I’m not here to “engage in dialogue” or “have a conversation” and all opinions are not equal.
Leave Black women be or they’ll block us all. They owe us nothing.

You’d have to be depressingly bland to even be most people‘s cup of tea. My favorite tea is aggressively cinnamon-y black tea.

The other one still has a clamp where I’m gluing down a split that happened on the inside of the door when I drilled the upper hole for the handle. Not sure what happened, but I do think the glue is gonna do it.

Just finished assembling cabinets for hanging in the laundry nook. There’s another one just like it. Adding handles is so stressful, drilling holes through brand new doors.

In case my bio isn’t clear enough, here’s my skircle. As in my offline life, I care a lot more the quality of my circle than the size of it. I don’t do a lot of posting so my skircle is mostly who I’m listening to & learning from. Are you paying attention to who you’re listening to?

Not only does it take *many* sessions, you should wait 6 weeks between each session.

It’s so much worse than I initially thought. Hume published a six volume History of England.🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely not. All of the No.

![From 1754 to 1762 Hume published The History of England, a six-volume work, that extends (according to its subtitle) "From the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688." Inspired by Voltaire's sense of the breadth of history, Hume widened the focus of the field away from merely kings, parliaments, and armies, to literature and science as well. He argued that the quest for liberty was the highest standard for judging the past, and concluded that after considerable fluctuation, England at the time of his writing had achieved "the most entire system of liberty that was ever known amongst mankind". (189] It "must be regarded as an event of cultural importance. In its own day, moreover, it was an innovation, soaring high above its very few predecessors."(1901 Hume's History of England made him famous as a historian before he was ever considered a serious philosopher. In this work, Hume uses history to tell the story of the rise of England and what led to its greatness and the disastrous effects that religious fanaticism had on its progress. For Hume, the history of England's rise may give a template for others who would also like to rise to its current greatness.

![As to the charge of racism, based on the footnote Hume appended to his essay "On National Characters" in 1753, 1661 and had amended as an endnote for a posthumous 1777 edition, 67] Hutton and Ashton acknowledge that its content is "especially shocking-and deeply puzzling". 681 Bailey describes it as "highly prejudicial speculation". 691 Fieser suggests that Kendra Asher's discussion 70] "is the only one to date suggesting that the footnote might not represent Hume's true views". [64] Fieser suggests that Asher's interpretation "must be taken seriously",
", but stresses the need to
"address head on" the indications that Hume both 'encouraged' and 'assisted' friends in the investment in a slave plantation. [64]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gtbezcmvsbvvpu4dgc4wnegb/bafkreihj6ptg4xn2ki6oq7l4hrgubmpbjpc4sbqqdtv7pgepblyc4cfjde@jpeg)

My Cane Corso (his name is Fermi because he’s an Italian mastiff and I’m a nerd) put himself in a weird timeout last night. Or he might have been giving me the cold shoulder silent treatment because I stayed up past his bedtime (that isn’t his bed-bed, it’s his cubicle in my office).

Cool - in order to earn your performative allyship merit badge, please write a 500 word essay analyzing the following social media post, using key concepts from Imani’s article. Identify passages that speak directly to what is problematic about the post, and how those issues could’ve been avoided.

I just migrated to blacksky using @sharpiepls.com ’s posts. It was painless and took maybe 20 minutes, because I followed the instructions for nonblack users and subscribed as a paid supporter (not required, but I can afford due to canceled MSM subs):
