Transgressive joy last night at Tiana Clark ‘s reading at Smith College from her new book SCORCHED EARTH! Her conversation with Ocean Vuong afterwards was illuminating and cathartic—you can find the recording online with the Smith College Poetry Center ✨💜✨ It was a chilly night but magical!

#OtD 3 Mar 1991 Rodney King was brutally beaten by police in Los Angeles. Despite it being caught on film (almost unheard of in those days), the officers were acquitted, and the city went up in flames in what were the biggest riots since 1968 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

I did this just now and it worked.
thelocalmuffin Jan 20 Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their Al program automatically. If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off. Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works. Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit. I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few min to do.

“He said, you Americans are so naive. He said, you think that evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots and climb up the stairs—it begins in the language. Look to the language.”

-Joseph Brodsky, as recounted by Marie Howe themillions.com/2018/01/tk-t...
I studied with Joseph Brodsky the great Russian poet and how do I say this, he thought we were lazy American students. We had to memorize 500 lines a week and come in and write them out for him. He said, you Americans are so naive. He said, you think that evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots and climb up the stairs-it begins in the language. Look to the language. He said, in the Soviet Union, nothing is permitted and everything is important. In the United States, everything is permitted and nothing is important.
