"Strongmen" by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social is an invaluable read right now. The whole playbook we're seeing in the US is laid bare for all of us to see.
"On Tyranny" & "On Freedom" by @timothysnyder.bsky.social are also both must reads given the current moment.

This kind of surveillance can be used to single out people for questioning or arrest on minor or pretextual grounds, creating targets even when no real wrongdoing occurred. Please be careful.

Much of the organizing has already shifted underground for safety, but please be mindful of what you share publicly. Think of it like the old rule: the first rule of Fight Club is don’t talk about Fight Club.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

One of my professors was the designers of the Scarlet Spider.
When the video games offered that costume option, my professor was never informed, despite being owed royalties. He had to chase Marvel down.
He died the same year Scarlet Spider was in Spider-Verse. They had to crowdfund his funeral.

Crocodile Dance is set in Itesi: a surf town inspired by Lagos & Badagry. Fishermen ride the waves, neon signs flicker, & a goddess rises on the mountain.

That's the thing about anxiety and complex trauma, that maybe you don't understand (if you're lucky). We forget to look up and bump into a person. We get frozen, and someone who doesn't know what we have lived through decides we are deliberately being an asshole.
It costs nothing to be kind.

Iunno, trying to make yourself invisible sounds like the opposite of just standing in a place where people are trying to get by and not noticing what an asshole you're being.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Also better absorbing heavy rainfall that could cause floods - among other benefits...
Cities like Paris are showing that urban greening thru street & place transformation is just COMMON SENSE, for cooling cities that are getting hotter due to the #ClimateCrisis, and for reducing emissions, cleaning the air, and improving quality-of-life!
