Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.

In the era of segregation, Black actors and filmmakers made their own movies for their own audiences. On Sunday, the Somerville Theatre is screening one of the rare surviving examples. A reminder that art flourishes in even the most adverse conditions: www.wbur.org/news/2025/01...

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Do not retweet, repost, or link to the lies that the President told connecting the airline tragedy to diversity initiatives. I will say it until I lose my voice, spreading lies and misinformation for any reason, even to debunk it or resist it, mostly spreads it.

My colleagues at @npr.org have a really great searchable table of Trump's first week of Executive Orders, and what precisely they do/call for. Really useful! www.npr.org/2025/01/28/n...

dear friends: gentle reminder that things are moving quickly and just because you haven’t seen something reported on yet doesn’t mean it’s the result of suppression or that an outlet “doesn’t care” about the issues. reporting — especially good, thorough reporting — takes time.
