'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
i started this train of thought as a joke but now i do think there's something to the idea that the way to sell the green revolution to the US public is that we're being denied Good Deals on cheap chinese cars and solar panels and there's nothing more unamerican than saying we can't have a good deal
Why are they destroying the books?
AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain
AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.
Leiracal@leiracal.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2w agoThe use of extremely online memetic aesthetics to support far-right political goals is like something out of Walter Benjamin’s nightmares.
blue state electeds need to understand that THIS IS WHAT CONSERVATIVES ACTUALLY BELIEVE take them seriously and start taking your own control over armed agents of the state seriously.

It’s one of the true pleasures of the job - historians get to skip the whole “this isn’t the time” commentary and have at it. Graham was a plague on the Senate, a chickenhawk, and one of the most accomplished hypocrites in this country’s recent history.

One initiative Dems or DSA or whomever needs to get on board with, just like expanding the court -- fund IT for state and local gov/orgs. Decouple local governments from Facebook. Democracy needs less FB, not more. We can build missiles or websites it seems. Let's revive the dead internet

memory@damagedamages.bsky.social · 4w ago"the state is feminized" is doing things to my brain. first, bringing up the term "nanny state" that has been bandied about by conservatives my whole life. a term which....also devalues women's labor?
I don't take any "Left" political candidates seriously who don't have an actual Public Libraries platform developed. There is no "Left" project in the U.S. that doesn't take public libraries seriously which means FUNDING them.
One of the findings in my research is that there is never enough evidence to satisfy people who want to offer a perpetrator impunity. They can always dream up a new way to blame the victim—and ignore all the other damning, relevant evidence by cherry picking some small detail that shouldn’t matter.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 4w agoTrying to pick apart a woman's text messages to prove she's lying about being raped is gutter behavior. Consent can be revoked at any time and reading insinuations into text messages that the sender denies were there is ACTUAL journalistic malpractice. I would not trust a man who does this!

The last day has been extremely eye-opening for myself and my fellow women in progressive media spaces—to see a line of somewhat influential men in our orbit fall all over themselves to justify their misogyny to god and whoever else (and to see some women fall in lockstep with them) is enraging
