@eveewing.bsky.social's 'Original Sins' is a necessary piece on the origins of the American education system. When even Home Ec isn't just about food within a system that, at its core, is meant to control differing populations, where do we go from here?

'The Man in my Basement' by Walter Mosley is an excellent show of power not being just a physical state but a mental, psychological hold as we watch the main character bend to the will of a man who seemingly has no control at all.

Sad that I have a whole workday standing in between me and finishing 'Hole in the Sky' by @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social .

Sold.

In researching some fintech products, I found that some Buy Now Pay Later services allow you to BNPL guns and ammo.... What dystopian hellscape is this?

Did the nerdiest thing possible after a dr appt. Looked at my dr's site while taking notes & decided to update her resources page look w/a couple hours' time to show my appreciation. Screenshot of old - Set up I made her: nurture-well-center-resources.tiiny.site

Main heading β€œEducational Resources” introduces the section. The first item is a β€œPeri/menopause symptom tracker” available for download, featuring a visual preview of the tracker worksheet. Below, a series of webinar replay listings are presented as separate blocks, each featuring the date, webinar title (such as β€œDiscussing Hypnotherapy in Perimenopause and Menopause,” β€œPerimenopause 101,” β€œNutrition Myths,” and others), speaker namesβ€”sometimes shown with a portrait photo or small iconβ€”plus a concise summary sentence for each webinar’s focus. Most webinar entries include a bold β€œWatch Here” replay button; some require access passcodes shown beside the links. The webinar topics span perimenopause, menopause, nutrition, health equity, vibrational sound therapy, supplements, acupuncture, chronic pain, foot health, oral health, film screenings, cooking demos, and more. Visual content is integrated throughout, with speaker images, topical icons, or supplementary graphics associated with each event. The overall content layout is structured as a list of individual resource blocks for easy browsing and replay access.

When I need a pick me up, I watch this performance of Whitney Houston singing "All the Man that I Need". She had such a mastery of her instrument. In this performance, she makes all that power look so effortless. She didn't even make it to 50 but gave us so much.

I think people keep hearing these tech bros talk about just stealing artists' work and none of the practical applications, so I get it. People think AI is just "make myself in Studio Ghibli style" or "Watch Will Smith eat pasta" - they're not being presented real, useful use cases.

We need to understand the tools to dismantle the power, for sure. I'm very worried about BIPOC, particularly Black folks, being left behind in this.

I teach accessible tech to nonprofits to support their work, including some AI tools. Very frequently I'm met with skepticism and fear to end with "Wow, it doesn't seem so scary. This is useful". I've used it to find, sort, and build health resource databases, criminal justice reform databases, etc.

What lengths are you willing to go to to save humanity's future?

'The Final Orchard' by @cjriveraauthor.bsky.social is a mix of Hugh Howey (Silo) &
Kazuo Ishiguro (Never Let Go), with a few twists and an ending begging for a part 2

Feels like 2025 is my year to go back to a love of Vampires. First, 'Buffalo Hunter Hunter' by @sgj.bsky.social , Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' , and now 'Blood Slaves' by @markusredmond.bsky.social . What a year for horror!

Shame on any Black, Brown, or other BIPOC applying to be ICE officers. ICE is looking a lot like the Slave Patrol and I'm embarrassed seeing some of the faces taking part. I hope your families disown you. I hope your friends spite your name. How F'ing weak minded.

Tired of explaining why I don't want to argue about "empathizing with conservatives". Another day, more tears from people who refuse to see why I'm not wasting energy on people that aren't starting at a base level that I, too, am a person. F that noise. I'm preserving my wrinkle free peace #BlackSky

Went to a meet and greet after one of my favorite comedian's shows and smiled big for the camera only to notice afterwards that the humidity and lack of AC in the theater completely destroyed my hair 😭 Shrinkage is real y'all 😭😭 #BlackSky
