A lot of people shocked that there's not consensus over the salute must not know that this is what racism usually feels like

Disclaimer that I don’t know how true this is. But if it is, useful to keep in mind for your gofundmes

Glorious.
A fun thing you can do is pop onto Zillow, look at all rentals in a random chunk of the greater LA area, sort by recently changed, then check every price increase to see if it was more than 10%. If there's no obvious changes (didn't go from unfurnished to furnished) then report it for price gouging.

“Built like a casino” is so accurate that I had to share.
I remember when people made fun of Snapchat for being an unintuitive shitty app you couldn't figure out how to navigate. Now it's every fucking app and increasingly more websites. They are built like a casino, as an endless fucking maze that keeps you there. Full of shit you didn't ask for.

Before any situation that might involve cop interaction, TURN OFF YOUR PHONE. Phones require physical passwords to unlock on first boot after power down; cops can’t force you to unlock with biometrics when that happens.
✨COPS CAN USE YOUR BIOMETRICS TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE WITHOUT CONSENT✨

Your face and fingerprint can give them access to everything you think you are protecting.

Using tech to organize when you don't absolutely have to is a mistake.

Posting your organizing tactics & sources online is a mistake.
What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin?

Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps.

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

If you haven’t watched City of Ghosts what are you waiting for?
Today in class (The Art of Creative Research) we watched all of City of Ghosts in a small movie theater. Revelatory to see it on the big screen. It is the most compassionate, wonderful show. My students loved it. I cried—many times. Including at this scene (below). Thank you @kikutowne.bsky.social.

What are the words that you mispronounced in your head when you read them long before you heard them? Mine are Anathema and Superfluous. I still prefer to say Soup- ur-floo-iss conversationally.

I will follow the insane food science threads if Seamus Blackley anywhere.
OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION.

Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see.

Anyway, off we go!

The philosopher Viktor Frankl said, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Buddhists have a name for that space: the sacred pause.
The sacred pause between the election and what comes next
There are plenty of fires to fight right now in America, but there’s a fire inside you, too. Appreciate this sacred pause—this space between fires—and let your flame find its way.
