Last Notes npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace Nothing like that piercing scream from the phone when there’s a flash flood warning. I’m apparently sheltering in place until midnight. My heart rate might slow to normal by then. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace As a Jew I do not believe in hell. If I did, I’d hope that Orenthal James Simpson was enjoying his inaugural lava bath right now. I hope this moment brings some sense of long deserved relief to the Brown and Goldman families at long last. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1cxy…vryr those slippers are magic! Happy belated birthday! npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace A friend just bought and moved into a home, and discovered that the prior owner had left behind their composting tumbler, a nice model that retails for about $50. This seems like a much better investment, though perhaps at a somewhat lower price point, for municipal distribution than the continued proliferation of blue bins for recycling that largely doesn’t get recycled. Green bins for food and/or organic waste are pretty common outside of the US, are there any US cities doing that? npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1hd2…zm0u Rosa DeLauro has rocked a unique and singular sartorial expression throughout her time in Congress. No one talks about her clothes (or her blue hair or tattoos) because she doesn’t make her work about her appearance. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace Hot damn, Sinema’s just flat out quitting. Good. Take your shitty fashion sense and flee from the public sphere, you vapid waste of time. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace It took me far too long to work out why the v-neck of my shirt wouldn’t get centered. I thought the sleeve was twisted and then maybe that it was made incorrectly then maybe that I’m developing a humpback in the way of the post-menopausal with horrible posture. Then I realized that it’s not a v-neck T all, it’s a square neck. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace It really is hard to overstate how sleazy and inexcusable it is to churn out a constant stream of non-news stories (vaguely disguised op-eds, really) about Biden being too old to lead, based on nebulous feelings and speech foibles that aren’t new. His age isn’t going to change and barring death or calamity, neither is the reality that he’s going to be the nominee up against a rapist fascist who promises to burn everything down. Pretending this is a real choice is journalistic malpractice. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1ul2…5sjq Bagel can come have a nap with Auntie Amadi. There’s room on the big bed. Even with the cone. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace I just saw a video in which a prolific baker of sourdough bread heralded her new discovery: she can make sourdough loaves any size she wants them to be. This was accompanied by visuals of baking pans of individual serving size sourdough “loaves.” Or as the rest of the world knows them, bread rolls. She had apparently never encountered a roll before. But has tens of thousands of people following her for baking content. Social media was a mistake. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace As we remember #ShafiqahHudson and the fact that her death hinged on marginalization and the disparate treatment she received at the hands of the healthcare industry as a Black woman, it is also important that we name what killed her. She is dead because she caught COVID. The havoc that COVID wreaked on her body was fatal. It took years, and it was complicated by other things, but ultimately she would still be with us without that virus. Think of her and put a mask on your face in public. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1sfl…gczt nooooo Jeeve! npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace On this day in 2021, I wrote this, and I stand by it: “Let’s make sure that we are using proper language. Every single person at the Capitol today was there in order to engage in domestic terrorism and an attempted white supremacist insurrectionist coup. Every single person on the Capitol grounds is a white supremacist terrorist. Every single one. And let us all be abundantly clear, if these people were not white, they would be dead.” We ignore the white supremacy of the thing at our peril. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace Just saw the wish: “May this new year treat you the way you treat trans women” and my whole being transcended. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace If I had a nickel for every couple I’ve seen in the last 15 minutes, standing out in a yard or on a deck, having a vigorous argument with lots of gesticulating and finger pointing, while one of them smokes a cigarette, I’d have three nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened thrice. #HolidayFamilyFun npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace It doesn’t fail to escape my attention that none of the parents of the affluent white boys who committed mass murders in schools have been prosecuted by anyone, let alone facing both state and federal charges. Not a single one of them saw the inside of a cell for even an hour, not even for failing to properly secure their firearms. But the Black single mother of a small child who is deeply mentally ill, well, she’s fair game. From: @npub10le…8r3l https://press.coop/@thehill/111586371371706906 npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace If you were a fan of the TV show #Monk and thought that you could pass a couple of enjoyable hours watching the new sequel movie on Peacock, please be warned that it is much much darker in tone than the original series, and there is a lot of suicidal ideation expressed throughout the two hours. They leaned all the way into the pandemic truly breaking Monk and putting him emotionally lower than he’s ever been. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1200…aqy2 I think it’s important that if we’re going to talk publicly about these things that we have something more to say than just everything is bad, as well as an understanding of who should be held accountable for what, at a minimum. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1200…aqy2 so what’s the answer? What’s the better option? npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace What does anti-trans bias in media look like? It looks like an article about complaints over the mere existence of a transgender character in a TV show that came from less than 0.0001895% of the show’s viewers, needlessly amplifying the bigotry of an infinitesimal number of complainers and granting them unwarranted attention. Worsened by a headline that treats the number of complaints as significant and worded as though they hold some validity. https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/111/546/022/424/340/660/original/6e3fc6f12b0e3bf8.jpeg npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace Let me make a suggestion that if you are planning some charity for “Giving Tuesday” direct aid to individuals is likely to have a deeper and more meaningful impact than money thrown into the not for profit industrial complex. Do you want to buy a 501(c)3 a toner cartridge or do you want to help someone keep their electricity on or their family housed? npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace And now Jenna Ellis flips. Fani Willis is rolling up these Trump co-defendants and shredding them like a chiffonade of wilted, flavorless basil. This is delightful to watch, in no small part because these folks are lawyers. They aren’t taking these pleas to minimize the risk of losing their entire lives the way most criminal defendants do. They’re pleading out because they’re all guilty as hell and knew it before they were ever charged. It’s purely earned punishment. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace I got an alert from the USPS that I had a package coming. No one bought anything so I got a little excited. Was it a gift? A surprise? A little treat from someone? Then I realized no. It’s just COVID tests. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace My cousin was a 29 year veteran of Houston Independent School District, the last 15 as a beloved principal. She resigned from her job after the announcement of the unreal standards by which unqualified state observers will be judging HISD teachers during daily classroom incursions. She loves her school, staff and students but refuses to be complicit in Greg Abbott’s efforts to destroy public education in America’s 4th largest city. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub189n…satx he’ll show up after in his ridiculous white boots to nod at the damage then run back home. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace Watching people who allege themselves to be progressive leftists spending the day making and creating a forum for fatphobic commentary about Donald Trump, who’ll never see it, with zero regard for their fat friends and colleagues who will. I’m so tired of people. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace @npub1wjh…6adp shades of the white bronco. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace Good morning #Mazeldon and #Jewish folks across the fediverse. In response to the unthinkable numbers who perished in Maui who remain unrecovered, the The International #Shmirah Hub is scheduling virtual shomrim to read tehillim and daven with kavannah for the safety of their bodies until they can be found. If you have a half hour for this #mitzvah you can visit https://www.shmirah.com/ to volunteer. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace A few days ago I praised #MattMullenweig from #Automattic #WordPress & #Tumblr as someone trying to be a good contributor to web culture. He is currently doing a live stream for Tumblr users, and in response to an epileptic user asking if there could be a standard to prevent vibrant, strobing ads as they’re a seizure risk, he made some vague noises like “yeah I guess” then instantly uggested that the user buy the no-ad upgrade. Paywalled accessibility? Like hell. I rescind my praise. npub1dtq4xnvvr3w8x3qpt0hcr8z2eax7x2hgzxahljg22fkjtuf6rzdswjhf8c Mx. Amadi Lovelace More than ever, this is what today feels like. What are you doing to protect the trans people around you? #TDOV #TransDayOfVisiblity https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/110/118/348/071/762/940/original/235e65739f10ef72.jpeg
