So this is fun or horrifying. If you wear META's smartglasses, there's a significant chance that META subcontractors will be able to see everything you do through your glasses, and I mean everything. That thing you do, that you hope no one knows you do, yeah META knows about that now.

I see what Timothee Chalamet’s comments are doing to interest in ballet and opera in a time where NEA grants have been slashed by this administration…thriving arts are a form of resistance

Uh, @thehill.com, why did you just post this piece of right-wing propaganda about the Freedom Trucks that STOLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM AMERICAN LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS? thehill.com/opinion/educ...

Friendly reminder that if you’re reading US history and it makes you feel patriotic, you’re actually reading propaganda

They can try all they want to strike fear in our hearts but there is no denying our Latinidad is a superpower

I wrote my first Substack! I’ll begin posting my weekly Latine releases over there next week, but here are last week’s releases a little late and more about Bien Leidos book club… substack.com/@tomesandtex...

Good thread.

I *really* appreciate how @tomesandtextiles.bsky.social responded when she learned the viral "Moms for Liberty won none of their (contested) elections!" was misinformation. This was classy and helpful for those who also spread that without any verification. www.instagram.com/p/DQxSrAhkXEw/
