I really think everyone, all users, should subscribe to blacksky's moderation. @moderation.blacksky.app I've said it before. Nonblack users laugh it up with & boost accounts we can see are flagged for antiblackness all the time. Keeping watch for antiblackness should be part of an ally's journey.

Harvard grads can call the Harvard Alumni Association and politely let them know they won't donate to the school as long as Summers is working there. Their number is 617-496-0559.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

The most American thing I’ll read all day
The last allied soldier to be killed on the Western Front in 1918 was American Henry Gunther; at 10:59am on the 11th he charged astonished Germans who knew the armistice was only seconds away.

You really gotta love European work-life balance: Tomorrow (Tuesday) is a holiday, so today the university was also closed as a BRIDGE to the weekend 😎

Persi Diaconis is one of the kindest and most considerate person I met in mathematics #MathSky

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.
