I have a dog, some lacemaking skills, and some books. Probably watching crime shows. Not my real name.

My things are misinformation, education, and sociology so I absolutely see how that could be confused with conspiratorial thinking. So. New rule. If you think I’m going too far out on a limb, assume I’m not, tag me in a separate post. Don’t accidentally spread misinformation in my replies.

Do me a favor: remember that to non-Black people, I am Black. No one else has to acknowledge it but non-Black people treat me as a Black woman anyway, so it’s best to consciously recognize that.

This is very grim. Most high speed networks operate for decades without fatal incidents (I think I am right in saying there has never been a passenger death in an accident on a French high speed line). Spain has now had two with death tolls of around 40 on the same line within a calendar year.

Where that Dril tweet when you need it about dialing up the meter on racism and looking back at the audience to see if it’s working?

If you've noticed the Hamasbots losing their minds on social media today, it's probably because of the Israeli election. If Netanyahu ends up out of power, they will have lost their Israeli Big Bad whose government has been their ostensible reason for their "antizionism."

Every time I see this commercial I just laugh because i literally can't go outside without seeing white people. Not to the store. Not to work. Not on the street corner. Not anywhere. But this lady is afraid to come outside because she's white.

My parents complain that I am stubborn. In these crazy times, being stubborn is necessary. Vought terminated $ billions in funding across federal agencies. Scientists have had to resort to fundraising to finish the projects that they started. Science can't stop. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Louisianans know there is no such thing as a permanently red state! Thanks to everyone who came out this morning in New Orleans to support Jamie Davis and Rep. Troy Carter.

Flavio Bolsonaro fleeing Brazil after he lost shows that Brazilians made the right choice in the election.

This is "usaid is making my eggs expensive" logic. You can criticize American foreign policy without sounding like you learned economics from Elon Musk.

This makes me think of a conversation I had with a then-friend in 2016 who intended to vote third party Him: I guess the difference between us is, you accept this system, and I don’t Me: yeah, you’re a cishetwhiteman. You GET to pretend the system is optional. You’re showing your massive privilege
