[Sam @SamTecle]

please, please, please stop writing you "gave voice" to xyz marginalized group. No you didn't, and you didn't "make space" either, you just started listening. that's what you did, sit down. be humble. listen better. listen quieter.

[Sam @SamTecle]

@mattdj00 @Vanessid really appreciate this exchange. Going to check a project on TO Black communities that is using AI. I'm skeptical & have objections. Withholding jdgmt though until I see in full

i like long abstracts and i cannot lie...
you other scholars do too and you can't deny
when a paper drops with an itty bitty font,
and a massive reference list, you get cited

yeah, it's bed time. i need sleep.

[Sam @SamTecle]

@TheSlowBurn Yep! Was there, so glad I went.

What's a show everybody swore you HAD to watch that you quit after one episode?

[Sam @SamTecle]

it's always who gives a shit about titles really, but i've always liked "Convenor" of xyz institute rather than industry standard "Director"

[Sam @SamTecle]

Said it a a few years back and it still holds true, the best thing about tyler perry's films are the soundtracks

MISTY GREEN is proof that no matter how harsh the Hollywood system can be towards Black women, Chris Rock will always find a way to be harsher. Putrid, hateful film.

No big deal. At least they don't have, like, weapons and total impunity to kill people.

[Sam @SamTecle]

a really good chance conversation with someone you dont know in public and unplanned is so much rarer than it used to be

[Sam @SamTecle]

going somewhere to read physical books together in public, i've heard of this concept before...

[𝟑 𝐞̀𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐞𝐢𝐥 @_3emeOeil]

📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience.

Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

@Harmony_Holiday EXACTLY. Innovation, imagination and improvisation are thr best firewall, thays the best security system. Because no matter how much we think we should try, you cant gatekeep culture, cuz that's not how the technology of culture works! But we gonna keep on keeping on making anew

[Sam @SamTecle]

@TheSlowBurn Bruh I be thinking the exact same thing whenever work takes me to a meeting around those ends lol
