ULINE regularly donates money to people and causes that are skin-crawlingly evil, do not give them your money and tell others. They hide behind their ubiquity and nondescript name.

Folks whatever you do, do not buy your safety whistles from U LINE

And even the trainings tiptoe around "racism" and "bigotry" with "unconscious bias" as a catch all, and don't address behavior, harm and accountability. Going around their knees to get to their elbows to make the worst people comfortable.

To the point, a workplace training is an intolerable imposition upon their freedom, but they’re totally not like “y’know a Klansman or anything.”

In any other field a sign of good governance is leadership succession planning, but somehow in the actual government that's not the case. What's wild is that they stay so long they're completely disconnected from the public they originally signed up to serve.

"omg a school counselor!" "I can't believe he was treating patients!"

Yes. They've been playing out versions of these revenge fantasies in real life at their jobs & in their communities against actual people. An unchecked box here, a passed over promotion there. But that harm won't get a headline.

The public HBCUs in those states are also significantly controlled by the legislators and trustees. The good ol boy networks are still alive and thriving.

I’m sorry but this still pisses me off . It’s the whole de facto/ de jure distinction that I HATE

these people want credit for opposing something de jure while doing it de facto

It’s the inverse of the DEI pledges with the same commitment level

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

For the longest time I refused to read anything written in first person for this hinged reason. All of a sudden it felt like it was everywhere and usually was a HUGE red flag for terrible writing.

My main campaign hasn't had any movement for a bit. There are still quite a few gaps in my gear, and I still do foolish things like pinch pennies from my gig wages to purchase make or break essentials (this month that's a headlamp for suturing).

Every bit helps.

Winifred Tylenol Spice Burton @authorwinifred.blacksky.app · 28d

Oh Hai 👋🏿

If I can keep these gig contracts steady, the last 15% of this campaign (that I started in October 2022) will go to the bigger ticket items that I still need like neonate appropriate pulse oximeters, for ex., and my licensure exam fees.

This is what I came for.
