I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.
#WomensHistoryMonth: The City of Women Map is a fascinating visualization of women’s history and urban transportation. Created by Molly Roy, Rebecca Solnit, and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, the map renames subway stops after notable women with links to that area, offering an entirely new way to view #NYC.

When I think how can anyone remotely support what’s happening with the current administration, I read horrifying posts on Threads that feed into the idiocracy.

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

Why should I be surprised that the Progressives Except Palestine would rear their ugly head on Bluesky? If all of these (mostly white) voices blaming victims for Harris’s loss would have been this vocal against the onslaught in Gaza, we wouldn’t be here.

There are many companies still committed to DEI.
87 percent of companies say they'll maintain or augment their DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs in 2025, according to a January study by Resume-dot-org.

The list of companies standing firm on DEI is growing every day.

On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to deport visa-holders that participated in pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

Now, he has issued an executive order that could be used to do just that.
