Hey if you're in dc and you're spending lots of time outside you need to check yourself for ticks regularly there's a 500% increase in ticks this year and yesterday me and my friends found 3 on our clothes after hanging out in dupont circle

.@nasponline recommends 1 school psychologist per 500 students. In #MCPS, many cover 2–4x that number.

Now, a $36M funding gap could cost many of them their jobs. We can't build a world-class school system if we continue to discard the very people who hold it together.

@softlarksong that’s exactly what I went for, my mom said it looked like a nightgown but that’s perfect for dancing all night imo (GIFs from when we were cleaning up and I discovered the photobooth had a GIF function that none of us had used the whole night lol)

went to the art museum yesterday and i just loved this one by a local 2nd grader

[مريم @bluepashminas]

the 2nd time i was arrested while protesting at columbia, i was punched & thrown to the ground by multiple nypd officers, sexually assaulted thru my clothes in plain sight while my hands were zip-tied behind me, & then was suspended & evicted again after leaving jail. i was 19.

Tired of people being perpetually shocked that we’re people, and that they can only understand that we’re people if we’re presented within a certain aesthetic.

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.

Official music video for “Depressed” just launched on YouTube. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Someone trained AI on her music, got a distributor for it, the distributor then copyright claimed her videos and music that the AI was trained on, effectively stealing her money. An absolute outrage, AI and AI powered scammers are strangling creatives.

I spent my Saturday in the park with @TheFormat (@NwistyOnline @SamMeans organized by @AlexNPress)

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Wow it’s almost like there was a deeply engaged protest movement by college students 2yrs ago that was the largest in 50yrs and the publication you work for—along with every other major outlet—smeared them as antisemites, then they were all systematically kicked out of school.

[ivy | timeline DEI hire @flowersfromivy]

update on this: i went because i had headaches and a runny nose. he chalked it up to anxiety. turns out they had left a piece of my wisdom tooth when i got it removed and it moved all the way up to my cheekbones and has been creating pressure in my sinuses.

[Gabrielle Zwi @GabrielleZwi]

@NwistyOnline excited for Saturday!! if y’all ever want help with a Saturday in the Park in Maryland or DC, please lmk (I used to help organize similar events through a mutual aid org and now I chair my city’s pride festival which is similar but less DIY vibes because the city co-sponsors it)

[Gabrielle Zwi @GabrielleZwi]

@NwistyOnline 🥺

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:

Weird that this is now the 2nd or 3rd major story about campus GOPs being full of full-on Nazis, an we're not seeing even a fraction of the energy from the ADL & co about this than they had for some kids in tents who didn't like that their universities were funding war crimes.

[audrey 🔜 right behind you @iTrollWomen]

you joke but in the ny times piece about AI psychosis this guy used ChatGPT to write his son's obituary after his son had a schizophrenic break induced by ChatGPT and was killed by the cops

Bald eagles getting lead poisoning from eating bullets is unfortunately just about the most American thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life
