Gaza war
Rwandan genocide
Armenian genocide
Genocides across the world
History of genocides
lynching
lynching in the united states
lynchings in the united states

I think a lot about the educators who claim that LLMs helped students find obscure, interesting sources for research. Let's say the source is real and valuable. What's lost is the process of learning of knowledge. 1/

I wrote about Trump's executive orders, including his attacks on trans and undocumented people, and how we should be orienting ourselves to defy fascist violence in this moment. This piece includes commentary from @chasestrangio.bsky.social and @silkys13.bsky.social.

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.
Remember their goal is to terrorize us. And social media is a fantastic way to spread terror. We don’t have to help them.
Based on the vibes of my timeline today I’m feeling like the next two weeks are probably gonna be a really good time to reduce social media use as much as possible. Because YIKES.
