right-wingers will often say that America deserves credit for ending slavery rather than blame for having slavery. but then we made a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery and they still got mad, which should tell you what their real objection is.

And oddly enough it’s the intersectionality of race and class where it sucks the most Because Black excellence really sometimes is unaware of how they consistently insult the hoods the working class as past… As if it’s shameful now rather than just an origin point

Don’t use the words “good trouble” unless you have this kinda street cred. Don’t fix your fingers to type the words. Don’t fix your mouth to say the words. You haven’t earned those words and you probably never will.

OK i’ve seen almost no media outlet pick up on the fact the Supreme Court ruling endorsed conversion therapy and opens a portal to the normalization of conversion therapy nationally so here’s a thread explaining how they did so, and why you should care (1/x)

THIS THIS THIS!!!! Foundations and BB/CC creams with SPF in them are NOT ENOUGH. Use a separate layer of SPF. Your skin will thank you. And if you are reading this, you need to wear SPF everyday. Yes, you 🫵🏽 too.

This seems very likely to be analogous to what gets called social media addiction, I think. Because the interfaces of many of these tools mimic social interfaces, and people are getting not only that initial functionality, but also what feels like interaction or social reward at the same time.

Happy #Juneteenth! This is your loud reminder that the only policy that completely closes the racial wealth gap is REPARATIONS! According to Drs. Sandy Darity and Kristen Mullen, giving every Black American a direct payment of $267,000 closes the racial wealth gap. #econsky #blacksky

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

These people really have absolutely no idea what a university is like, do they? Or the actual lived experiences of students. They’ve conjured up some weird fantasy of a university that simply does not exist.

any politician or journalist who argues that universities should be full of dangerous and offensive ideas ought to be asked to share the most shocking idea they encountered at university so we understand exactly how sheltered their childhood was

I danced with someone, he was able to follow and he didn’t act like we were a couple afterwards. Another gentleman bought me a drink, told me I was pretty and I never saw him again. I found my old Atlanta!!!Happy Juneteenth!

Republicans are attempting to ram through a provision to sell millions in acres in CA, including land around Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe & Big Sur, as part of their big ugly bill. Our federal public treasures shouldn't be sold off to the highest bidder. I will fight this, tooth & nail.

Had a funny chat with someone about triple checking my data. I'm writing a policy brief and doing a final round of checking that all the data is accurate (I collected some new stuff) and they assumed that my student would do that for me. Lol I don't have a student. It's all me homie.

We can disagree about a lot of things but there is a such thing as objective truth. And one thing will stay adamant about is not argue with fools that have convinced themselves up is down. I get that makes bigots angry but I will continue to dismiss people disrespectfully for trying me.
