if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Ted Lasso finale really said why cut toxic people out of your life when you could just open yourself up to continued abuse instead :)

“I’m in a good mood today but we’re not sure how much that’s gonna last.”

“We’re not looking for a banana with a headache or a banana with high pressure, we’re looking for a terminal disease.”

“Sugar to taste honestly.”

“ANTUAN, is it sairup or sirup?” “Help.”

“Now you’re gonna start mixing but in glam motions.”

“Dimitri I’m gonna put you too in the bottom. There’s space eh…”

“My talent is infinite.”

I honestly, sincerely do not think there was a more obviously counterproductive, dog shit stupid political cohort than those who used every waking moment trying to get Biden, then Harris, to lose because they thought Trump would be better about the Middle East.

Well, let's be honest, they weren't really thinking about what would actually happen in the Middle East if Trump got elected; they were simply high on owning da libssssss

Generative AI has destroyed academia.

In the next few decades we’re going to have thousands of people who don’t really know anything, and can’t do any critical thinking.

"If you're not american, why do you even care-"

US-based company YouTube just nuked the government funded channel for HIV prevention in Germany. The channel is purely educational and had no prior (or current) violations.

Assuming you guys get elections again; if I see a single person telling non-US-americans to stay out of it, it's on sight.

(german source) As of writing, the channel has been reinstated due to public backlash, but is missing several videos.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"
