Last Notes npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Bari Weiss is a hack and total piece of trash. At least, in her clumsiness and stupidity, she has all but guaranteed even more attention to this story of continued evil from the #Trump administration. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @nprofile…fvvj npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Guys, it may be winter in the northern hemisphere, but even so, please be aware that there are still parasites that you need to pay attention to. This poster helpfully identifies some of the most dangerous parasites, as well as effective treatments against them. Bless. 🙏🏿 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I use drugs all the time, and I have a house, healthcare, and a job. Why should we deprive low-income and unhoused people of the freedoms we all engage in? npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Eyyyy! We (The Almendros) just released our second album "Destination Unknown." Available on Bandcamp (also Spotify, but Spotify is evil, so use the Bandcamp link if you can): https://thealmendros.bandcamp.com/album/destination-unknown npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Watching #Andor is crazy, because Americans will watch #StarWars and the continue to support trump. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG This is the class solidarity I am here for. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Damn, can’t believe the Democrats’s strategy of “roll over and give Trump every fucking thing he asks for” isn’t working: duck://player/W8OFrDQkfjM npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG This is fucking crazy npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Huge, if true. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I am genuinely perplexed* at the fact that Patriotic Conservatives in the US are a-ok with an unelected African billionaire finagling his way into the federal government to blatantly and unapologetically shape national policy. Cannot imagine going back in time 20 years and telling Republicans this. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG The more I learn about Raygun, the more I think we're not being harsh enough. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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? npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG There's racist, and then there's "Black people have the 'pimp walk' gene" racist. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Reminder that Ronald Reagan was the devil incarnate, and "Reagan Republicans" are not actually good people ❤️ npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1509…54x4 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Quick response for all the geniuses angry typing "well, the IRISH-" npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG For the love of god, let's get Biden elected in November. We can get back to bullying him AFTER the election. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Goddamn. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG "I know the oligarchs have been screwing us out of home, health, and basic human needs while accumulating wealth at an absurd rate for the past 40 years, but what if we gave them MORE power?" npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I love the Sandman series on Netflix. Now THERE'S an adaptation they got right. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1afz…wdvg npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I remember the whole East Coast-West Coast thing. I really am not enjoying this Kendrick-Drake rap beef. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG There's a non-zero chance Republicans blame the overcast eclipse sky on DEI. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub19fc…ay3c npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub19fc…ay3c npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG An acorn falls on the roof of your car. Do you: npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub19fc…ay3c npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1509…54x4 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1j8m…v5r7 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Every time I'm in Grading Hell™, I have to consciously remind myself that my students are good, and sweet, and should not be catapulted into the sun. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Y'all need to buy stock in cocoa butter, because I'm about to single-handedly keep the entire business afloat. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1k74…dmux npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG For everyone thinking of rejecting Biden for his policy on Gaza and the Middle East, might I remind you that Trump tried to pass a whole-ass MUSLIM BAN. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG The only time state violence has successfully quelled militant movements purely through violence (as opposed to ceasefires, concessions, amnesty - e.g, the FARC, ETA post-Franco) is through a campaign of brutal occupation and savagery that, to be honest, I don't think the Israeli public in general would support. As bad as the Occupation/blockade of Palestinian Territories has been for the past 3 generations, it could be substantially worse. I don't see how Netanyahu hopes to solve the Hamas problem through this campaign, unless he engages in literal complete ethnic cleansing. I have no doubt that the Netanyahu faction would 100% want to do that with full backing by the US, but I seriously doubt he would get enough support in Israel to do what that actually entails. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Look, if you: npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I don't mean to be all political, but I do not think killing over 3,000 children, including premature babies, is the best way to show that you condemn terrorist violence. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG My "favourite" thing about this study is the finding that achaeologists who found hunting tools/weapons in women's graves assumed they were kitchen implements. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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.' npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG OK, I got COVID super early on, Thanksgiving 2020 to be precise, before vaccines, before really the height of the pandemic. There is nothing I can do about that. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG If you want to donate specifically to address the crisis in Gaza, the UNRWA has an operation in Northern Gaza and Gaza City: npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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: npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub189n…satx npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1d40…u7lw npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Reading about the sentencing of the fascist Proud Boy insurrectionists is really testing my commitment to prison abolition. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Academic mastodon! Especially people with specialities/focuses in environmental politics, environmental justice, and/or environmental governance - I am the book review editor of Global Environmental Politics, one of the leading journals on the global environment. I am looking for reviewers for several very exciting looking publications on (among others) ecocriticism and environmental narratives/storytelling, plastic pollution, and environmental securitization. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I know Republicans are stupid and evil, but you would think that at some point they would realize that calling people out for being racist is literally judging people for the content of their character. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Fellow Black people - I know that in light of the #jacksonville killing, some people booed the white suprem-, er, Intellectually Diverse™ governor DeSantis of Florida, given his vocal and political support of white nationalism. However, as a Black community, we have to remember that protesting violent white supremacy sometimes makes white people feel sad! And angry! And isn't that really a kind of racism in itself, if you think about it? npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1g3l…uraz npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG As soon as I read the headline, I was like: "the child is definitely Black." Lo and behold... npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Job opportunity in academia at UMass Boston: npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Hold up - you're telling me a bunch of Alabama violent, thuggish, entitled white guys ganging up on a lone Black man simply for doing his job might be ***RACIST***?!? No way! npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Hell yeah. Shout outs to the Alabama Sweet Tea Party forever. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG British people, I cannot explain adequately what absolute hell the American healthcare system is. You know how people say: "at least in the US, you can get fast treatment. At least in the US, you can choose your doctor. At least in the US, you can get the most innovative treatment"? npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I think ultimately, too many people don't understand the difference between being Civil™ and being decent. People say the most heinous, racist, evil shit in a Civil Tone™ all the time (see, cf: Charles Murray). Calling these motherfuckers out for the worthless evil cowards they are may not be "civil," but it's a hell of a lot nicer. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I'll be honest, man. Sometimes when I see how easily and eagerly people are to excuse and justify all kinds of violence against the poor, homeless people, women, trans people, nonbinary people, sex workers, BIPOC folk, Jewish people, immigrants, and all the intersections therein, it really bums me out. The only thing more mystifying than how easily people will justify violence, is how offended they get when I call them out as the worthless pieces of shit they are. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Yo, I am listening to this podcast about Clarence "Uncle" Thomas, and it is WILD AF. I thought I could not possibly have more contempt for this cooning sellout Uncle Ruckus-ass bitch, but I was wrong! You learn something every day! npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I have time to play either trumpet OR guitar tonight, but probably not both. WHAT SHOULD I DO. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I might be wrong, but I feel like quoting Hitler TWICE isn't really a "gaffe." npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG I think this is my first time being on the other side of a #TwitterMigration. It's pretty cool! For all the new folks here making an #introduction for those concerned about not being able to find POC, I strongly recommend starting by following hashtags and using those to follow people who use/are associated with them. I did that and found a really active, engaged, diverse, and vibrant Black community here. Use the following hashtags in particular: npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub135d…tg9k @npub1j0s…xp04 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Glad to see Republicans doing everything they can to protect (white) kids from dangers like "seeing gay people be happy" and "learning racism exists," so they can be shot to pieces in school in between floor shifts in the factory. You know. Like God intended. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1jup…77gr npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG Does anyone have Microsoft Outlook? I swear I used to be able to "Empty Other" folder from my inbox, but now I can't find that function. I have 3,000+ emails that I'm never going to read. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG One of my biggest concerns about switching over to Mastodon when I did, was losing the online Black community I developed on birb site, many of whom were very helpful to my continuing to thrive as I negotiated white supremacist spaces in my professional and personal life. I am very happy to find another such community here, and want to give a shout outs to SOME (wish I could tag everybody - the search function is pretty terrible here for some reason) of the people that keep me coming back to the Fediverse. Love you guys! npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG So, I was talking to my Trump-supporting, Tucker Carlson-watching, Candace Owens-fan boying brother the other day, and I was wondering about this dynamic I've seen in too many* Black people. To my eye, all three of those people openly advocate for white supremacy. Their approach to policing, music, social welfare, immigration, etc., all support that. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1dhk…cq4y @npub1928…zrrt @npub1uxz…5ma4 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1dy2…jgr2 npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG A Fediverse Green Book would be dope as hell. I lucked out with mine - universeodon - which I signed up for, mostly because George Takei was on it. And I'm figuring out which are other good instances by seeing the people on it, but I could have easily ended up on one of those racist-ass instances that I've since blocked if I wasn't careful. npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG @npub1zx6…pjhq npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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! npub1ty788ujy6cyt3y3x7uau93as52lw4g0d3efmzgu0atjqhtj2p46s0vnm4r Prof Kemi FG 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:
