MACRO-aggression

Beautiful work! #Juneteenth

My brain after the 8th time I’ve looked up the celsius-to-fahrenheit formula: “This is new information!”

“I was just doing what God told me,” Haith said. “I have somewhat of a marketing background, and I thought Juneteenth, what it represented, needed to have a symbol.” capitalbnews.org/juneteenth-f...

Happy Juneteenth!!! ☀️✊🏾❤️

School desks never stood a chance

In a time when unprecedented is used a little too much and hopelessness comes a little too quickly, take some time today to learn about the stories of the enslaved, how some fought back and won, and where push for democracy actually started. The fight is continuous. Always has been.

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

These moments are always a funny reminder that college sports are played by 18-23 year olds and the one thing you’re gonna do in that age range is something stupid in critical moments

Claims of “protecting kids” while doing the absolute opposite deserves 30-days of hellfire for each instance.

Alright, time to be responsible and watch the news.

😮‍💨 Excited. Not so excited about my plans to simplify my fandom by dialing back my Ravens love and turning up more for my Niners.

and plants respond well to simple care. if you have a problem killing plants then you don’t pay attention, you don’t follow directions, you aren’t curious about what it needs. you ignored or abandoned it. you put it in a bad spot.

you cut the dead stuff off a plant it starts standing taller. you cut the energy leeching leaves off, a growth spurt follows

plants have to do everything themselves and they know what it takes to survive with those environmental constraints

you learn a lot from plants. one thing is: sometimes there are leaves that won’t turn green. sometimes they were green but then they turn yellow. it’s because they took too much resources from the rest of the plant. they won’t die immediately and they’ll take a lot of energy. just cut it off.

"One of the most underreported aspects of life for Black undocumented migrants can be summed up in one statistic.... Black migrants make up 5.4% of the undocumented population in the U.S., they make up 20.3% of migrants facing removal based on criminal convictions."

Some of the Fundamental Assumptions that keep us focused and motivated: **A better world is possible. Collectively, humanity can do better than what we are seeing and feeling.**

FINALLY

One of the most fascinating epistemological realities of being multilingual is realising the sheer volume of things for which names exist in one culture and not in another, and that the instinct to name, count and order things in the world is actually not a universal instinct in all societies.

Few events are more disruptive to quality of life than an eviction. Moving beyond the status quo of eviction will require demands for data transparency, more deliberate and serious research to inform advocates, activists, and policymakers, and new questions. www.kiaspo.com/blog/moving-...

We call AI models like ChatGPT that people think are intelligent "stochastic parrots." They parrot things that they do not understand.

The 'struggle for existence' is not our deity. Happy Birthday, Pac!

We don't pose these questions to unleash negativity, but to focus on the fact that donors/funders, staff members, and other stakeholders playing a pivotal role in making an organization go—make daily choices to go 'all in' or 'mail it in' and require magnetism. How are you looping your folks in?
