This is not a southern problem. Up north, incarcerated people make janitorial supplies like brooms, mops, & office supplies. Out west, they can meat and produce canned foods, work factory farms, and fight wildfires. In the flyover states, our children sit in desks and ride in buses made by prisoners

Seriously, everything I read these days that emanates from the American south is utterly outrageous.

“Texas Tech’s censorship policy does not just affect the humanities. According to the AAUP lawsuit, medical students at the campus in El Paso are no longer permitted to learn about racial disparities in medical care or how to treat underserved populations.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“They invoked academic freedom and then began erasing fields of study they found politically inconvenient. They railed against ‘indoctrination,’ and then argued that the state is entitled to control everything said in the classroom.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

The state now controls what professors can teach.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Happy Coming Out Day. Especially to folks finding the strength to do so in this hellscape of a world. 🏳️‍🌈 Same to everyone who stays “in” for safety, not being ready to be out, or just not wanting to do so. 🏳️‍🌈

We live in a surveillance state which spends an order of magnitude more on policing than any other country, how is the most powerful people in the country still feel unprotected? Why do you think that it?

We don’t have any privacy protections which matter, we don’t have any limit on the resources we’ll spend on giving guys guns on behalf of the state. And yet, the people making the decisions are more afraid than ever?

@officialpax.bsky.social I really hope you do the right thing here. Some of us need your con for business opportunities, but that doesn’t mean you should treat the marginalized like we aren’t integral to your ecosystem. Our money spends just as well and our needs are just as valid.

I'm disappointed I won't be attending PAXU solely because I won't get to see my people in person (masked up!), but aside from that, I genuinely don't want to support PAX as an organization ever again. The amount of disservice and harm that they've done to safe spaces geared towards BIPOC people-

COVID wasn't enough. The racism that PAX has perpetuated/profited off of wasn't enough. The ableism shown through their organization structure wasn't enough. The blatant abuse of POC wasn't enough. We really have not learned.

We should not be standing idly by while this shit continues to taint our communities, the ones that swore protection and safety to those very groups. Y'all just don't listen - and no, this doesn't apply to the people that unfortunately HAVE to go for income. I feel like this is 2020 all over again.

and the Disabled community is something that we cannot allow to happen in our spaces anymore. Taking away accessibility, mistreating and exploiting POC for their time/energy/labor, clearly having an inherent bias towards who is at the forefront of the cons and who isn't- Miss me with that.

You cannot leave prison without a documented place to stay, a job or rehabilitation program lined up, and someone to come and pick you up. There was one woman we met who was there for 2 EXTRA years at the state prison cause she had no living family and simply couldnt get a ride

"Because of Idaho’s overcrowded prison population, some women can’t access the programming that commissioners expect them to complete before they’re released... Those women remain incarcerated longer, delaying access for other women"

“why don’t we protest like they do in France?” Says everyone that stayed inside in 2020.

I am begging you, fellow marginalised people, get rid of the cop in your head telling you that your victimhood can only be acknowledged by denying the victimhood of others. Nothing that has happened to any of us is so unique that we cannot find kinship, rather than competition, with each other.

lmao that's actually so funny?? It's just an app that makes you immediately stupid, incredible

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

YO! Someone bought me the Hellraiser game! We might do a sinner Sunday stream to start it and discuss if I get enough work done tomorrow.

OpenAI said on Friday that it fired three safety researchers for a “breach of trust,” defending the dismissals after the trio accused the company of putting its corporate interests before safety as the reason for removing them.

APA should be ashamed of themselves. And this is why so many of us Black people in mental health and academia are finding ourselves un- / under-employed. They used to hire us for these things. Now these organizations are demanding we ignore reality if they invite us at all. Exhausting

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

Who wants to gift me the Hellraiser game on steam so that I can play and also rate the BDSM portrayal on stream? (Also probably talk about the hist of BDSM, DSM diagnosis and current mental health practices?)
