If anyone is looking at the people who have killed abortion access, affirmative action, enabled a convicted coup-inciter to take probably indefinite power if he wants, and (shall I continue?) and saying “but can they do that??” they are gaslighting themselves for their own denial feelgoods.

It's weird that a country with massive numbers of deaths from heat every summer for the past decade (ie, France) would even allow new buildings to go up without a/c

Last reskeet - once I learned that heating a building requires more energy than cooling a building, and certainly I would never advocate to leave buildings unheated, it really switched my thinking on air con usage.

No, really, misguided air conditioning shaming is a *very* real problem - as exhibited by the Paris Olympics.

There are 8000 people in my parking lot rn which I'm guessing means that someone is moving in. Or possibly out before someone else moves in. And I'm nosy enough that I want to watch but also anxious-catastrophizer enough to ignore the whole thing as long as possible.

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

You might have noticed fewer videos & posts by Gazans on the atrocities happening right now from the Israel Defense Forces. It's because so many journalists & everyday people are dying.
Stay focused and don't look away

And did those of you at ALA who didn't mask or test think for one moment that your choice not to test and wear masks makes it impossible for some to attend face-to-face conferences at all and for others it is a life-and-death risk they must take (because of the nature of their job)? (7/7)

I hope people will save a bit of their righteous indignation for ALA and other organizations that no longer require masks or testing at their conferences. They have abandoned people with disabilities utterly. Personally, I've decided not to give my time or money to any (1/7)

I will absolutely go so far as to say that the relegation of children to chattel status is a core part of whiteness. Unsurprisingly it was women from the Global South—the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo—who made the human rights of children to their own identities a part of international law. 🥚

The thing is, I know we all (rightfully) complain about publishing being so white, but that I'm able to buy a bunch of books at my semi-rural midwestern bookstore and most of them turn out to be by non-white authors without me even trying?
Things have changed so much since I was a kid.
