I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

My periodic shout into the void:

The only reason why anyone cares about anyone's gender is cuz the whole of society is based around assigning human rights based on gender (&societal privileges to the "better" genders)*

*terms and conditions apply,worse in some societies than others,but all do this

When I asked him what he makes of the cognitive science research, he told me he thinks scientists focus too much on word recognition. He still doesn't believe accurate word recognition is necessary for reading comprehension.

"Word recognition is a preoccupation," he said. "I don't teach word recognition. I teach people to make sense of language. And learning the words is incidental to that."

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.

I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?

He dismissed my question.

"The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense."

I'm so confused about what he's actually upset about. The app is the only way I access this website. Tf does he think people are doing when they're not sat at a computer?

A set of three creatures is participating in the arts.
They are blue lizards with white and golden robes.
One is playing a stringed instrument, one is painting on a canvas, and one is writing in an alien tongue, on pages and pages sprawled upon the floor.
The background setting is a table, gilded with intricate designs, and covered in various artist-related tools, such as a paint pallette, a pen and pencil, a ruler, scrap paper, a sheet of music, a disk, some rosemary, some flowers.

I returned to our home and found it completely destroyed. My family and I are now homeless and will be living in tents. I am heartbroken by what happened to us. My heart broke when I saw our home. 😔💔

I need you now. Don't forget to support us through GFM to restore some hope.

Ironic to convey respect without respecting us enough to use imagery that shows that respect but to also NOT EVEN bother to get the holiday right. 🙄

Anyway, if you're here, I have two articles on Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Native Survival Depends on Protecting Both Tribal and US Citizenship Rights

Trump’s attacks on Native sovereignty and citizenship are a deliberate effort to undermine the rights of tribal nations.

And just look at this community building! The joy and care that these Jingle Dress Dancers showed in being able to teach others about our dances and cultures. Everywhere you went that day, people had a real desire to learn and showed incredible respect. It was beautiful!

I shared this video through @redpopnews.bsky.social about the Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration at the Getty because it was beautiful to share our cultures and to be appreciated for who we are as Native people beyond the Hollywood tropes and Stereotypes and not as relics of the past.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day of ALL Days, folks should be super mindful and take time to learn and listen to Native People. We are NOT YOURS, NOT YOUR MASCOTS AND NOT THESE STEREOTYPES.

So let me see if I understand Mike Johnson, me attending the “No Kings” this weekend make me “hate America”, and “pro-Hamas”. I say to him eat shit!! I served this country in the military for over 20 years. I consider protesting the basis of why I served.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

A little frustrating that bsky moderation prevents us from seeing violence like this

Interaction between Derek Guy and Matt Stoller on X, the Everything App. Stoller: "Your weird insecurities aside, you consistently lie that native born Americans can't and never have made clothes, and push offshoring in sleazy ways. Then when confronted you have to talk about your left wing views. You're slime." Guy replies: "not true. i've been writing about and promoting US-made clothes for about fifteen years. an early article that comes to mind is my love for 3sixteen jeans, which are made in los angeles. that was published in 2011, the year the second iraq war ended, a war you promoted."
