authoritarian bullshit which should go against his ethical code as a curator.
Save hard copies of books. What LLMs don't erase from the internet, fascists will erase from public life. Nothing digital or temporary (like a museum exhibit) is safe. Keep hard copies of history. Slavery. The Holocaust. Civil rights. Everything.
Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American history museum
A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Getting stoned in New York has been fun. It wasn't like that for me here before it was decriminalized.
It makes the sound of all the people more pleasant.

A second time a man on his last legs tried to get my attention on their way out in a way that was never going to work.
They become ghosts and their communication is better. At least it was the first time, now I'm not sure and I thought I didn't feel bad about it.
But, I do.
