I’ve been working on this for 2 years. There have bumps along the way, crazy drama that could be in a soap, but the time is now. Help me build a freedom school. Help me fight fascism:

I signed the contract, so I will do it. Also I think this will be necessary work for my mental health.

I want to alt-text as well as NASA alt-texts. I want to compete @roguenasa.altgov.info @nasawebb.extwitter.link

If I am able to launch my Freedom School Wake Productions I promise I will hire a social media person to alt-text all the Social Studies materials I post. A reason to donate to my Kickstarter! I can teach Social Studies to one and all but I don’t have the spoons (or eyesight) to alt-text.

This is a civil war. We have been and are currently in a civil war. I can’t believe I am writing a book about the Civil War while we are having one.

Even more outrageous is the indifference of news media and the supposed opposition party.

Absolutely insane that the President of the United States has sent militarized secret police to attack multiple American cities, all at the same time.

"Redman said the initiative is part of a centuries-old relationship with the British Crown and Indigenous allies, noting that the nation never ceded its land or jurisdiction."

"“It’s a very distinctive and powerful world-class application of an old Indigenous order of operations.”"

This makes me so happy. After learning so much about the vast trade networks across Turtle Island in pre-colonial times, the thought of their revival brings me joy.

And more Eat The Rich with the fall of the Classic Lowland Maya. You would think elites would learn the dangers of extreme income inequality

His analysis of origins of Patriarchy is not convincing. 12% average size difference is not an explanation. But I’m liking most of this book.

Dr Rebecca Hall I’m Spartacus! @wakerevolt.bsky.social · 6h

It is wild though because I can’t for the life of me figure out his discipline. He is not a historian. The sources include vast databases I didn’t know existed. And his methodology is very social science, like that horrible Sapiens book, but opposite arguments. #AcademicSky

But it could have been a mass uprising. Not just random Sea Peoples.

I don’t have it in me to alt text all that. Is there an app yet?

I’ve been reading Goliath’s Curse; The History and Future of Societal Collapse by Luke Kemp. It is actually pleasure reading for me right now because it re-frames collapse. It’s like the history of collapse for the 99%. Here he describes the infamous Bronze Age Collapse.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

for everyone who says that Texas cities like Austin are all super liberal and will protect queer people, well, turns out they won't do that if the Governor threatens their road funding.

absolutely shameful of these cities to capitulate so brazenly for selfish reasons.

I have rounded up everything going on re: rainbow crosswalks in Texas. Galveston became the first city to remove theirs this week. Houston and Austin say they'll get rid of theirs, and San Antonio and Dallas are holding firm: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

These Texas cities are getting rid of rainbow crosswalks
