Back to reading Black Reconstruction. But two things: 1.) Today is W.E.B. Du Bois's birthday! and 2.) Everyone should check out Zinn Education Project's valuable report about how the state fails to teach complex histories of Reconstruction: www.teachreconstructionreport.org

"The erosion of the firewall also has implications far beyond German borders. If Germany’s immunity to totalitarianism is lost, then it will be not just the EU’s largest country which has fallen, but the political and moral foundation of the EU itself." Crossing my fingers for a reasonable outcome.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

One of the coolest things about being alive in 2025 is knowing that my favorite soccer commentator is also among my favorite social commentators. Musa is a great example of someone who uses their platform for good in a way that I wish more people would.

Still writing on a regular basis. This time individually to say thanks for responding and keep going. Sometimes I borrow scripts from other orgs but if I write my own, it's usually just a few sentences. Now that there's a routine to it, it's much easier to bang out a few messages. democracy.io

“For all the big talk about putting an end to “social engineering,” the Great Resegregation is itself a radical attempt to socially engineer America to be poorer, whiter, less equal, and less democratic.”

acknowledging the history and existence of black people in america is not dei; it is not diversity; it is describing what is in front of you.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

If you would like to learn how to do this kind of writing, I will teach you. I will, if you have no money, do it for free. I will, if you have some money, invite you to my "writing coach" patreon. I will, if you have an institutional budget, charge a fair workshop rate. Lollardfish @ gmail.

I was gifted a new phone for Christmas and switching also requires shifting OS. I have made 3 attempts so far and in getting my most used apps to work, the process has led me to revert to my OG. Really makes me want to abandon mobile tech altogether. ☹️

those that evangelize genAI as a "powerful tool" for their little tasks without consideration of its disastrous impact on the information/knowledge ecology are shortsighted, to say the least

Lots of thoughts on this turn that I will keep to myself for now. The bullies on the world stage are currently gloating, putting more people in danger than ever.
