Bucknell University coach Mark Kulbis is responsible for killing someoneʻs son. And itʻs taken two years.
College Football Coach Charged In Freshman’s 2024 Hazing Death: ‘An Extraordinary Tragedy’
The charges stem from the July 2024 death of 18-year-old Calvin “CJ” Dickey Jr.
sports.yahoo.com
This is horrific, a preventable death of a student with sickle-cell trait: “The facts show this was an intentional, deliberate hazing perpetrated by a coach who knew C.J.’s health condition made him vulnerable to extreme workouts,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in a statement.”
The ‘we told you so’s are less about Being Right than hoping to be listened to next time & reaffirming that ourselves that we were being gaslit & should continue trusting our judgment. But being right? Every time we’re right about this stuff our lives get worse. Nobody would sign up for that deal.

This would be a great OER project if it doesn't already exist.
Is there an open resource African American History textbook for adults?
Today has been heartbreaking and full of troubling news that only confirms my heart, purpose, and community 🙏🏾📿🕯️
I cannot wait for new features to drop here for so many reasons but this eventual discussion is one of them.
Talking about how folks shouldn’t be in white spaces, while having a white person in your bedroom every night is bizarre btw.
If you’re arguing with white people every fucking day I am muting you and if you’re still doing it when I remember to unmute you im blocking you. I don’t care anymore. It gets to a point. Fuck them, friend.
Hey y’all, we’re asking for features you 🫵🏽 would want to see on Blacksky! Please take a look, vote on requests made by Blacksky’s community and put in your own requests.
Happy Saturday! For all Blacksky community members People’s Assembly is a great place to submit feature requests. Not everything will be available but we will try! Thanks to those who have been submitting! I’m always checking! — it’s always open: assembly.blacksky.community/8bbfunvvau
When someone follows me, there's a button that asks: Follow back? How about I'm just notified? The question belongs to a pattern of social media that I don't think we are following here. We already know how to connect 🤷🏾♀️ Blacksky, what do you think of getting rid of the Follow Back button?
Let's say you had a magic wand and was able to add either a FEATURE to blacksky or use an app/service targeted specifically for blacksky.app PDS members. What would it be? No request is too audacious.
Y'all want a forever Dustbowl? Well removing wild herd animals is how we got the first one, and not listening to Natives about this was why the first one lasted so damn long

I don't think a lot of folks realize how much money is being spent to make you feel hopeless. That's not something that's just happening of it's own accord. Monied interests are ruining themselves to make us believe progress can't happen. But progress is inevitable. It always has been.
This is what more water in the atmosphere feels like 🤷🏾♀️ *stares at climate change deniers*

We cannot fight systems that harm Black children while defending harm inside our own homes. Stop hitting Black children.
This. To restore the honor and dignity of Black people across the globe, we begin with the honor and dignity of Black children everywhere. You don't hit people you honor.

I really enjoyed getting a deeper dive into the discussions, the noise, and the steps the mods took in response to all that anti-Blackness (and more) last month.
Hey everyone! I’m starting a monthly blog about trends in moderation from Blacksky’s Trust and Safety team called: “What’s Happening on My Feed?” The first post: “Putting the Trust back in Trust and Safety” is out now, check it out: whatshappeningonmyfeed.leaflet.pub/3mpont6fedc2z
My thanks to all countries that supported the response, in line with the International Health Regulations: 🇦🇷, 🇨🇻, 🇨🇱, 🇳🇱, 🇿🇦, 🇬🇧. Muchas gracias to 🇪🇸, for showing incredible solidarity in supporting the safe disembarkation and repatriation of passengers and crew in Tenerife.
The #hantavirus outbreak is over. However, @who.int will continue working with governments and partners to advance our understanding of the cause of this outbreak and of hantavirus more generally.
