If you need a bright spot, it is this: acting in the dead of night, secretly, with as much speed as possible, and denying and delaying scrutiny implies that they BELIEVE their work is vulnerable and reversible at this stage.

"DEI" is the Swiss Army Knife for bigotry dog whistles. Anything can be blamed on it, and bigots will fill in their hatred, ignoring the fact they fit someone else's choice for DEI otherness.

The times are a timing. Interesting times. Philosophical times. Evil times. Dangerous times.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Remember: If an article is behind a paywall, going to archive[dot]is is a great way to make sure that article is properly snapshotted for posterity in the future. If in the process, you can read it, well, that would be something, wounldn't it?

Buy books. Buy real paper books. Buy digital books that allow you to download the file for reading on the app of your choice. Support articles and research papers delivered directly to you from authors or sources.

Do not, however, trust that any platform-based reading material is permanent.

If you, like many on my feed, are working to process today, that's valid. If you are struggling to find a path forward, I humbly suggest starting with yourself. Education, reading, and reasoning is more important now than ever, both as a fundamental skill and revolutionary action. 1/

Are we going to post about how #Chillsubs users ranked us the #1 literary magazine out of 1,000+ literary magazines for months on end? Yup! Even prouder because this comes from readers and Chillsubs, an org that matches up with our culture.

In the wake of the #Meta #DEI fracas, isn't weird that we haven't heard anything from or of Priscilla Chan, despite her being a big talking point in the rehabilitation of the Zuck image from semi-android basement dweller to certified internet dude-bro?

TikTok is being banned because Twixxer and FaceMeta are the state-approved social media platforms.

This is the most validating post I've encountered in quite some time.
Why major in philosophy?
- can be smug after only 2-3 classes
- only major where you finish knowing less than when you started
- generally better beards than psychology
- can't find a job, but then again what even is a job?

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
