TW: IPV, murder of a trans woman. The last I read, every trans person murdered in the US this year has been Black. Every. Single. One. None of us will ever be safe until Black trans women are free to mind their business and live out their years as they see fit.

There is some shit that I’m just starting to be able to maybe articulate as not effective. It’s taken years of me being in & around it. And also maybe i’m totally wrong because i see people i genuinely like doing it. Very smart people. People much smarter than I am.

Getting laid off is really starting to sink in and bum me out today — Friday was my first day of being unemployed, but I had previously taken that day off, lol — so to make myself feel better, I and my wife donated to the layoff fund. It's at 84%... help out if you can!

I believe everyone has the capacity to un/learn & change but people need to be willing to do that. Sometimes it is a FT endeavor. My years of grad school made me a better critical thinker & helped me further unlearn racial capitalism although that’s not what many would expect. & I’m not done.

I’m for the family farm, the family restaurant, the family corner store but the “I’m running for elected office bc name recognition is a winning strategy & politics runs in my family” is a big turn off for me It’s unearned incumbency in a society w underfunded civics ed & corporate $ in politics

Some people in Maine are taking that “everyone run for something” too seriously — especially those who actually live in Florida

I sometimes think about what it would be like if i lived in a community that masked, tested, and cleaned the air so i wouldn’t be having panic attacks in masks — or when i was, could take my mask off. Or even had friends who understood what this was like.

As a strong supporter of UBI & a poor person without an income, I think there are other ways to make your point. Also, mutual aid networks are possibilities. We can be expansive in our thinking.

Does anyone have guidance on evaluating qualitative research where AI was used? For instance, have researchers compiled a list of LLMs & evaluated them against more traditional ways of doing qual esp in checking for racial bias? (not sure if I’m asking the right questions in the right ways TBH)

This weekend when a few of my neighbors & I had an impromptu chat — part of talking abt supporting the families w 4-10 year olds was talking abt supporting the house of white guys in their late 20’s (ish) who idle their cars, speed, swear loudly outside & fight w their girlfriends. not an either/or

Long ago i did home protests (which i’m going to group with heckling) and i won’t say heckling isn’t a good tactic but how does it feed into larger strategies of forming healthy communities which include (everyone else’s favorite topic) healthy boys and men?

This is a tech equity issue. I always refer (nonprofits to NTENs) tech equity guide which is great and it looks like they updated this year.

This is a good article abt the potential links between immune activation & mental health. There are many reasons to not get COVID — & get COVID repeatedly. Lowering your chance & other people’s chances of brain fog, irritability & depression might be among them. Also, don’t count on more research

IDK, you don’t have to go to law school to know that you don’t rent a bunch of cops, give them a list of names, and tell them to abduct students Also, you aren’t the cop This should not be a “career” pathway It’s totally unjustifiable under all circumstances

Real question: are protections still in place re: job classification (including in the nonprofit sector) or is everything just a $25/hour un benefited contract now?

I'm listening to this, slowly, and reading Theory of Water, slowly, and I can't just quote the entirety of both despite that being how essential they are so will just very strongly suggest others do as well. this is the thinking that helps find us a way through what we're in, right here

I keep opening my mouth as if I am going to say something and then all that comes out is a small amount of air, a sigh. Why can’t white cis men be more like this.

Usually, as a home cook, I wish my apartment had a dishwasher but today I actually realized how much time over the years washing dishes has given me to listen to podcasts & music, to reflect, and to slow down. Things can shift. What was a burden can become a wanted practice. We can grow.

IDK, maybe always seeking to punish people isn’t making for a sustainable society If people aren’t given non-carceral job pathways and then are being thrown in cages for survival crimes or just being poor — seems like a setup to me also being an artist or an intellectual? non-starter in the US now
