President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also aligning himself with those who are brandishing the term DEI as a catchall for discrimination against white people, and using it as a pejorative to attack nonwhite and female leaders as unqualified for their positions.
As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces
President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also equating diversity with incompetence.

You know that I’ve been working to assemble my list of trusted media sources. Perhaps Wired is one.
Digital subscriptions are currently $5/year. Come on.
None of the big papers, for all their resources, has been covering the (incredibly stupid and vile) chaos that Musk and his strike-force of libertarian Beavises nearly as well as Wired. It's an extremely cheap subscription (and a very good print product as well) and I recommend it.

Commonplace Books Are Like a Diary Without the Risk of Annoying Yourself (Published 2022)
I keep a journal of quotes, lines from songs, poetry. Nothing is my original thought — but all of it struck me as meaningful when I wrote it down.

Do not ask that women of color choose one of our identities to fight for first. Freedom is wholeness. We get to be our whole selves. Our whole selves deserve to be free.

I attended a performance by poet Tasha Jones. At a point in the show she stands in front of a screen baring the names of 100 murdered Black people. Trayvon. Tamir. Breana. The Emmanuel nine. It is a gut punch realizing how quickly America grew bored of pretending to care about racism or Black death.

I ditched X and TikTok. My gut tells me to divest from Meta, too. How do I keep connections with amazing people that I cannot interact with in person regularly? As an author, what do book promotion and a writer's platform look like w/out supportive mainstream media and post-Twitter, IG, and TikTok?

I'm terrified by the rise of organized disinformation. Increasingly, it feels like most public communication is less about informing and engaging and more about inciting, inflaming and manipulating. What does it look like to reject this? What do we avoid? What do we support?

I followed this pack though these people are wrong about the Oxford comma, which I am adamantly against. I just miss the good old days of social media when I could have genteel skirmishes over punctuation with other writers vs. soul-crushing fights about my bodily autonomy with bad-faith trolls.
I was taught to always avoid the Oxford comma by Mrs Nelson, my year 4 primary school teacher and a formidable dominatrix.
But seriously, I love the Oxford Comma. So I made a starter pack of other serial comma aficionados. And I'll keep adding to it as I find more members of Team Oxford Comma . . .
