An active season it has been indeed & I expect hurricane season to be as well
As we enter March in Amerikkka, esp if you live in the central plains through the Southeast, we need to be especially vigilant for Tornado season. This first system will be a good litmus test but I suspect a pretty active season

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.
A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

If you voted for the raging pumpkin, no Cinco de Mayo & if you voted for Kamala no Cinco de Mayo for you either. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of revolutionary action against the yt supremacist empire. If you not 10 toes down for revolutionary warfare, this holiday not for you

We are devastated to see 20% of our beloved colleagues laid off by the same leadership who have yet to recognize our union.
We demand that leadership at Sesame Workshop bargain with us over the terms of these massive layoffs. Consider letting them know that you expect the same.

I’d read a deep dive oral history on how they fumbled this bag.
No one has ever fumbled the bag harder than the app that had a monopoly on the video conferencing and then got cooked by Zoom during the pandemic.
In 2019, Skype had 300 million active monthly users.

One annoying thing about the "run the government like a business" guys is that they also are terrible at running businesses. I run my podcast "like a business" in the sense that things are made to a high quality and shipped on time, but it seems their only version of "good business" is "layoffs"

There’s something so dated about writing that explains Blackness to yt ppl and doing that is not the same thing as actual art criticism of Black art.
The former is so…magazine popularity era thru 2010s bird app. The latter is timeless—before & after aforementioned era too—and not zoo exhibitesque.
