This reminds me of Bruce Sterling's advice: "Don’t become a well-rounded person. Well-rounded people are smooth and dull. Become a thoroughly spiky person. Grow spikes from every angle. Stick in their throats like a pufferfish."

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

If you don’t have ideas you are not paying attention to the world around you. You’re not reading enough. And fixing that problem is easy. Subscribe to good newsletters, browse the books at your public library. Do a tarot card spread! That’s a favourite

I know SEO is beating all our asses, but if you have to do the “If You Like Sinners…” thing there are Black vampire movies, Black Southern Gothic films, etc. If you don’t have the range I will throw you suggestions, but can y’all please stop leading people to the whitest movies?

"woke" meant "being aware of injustice & inequality... individuals who are attentive to social issues, particularly race & discrimination" so... a group of people turned "being aware of injustice & inequality" into an insult I think often on what this says about so many ppl in this country

This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule. Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

Trump’s executive order is a major step backward for civil rights in America. Let’s break it down: it eliminates a key protection called “disparate impact,” which has been used for decades to fight discrimination in schools, housing, and other areas.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.
