Grumpy Black crone who likes to think and explore (and seek mindfulness, within reason). In pfp: a hedgehog with a kente kufi on its head, and red laser eyes. Not chill. “Coward American” — an opp. The aging, unsociable 🦔 rescue watches over me now. 🪽
I want to meet this man and hi-five him! He’s hitting on something I that rarely gets addressed. It’s absolutely wonderful to love animals, but if you treat other humans who can’t do anything for you poorly then… You ARE a bad person.

Bicycles! Bicycles have gotten insanely better in the last 40 years, light weight materials, fashionable designs, so many form factors, so many avenues for fun and fitness while also varying levels of affordability and accessibility for all physical abilities. I love bikes (fuck cars tho 😅)

Thank you for this resource! I may grow some greens this fall.

“No single figure proves the case on its own. But category after category, the products and services that rely most on immigrant labor are the ones pulling away from the rest of the economy. That’s a cost with a cause, not a coincidence,” the report says.”
“America’s Voice analyzed 12 months of federal price data ending in June and found costs are rising fastest for foods whose production relies heavily on immigrant labor.” www.cnbc.com/2026/08/05/t...

Honestly, I’m starting to see it as a extension of literacy. They got to a place of complacency where they felt like they no longer had to be literate in the modern world and it’s warped their world view.
Temu Tisha Campbell@thatgirlbamz.bsky.social · 4h agoIts hard to explain to older gens (especially boomers) why we dont have homes, new cars or feel safe about retirement. You have to hand hold them and force prices in their face to make it click. Even then they tend To believe we arent working hard Enough.

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.
Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.

This will make fascinating long-term neuroscience research. I can already hypothesize on a cellular level what’s happening, but those still in the field: get on it, please!

this is what the city of Detroit thinks accessible is: a door being held open by construction material. this is a hot take worth talking about. www.detroitdisabilitypower.org/pollaudits
yesterday I made a thread about how my friend who has cerebral palsy, walked with her service dog to her polling location to find out it's changed & how both locations are technically inaccesible. today I made a thread about how Detroit voted. these things are related. it's bigger than 'hmmmm.'

Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with a mineral called coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.

Maybe it’s also studying neurodegeneration and mechanisms of cellular death in my terminal degree (while TAing neuroanatomy in a morgue) but my view of death is a mix of morbid interest in its mechanisms, some detachment, and a hope that it’s over quickly.

Thickest novi eboraci ®@worldwidewoman.blacksky.app · 3h agoAm I the only person who doesn’t care about my mortality? I feel like it’s the most unnecessary thing to think about. You gon die. It’s not a question 😭😭 Like it WILL happen. The same way you living right now, death WILL be part of your story. I do but also I don’t understand the fear of it all
the things about being an adult i dislike aren't "adulting" so much as "pooring" "blacking and femaling under white supremacy" "struggling under capitalism" etc 😂
