Still figuring out Mastodon. My work is on environmental justice and Pan-Africanism. My life is about jiu jitsu, art, skateboarding, and music. Recent chapter: "The Comparative Politics of Environmental Justice" (Oxford Handbook of Comparative Environmental Politics: Oxford U., 2021)

The more I learn about Raygun, the more I think we're not being harsh enough.

Here is my single most controversial music opinion.
If "Wu Tang Forever" were better curated, into a single album for example, I firmly believe it would be a better album than "Enter the 36 Chambers."

Reminder: no matter how much you specify that you are condemning Israel and all the backers of its genocidal occupying regime, somewhere, some bad faith actor will twist it into "YOU HATE JEWISH PEOPLE." As it is impossible to satisfy these people, the best approach is to block and mute.

Personally, if someone called me weird, I would choose to NOT stalk them around the country, confronting their empty vehicles. Doesn't this mf have a National Furniture Outlet he could be going to?

Quick response for all the geniuses angry typing "well, the IRISH-"
Irish people and Slavs were not discriminated against for being white. They were discriminated against for not being white *enough.* Punch magazine described the Irish as "the missing link between the chimpanzee and the Negro." Historian Charles Kingsley described the Irish as "white chimpanzees." So save both our time with the false equivalencies plz.

For the love of god, let's get Biden elected in November. We can get back to bullying him AFTER the election.

Look man, the Dems could put up a literal potato for president, and that would STILL be a better vote than going all-in on fascism like the Republicans are doing. You don't even have to like Biden to vote for him over white nationalist president.

"You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together. During Jim Crow, more Black people voted conservatively. And then Lyndon Johnson — you go down that road, and now we are where we are."
We've found it. The cooninest statement ever made. Scientifically impossible to coon harder than this Stepin Fetchit Uncle Ruckus wanna be.

Followup: I started it last night, and am hooked. I'm curious about how people who've not read the books are watching it - of course, my mind is filling in all the unfilmed backstory, and also noting discrepancies in storyline, gender, and ethnicity of the characters, but I'm really into it. Are people who haven't read the book getting into it too? I wonder. Love it, though.

An acorn falls on the roof of your car. Do you:
1) say, "huh."
2) say, "stupid goddamn acorn."
3) immediately do a dive and barrel roll, and empty your clip at a handcuffed person in the back seat.
If you answer #3, congratulations! You are law enforcement material!

OK, so please keep in mind that a large portion of the "whole world" is criticizing the Netanyahu government and the military apparatus of the IDF, and not you, specifically. Many people, including me, are well aware that Skaly is not actually in charge of Israel's Gaza policy, so I would say it's "insane and ridiculous" to say that my critique of Bibi means I think you, Skaly, are evil. There are a lot of Israeli citizens who also criticize Netanyahu and the Gaza nakba, and I don't think they "don't think Jews should exist," or whatever you're arguing.

I would really appreciate it if some of my white coworkers would stop telling students that identity politics are "on the rise," when this whole fucking country was literally founded on identity politics. Like, ask the Native Americans. Or read a book.

Look, if you:
...understand that the violence of the Occupation and illegal settlements don't justify killing Israeli civilians, but think that Hamas' violence justifies killing Palestinian children,
...don't extend the same consideration to dead Palestinian civilians that we should to the 1,400 Israeli and other Oct 7 victims,
...are fine with condemning Hamas, but think criticizing Netanyahu is an attack on every single Jewish person on earth,
...think criticizing the Netanyahu regime is the same thing as supporting the ethnic cleansing of Jewish people,
...recognize the horror of Hamas's violence, but are blind to the violence of the Gaza blockade, and the theft of land and people from the West Bank
Then legitimately just save me and you some time and energy, and just block me right now.

One important thing I've learned about Republicans - they're actually 100% fine with sexual abuse of children, as long as it's done by someone who also promises to 'own the libs.'

Pretty frequently I'll see "surgery regret" being used as a reason to delegitimze gender-affirming surgery, but I would like to remind all my fellow cis people that:
1) Surgery regret is an issue in ALL surgery, including, as the link shows, knee surgery.
2) Surgery regret in non-gender affirming surgery is literally orders of magnitude higher. 18% of people getting knee surgery regret it, in comparison to about 1% of gender surgery.

Here's a super important recommendation for all the cool people coming over from the #TwitterMigration - for the *most* part, there aren't (as far as I can see) as widespread problems with white supremacists, nazis, far-right trolls, incels, and assorted skips, skags, and scallywags as there are on Twitter/Fb/etc. BUT - they are still here!
HOWEVER, whereas on Twitter, engaging with these various numskulls, nitwits, and nincompoops is a "great" way to get engagement (what with the rage-baiting, hate-clicks, pile-ons etc), it's far less important (and may be counterproductive) here! If some fuckhead right wing fuck jumps in your mentions saying things about "Black-on-Black Crime™" or "groomers," or starting every sentence with "females," you can just block them! Don't even engage! Just report and block their bitch-asses!
Remember - there is nothing on earth you can say to libcuckkiller1488 or KanyeWasRight6969 that is going to be in any way productive! Just block, report, and move on!

Homeless people are people. Just give them homes. It's been proven to save public money. Just give them homes. It's been proven to reduce drug dependency and mental crises. Just give them homes. It literally ends homelessness. Just give them homes. NOT KILL THEM.

Once again, a white man decides unilaterally to deputize himself and, in the process of policing Black bodies, kills someone. I'm sure with the FULL BELIEF that this murder was in the interest of "Law and Order.™" Just the absolute arrogance. The absolute white male arrogance.

I don't know anything about Bluesky, honestly. I'm as happy here as I was on Twitter. I've been pretty good about finding a Black community here, but I know I'm not representative of everyone's experience here.

2/ To that end, I wonder if (without Googling) you can tell which of the following song lyrics are a) more of that dangerous violent thug mentality that is endemic specifically to hip hop, or b) simply light-hearted, ironic, or critical imaginative pieces by talented white musicians. No cheating!

1/ In an amazing bit of serendipity, I've been listening to various podcasts, and this episode from "Louder Than a Riot" popped up. It deals exactly with the different way in which Black music is (literally!) criminalized for dealing with the same themes that white music does:
