I'm really frustrated this morning.
I need a copy of my birth certificate or proof of naturalization. My mother lost mine long ago, and I need a passport.
I'm a naturalized citizen via infant adoption. The USCIS website is a loop of bad links. This system is so hard to navigate.

So many people live in a cosy bubble of whiteness, insulated from reality by the absolute certainty that nothing can or will go wrong as long as they're Good People who Mean Well.
They prefer retaining that to recognising the reality of climate change and the pandemic and systemic injustice.

THIS is why I have no time for complaints about how I react to racism. Strangers trying to teach me to empathize with whiteness as if that is not the prison I just escaped from.

This is a common talking point - “Discussing racism is only gonna make people more racist” - that conservatives and anti-“woke” centrist pundits love to weaponize. But it’s never supported by even a shred of evidence - and the empirical information that contradicts the claim is ignored.

Why do certain people always blame Black people for making them uncomfortable w/r/t the racism that Black people have to face, as if it isn't harder for Black people?
The discourse is more levelheaded here, but it's still upsetting. Why is it so hard to just... Listen?

We are not decentralised. We are here, on bsky.app and we are all in this together. Appeals to the tech are just a coward's way to say "this doesn't affect me, please pipe down".
But we keep going.
We are not safe until all are safe, and Blacksky deserves an apology.

The fact that the team can't simply say "We know we fucked up, we know that antiblackness led to this fuckup, we are going to sit down with some of the Black users here, come up with a public and transparent game plan to address the harms and reduce risks going forward..." is WILD to me. It's simple

Ope. I'll hold off for now, and just donate to the community fund.
Please support striking workers in the way they’ve asked for. Instead of a viewer boycott, which they haven’t asked for, can you commit to donating to the strike fund, which they have? Maybe an amount equal to what you pay for streaming each month, for even one of the streamers, if not all?
I think we should be talking about a viewer's strike right now. Cut off the streaming services at least, until an agreement is reached with WGA and SAG. Maybe no movies as well? What do you think?

If you are worried about losing followers for speaking out (or for reskeeting folks who are speaking out) against the injustice in the world, you're not really losing anyone that matters unless racists are your target audience. Losing racist followers is a good thing.

Feels like it might be time to start canceling streaming subscriptions.
Especially since the DGA folded like a house of cards a few weeks ago.

SAG-AFTRA strike is on. Sandman has stopped shooting completely, along with everything else that was squeaking by without writers. I hope that the AMPTP sees reason and gets back to the table with the actors and the writers. I have no reason at this point to think they will see reason.
