To me, this is what love can look like! Preserving knowledge. He realises that knowledge is valuable & precious & some violent, bloodthirsty people see no value in learning. Too blinded. Learning would quench their bloodlust in some cases. By safeguarding these books others can benefit, how kind💖.
Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

You know important movement elders are indigent in terrible health? Not glam at all & they need community support. Dhoruba bin Wahad is a Black Panther & thinker, I read his REVOLUTION IN THESE TIMES out last year & was going to interview him for radio before he fell ill. Here’s his mutual aid call.

There is something so beautiful about you as a human being that *this* this small detail, stuck in your flesh like a thorn in your palm & now you're like "yeah he was always a dodgy one!" To be honest knowing the lore is kinda important! I resonate so hard with having these gripes w ppl. Smoke, folk
I have found him distasteful since he wrote that song for the Hobbit movie and wrote the line:

"And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons"

The line should be Durin's folk. It sounds better AND that's what dwarves are called. I'm finally vindicated.

I wrote a thing: "On the justification of sampling-based statistics in randomised experiments." It's geared towards non-statisticians in the quantitative social sciences, and I'd love to get some feedback!

Woah!
In Paris, I visited museums with an eye toward histories of race and colonialism - Quai Branly and La Musée Nationale de l’Histoire de l’Immigration. Finally saw, for the first time, the Code Noir with my own eyes, a 17th century set racist French laws that I learned wasn’t repealed until THIS YEAR

And the things is this will have no impact on the racists who will continue to be racist
Just a reminder as the new academic year kicks off - the UK government has deliberately, ruthlessly, throttled the recruitment of international students, solely to pander to racists, and the resultant 25%+ fall in numbers can and will only accelerate some universities into bankruptcy.

Those of us who, at the time, saw and foresaw the true horror of the escalations underway will go on having been absolutely right, and in this foul world, it will go on not mattering a damn.
I cannot describe the brokenness I felt reading this from the Haaretz piece.

The hostages were betrayed by everyone; Israeli leaders, the diaspora leaders & their orgs, the entire pro-Israel industrial complex, and by far and away the millions of people who cried "hostages" to support a genocide.

My vision (with glasses) is OK, but I love alt text for providing context! What am I looking at? What show are these characters from? What city is this? What's this politician's name? Etc.

On top of that, where I work the signal is usually so bad I can't load images, but I can still load alt text!

Thank you @gilltav.bsky.social for reminding us all of the Police response in 2021 👇 when some 40 environmental activists of Insulate Britain blocked the Port of Dover: 39 arrests.

Compare that to yesterday when 200-400 fascist paramilitaries intimidated Dover town and blocked the Port: 0 arrests.

Precisely my thoughts. I'm also staunchly against AI in most things but esp. creative fields.
Damn that's wild because I don't want to *see* a movie like that either so maybe that movie just shouldn't get made?

“‘anemoia’ describes nostalgia for a time or place one has never known. Increasingly, those of us who belong to Gen Z find ourselves digging around in past aesthetics in search of a lost, perhaps better, time. It’s one way to combat the existential dread of living in a digitalised, AI-dominated era”

It is through Asawa's work that I found out about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

💔 I look forward to meeting him one day when death is no longer a barrier for us all.
Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest vocalists and performers of our times, was born on this day 80 years ago.
He died aged 45.
AIDS not only took our friends and lovers, it robbed us of a generation of artists and the beautiful, extraordinary work they may otherwise have given us.

I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other.

That really resonated.
