everyone replying to this post needs to log the fuck off and touch grass. Machine learning was a part of T&S for decades before you ever heard the term "generative AI". If you've ever complained about "all the bots on Bluesky, they should do something", the "something" you're asking for is ML.

Under colonial occupation there’s no such thing as a ceasefire. The only thing that comes close to it is a temporary pause of systematic death & destruction or a relocation of this violence as we’re seeing in the West Bank. Colonial violence only ends with the end of colonialism.

“What does it mean to translate words about war when war shapes your daily life?”

I want people to understand this. For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence. This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

NCMEC is tracks the distribution of CSAM — child sex abuse material— online. On Twitter. On Reddit. On dating sites. On adult. I’ve had my issues with them but that the GOP would defund the work if they refuse to comply with Trump’s transphobic erasure orders is shocking and appalling.

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

The things that he said are horrible. But if saying them is a reason to slink off into the shrubbery, what about this guy's boss? Elon Musk has said many stunningly racist, transphobic, antisemitic, misogynist (and super-stupid) things.

An outing.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad is only 25 and was about to finish his degree in accounting when the war started. His university was destroyed. He recently returned home to the North but found his home destroyed. He’s trying to help his entire family ❤️

I will also say: this role also is a fit for someone with serious video game narrative design chops. If you have experience working on branching narrative or deeply immersive video game narratives that is a huge plus.

i think i understand this poem in a totally different light now.

There are no borders, only wind. —Cameron Awkward-Rich

"Speaking out for Palestinian rights and criticizing Israel’s genocide is protected First Amendment activity," explains Radhika Sainath, a Senior Staff Attorney with Palestine Legal. "Students should not feel that they need to stop just because there’s this executive order."

Sharing this essay I published in 2019 on caring for trans youth as an ethical practice since there is a global crackdown on trans care. I wrote this essay to also reflect on my experience transitioning as a teen, since I truly think it made my life better. philpapers.org/archive/MARG...

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

the more dire things get in this world, the more poetry becomes a need

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."

Thinking of Frank O'Hara's "Biotherm (For Bill Berkson)" and how poetry resists the dominant culture/s by riffing off its absurdity while also drawing historical language and idioms into present context. Queering the 'saying' of things; the 'making public' of conversations, quotation, etc.

“You try living with that inside your skin, the crackles that can never leave, knowing that no matter how far you go, that lightning lingers against your bones.”🦴🔥❤️⚡️
