Hey white people, tomorrow is #Juneteenth, and you can celebrate by...

🎉 listening to black folks 🎉

We still have a few on Mastodon.

We would have more if we didn't whitesplain shit to them and act like assholes.

Fun fact: telling marginalized groups that their experiences aren't valid is a kinda shitty thing to do in general.

We still have a looong fucking way to go.

Maybe you're thinking "I'm not one of *those* white people, I have a BLM sign in my yard!" 🙎‍♀️

Fun fact: If that was what popped into your head, then you probably *are* one of those white people. 💁‍♀️

I try to regularly remind myself not to be. It can be hard to unlearn the stories your privilege tells you. Listening to someone else's stories helps.

I'm just writing this because I have some reach here and I want to use that privilege to amplify others.

Go check out #BlackMastodon and read shit. Don't jump into conversations, don't announce that you're an ally—just read and boost.

If you're in the Seattle area, the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) is doing cool stuff on Wednesday:

@alice ~ If you are not including, then you are excluding and that is a pillar of Fascism to marginalize and feel superior. That Inclusion has to seep into every synapse of one's brain. Be well. ❤️

“Meta doesn’t share where it got its training data and also restricts who can use the model for free, so Llama 2 technically doesn’t follow open-source standards.” theverge.com/2023/7/26/2380721

@liroyleshed my concern with all these AI tools (being a software engineer myself). Regardless of flavor, people using it is training it. At the end of the day, the very thing they practically worship will end replace them. I do not know why people are replacing critical thinking, creativity with this nonsense. I do know it is a mistake. I do not use AI, sure takes me longer but in case of grid failure I will survive.

More than 500,000 books have been removed from the Internet Archive's lending library due to the Hachette v. Internet Archive lawsuit, including more than 1,300 banned and challenged titles. 📚 Our patrons have shared powerful stories about how this loss has impacted them, and we need your help to make a change.

Sign our open letter to the publishers urging them to restore access to these books. 📖✍️ #LetReadersRead

@internetarchive @joncamfield But if people start reading books they could start thinking. If current events show us anything, it is that no one wants people to think.

@internetarchive I appreciate the effort to appeal to publishers, but wouldn't it be better to lobby Congress to amend copyright law to give libraries permission to engage in CDL?

@uspolitics I am reading Project 2025. In it the policy of only giving lunches to kids in school is supported. Feeding kids in the summer through a school lunch program is not what they want! Hungry kids-that’s their family’s problem!

#RIP Retired Maj. Gen. William Anders, the former Apollo 8 astronaut who took the iconic “Earthrise” photo showing the planet as a shadowed blue marble from space in 1968, was killed Friday when the plane he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San Juan Islands in Washington state. He was 90

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
