STOP KILLING TRANS PEOPLE
STOP LYNCHING BLACK PEOPLE

[Susannah Black Roberts @suzania]

A major reason that it didn’t make sense to use AI to write an essay about a substantive topic is that until you write the essay you don’t actually know what you want to say or what you think. You think you do, but it is the writing itself that actually gets the thinking done.

[Donald Clarke @donaldcclarke]

To clarify, there are 2 main straw man arguments:
1. “You can’t ask me to read every page of every source!” Correct. Nobody is asking that. Just make sure your source says what you say it says.
2. “You mustn’t banish people because they make one mistake in their citations!” (1/2)

Unfortunately if you want to grow you need to be exposed to hard things. You need to wire your brain to think that you can actually bypass anything. You are most probably capable, you just have not tested that ability yet. Do hard things. 🤍

A reminder that if you shop on https://t.co/E5E94Nv2ua you can select your favorite indie bookstore and all of the profits of your purchase will go directly to them! They frequently run different sales (including free shipping) with a massive selection of books to choose from !!

Also revolutionary playwright Lorraine Hansberry was born on this date. People reduce her to “A Raisin in the Sun” but she was deeply anti-colonial, Marxist, wrote for Robeson’s Black internationalist “Freedom” paper & supported liberation struggles in Africa, Asia & Caribbean💆🏾‍♀️

Matilda did not walk her four-year-old self to the public library every afternoon to soak up every possible moment she could in the comfort of books and joy of learning for you to not take advantage of your local library’s innumerable charms

The only data centers we need

[Brigham's Burner @FiredUpCoug]

Kids these days probably don’t even know how to make micro-adjustments to their font sizes and page margins.

Back in my day, half the fun was figuring out whether you could turn a 9-pager into a 10-pager without the teacher realizing you set Times New Roman to 12.3 pt.

Black Classic Literature: Autobiographies 🍯

[Jelena @Feralfairy13]

Your sensitivity is a superpower. Being able to cry at beauty, in prayer, from a song, good literature, sunsets, a baby’s smile, or just by watching someone you love simply exist is a gift

“I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.” - Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

How lucky we are to experience boring, ordinary, uneventful days. Somewhere in the world, that kind of safety is unimaginable.

[goma @soigomaa]

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

@KeruboSk Literally always. Moisturize well + sometimes a Carmex or lip creme for a lil razzle dazzle
