I apologize for being so slow with my follow-backs! I have had a couple of MAGA follows, so I’m trying to go through methodically and make sure I avoid those. Please reply here if we’re already friends at The Other Place and I haven’t followed you back yet! Thank you! 💙

Yesterday was the 86th anniversary of singer and actress #EthelWaters’ variety TV special, “The Ethel Waters Show.” She was the first Black American to host a TV show! She was closeted by then, but she’d lived openly as a lesbian in Harlem before gaining wider fame. #PrideMonth 🏳️🌈

🇲🇽🇺🇸 Walls & Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, & the Politics of Ethnicity
by David G. Gutiérrez, 1995
Read this when it came out. One of the best history books I’ve ever read. I’d learned maybe 1% in high school, including in Texas history classes. I’m excited that I found it on Kindle!

Blind and low-vision folks — have any of you used a Hable One Braille Keyboard for iPhone? How was it? I can barely see anymore, don’t know yet if it’s permanent or maybe even getting worse, and my iPhone accessibility features are not enough for me. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

Also would appreciate recommendations on the best Braille label maker, especially one that will work for pill bottles. Thanks!

😩 Haven’t been on here much because I’m so extremely ill, and also I have new macular edema and vitreous detachments to go along with the choreoretinal, corneal, and vitreous problems I already had. So basically, I can barely see, and trying to see gives me terrible headaches. 👁️🤞

Pete Buttigieg calls out the GOP’s plan to slash Medicaid and gut the VA: “They don’t have an answer. Their answer is: burn it all down.”
Yes, there are problems. But cutting care for poor people and Veterans isn’t a fix—it’s a failure.
“We can do better than that.”

I missed Charles Mingus’ Birthday. IMO he was one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Easily my favorite bassist of all time, from any genre. I love bass, so he’s at the top of a long list. He was a talented pianist too. A genius who died too young because of f*cking #ALS. 👑 #Mingus #Jazz

Celebrating the late Jean-Paul Belmondo on his birthday! 🎉 There’s no one better. Phenomenal range: romantic hero; free-thinking priest; buffoon; gangster; tough cop; nerdy anti-fascist; millionaire con artist; broken-hearted peasant; swashbuckler; daredevil extraordinaire — always perfect! 💘 #BOTD

🏆 American hero Senator Cory Booker is now giving the longest speech in US Senate history! Racist Strom Thurmond previously held the record with his shameful 24-hour, 18-minute filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. New Jersey’s first Black senator burned Thurmond’s record to the ground! 👏👏👏

I’ve been watching American hero Senator Cory Booker for several hours now. I’ve made several clips, but they’re too long for Bluesky. I haven’t been able to edit them down yet. He’s about to hit the 19 hour mark & has made me cry several times! Thank you for fighting tyranny, @booker.senate.gov! 🙏
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Ümit Bektaş is one of Turkey’s most talented photographers.
His photos here are going viral. You’re not looking at AI: these are real photos from Turkey’s current pro-democracy protests. Despite mounting police repression, the demonstrations are expanding. Erdogan hopes protesters will tire out.

Pete Buttigieg: "They think all of this is a joke or a game. (Pete Hegseth) took classified information about American battle plans and randomly sent them to the wrong guy. If I made a mistake like this as a lieutenant, I would not only be fired but probably tried and in prison."

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite.
