This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

1. Read “Empire of AI” by @karenhao.bsky.social 2. Watch this talk between Karen and @timnitgebru.blacksky.app 3. Follow @dairinstitute.bsky.social, Karen and Timnit for a sober, critical analysis of the “AI” field.

People talk about “redemption” and “comebacks” for men who never faced real material consequences or, more importantly, actually stopped harming other people in the first place
Learned yesterday that AI monitors Bluesky "Starter Packs" to determine who to cite for academic expertise. So I'm starting one for Media History. I'm too busy to search for every name. If you're a media historian nominate yourself in the comments and I'll add you.
It pisses me off so much when I see those ChatGPT ads where someone gets advice for sticking to a running routine or opening a restaurant — all that information is stolen from folks who have done actual research studies, run trials, written blogs, published essays & books. Fucking thievery.
I said "hit dogs holler" and had to explain (their momma isn't from the south). Is there a more contemporary, universal phrase/proverb to use?
I need to dissociate long enough to graduate. Getting calls students need baby formula and more food than food bank has. Have so much pressure to make good on my project and defense. Lots of students crashing out and need what I can't afford-time. Fascism and more war straining our hearts. Phew.
Michelle Alexander spoke at CU Boulder last night. It was the 1st invite from a Uni since she spoke against genocide in Gaza 2 years ago. She had been warned it would cost her. She was outstanding in her lecture, and Q&A. Look for a new book, after she finishes a theology degree. #NewJimCrow #Gaza
It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo agoProtester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
Something is wrong with me. I am excited to attend my first HOA meeting.
Why do men shout/yell when they sneeze? It is so loud and startling 😵💫
www.bcap.org/free-hiv-tes... I sat across from my Uncle Mark, who was raised with us like a brother after my grandmother died in a fire, and I promised him I would always be careful. He died a few months later in 1996 from AIDS. Get tested, and if you are in Boulder, here is a free site.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 10mo agoThis World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.
Hey Boulder... Nobody is talking about it but my office on campus smells like smoke. Is there a fire on Flagstaff? There is nothing on @watchduty.org. Purple Air says campus AQI is 100, all around the rest of Boulder is 1-13.
The story behind Allessandra Korap + the Munduruku protesting at #cop30

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028
I know there's more imp things on here today, but anyone have folks/papers I could cite that support to this idea? "Hollywood and mainstream media’s narratives overwhelmingly focus on dystopian climate futures making interventions on what people think is possible more difficult."
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.
Unbelievable cruelty According to the federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits, there are more than enough funds to pay for the program in November But Trump refuses to do it Leaving the lives of 42 million Americans-16 million of them children-hanging by a thread
I cried twice today. Getting this message and then after I delivered the food. It was nearly gone after 7 folks took what they needed for the week so I know folks will be upset again that they didn't get any. #skobuffs #boulder
SarahDawn@sarahdawn.bsky.social · 11mo agoGrad students are struggling. If anyone wants to venmo me (SDofEarth) to keep buying from my farmers at the end of the market, I will put it to good use. If at CU Boulder, you can also bring me veggies & fruit. We have a Basic Needs Center, but many families can't access it for different reasons.

As an alumni of Syracuse University, it's appalling that they are capitulating against a right-wing campaign against Professor Farhana Sultana for exercising her first amendment rights. Do consider signing this letter calling on Syracuse University to reinstate her docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
