This is important: all of the collaboration it takes across an entire sector to make these levels of surveillance hell work.
msft front, middle, backends, oracle databases, and palantir tech using meta, goog, nflx, amzn, govt etc data that got hoovered up by muskrat and his script kiddie boot lickers. "but i use <tech_ecosystem> products, so i'm safe!" yeah babe, keep telling yourself that. 🙄

We take a moment today to reflect on Tiger Queen Alice Wong, a disability leader who joined our ancestors this weekend. Alice was a ferocious advocate for disability power and autonomy and profoundly influenced our work. She also very much believed in pleasure, sensuality, and the power of the body.

It's true that reading about the emails brought up a situation I had buried but not entirely forgotten. 45 years after the fact, I knew the name, the place, and how I was actually lucky that it wasn't worse.
Just a reminder that the circulation of the Epstein emails, reminding us not just how many people in power are predators... But how society will close ranks to protect them .... That might be hitting you some place soft, for a lot of reasons.
Be gentle with yourself.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.
The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

I sailed down a rabbit hole related to the blues and came across LOC recordings which were fascinating. This one of white singer, Marion Harris from 1918, includes a toast (a precursor to rap) and lauds the contribution of Black soldiers in WWI.

Bending The Arc is close to release. IDK, friends, every month feels a little more challenging than the last. My disorientation is real. Is it still a social justice newsletter? Is it still helpful to folks who read it? It seems that less and less what I include relates to the classroom.
