But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

Spilled coffee on myself this morning in the train. I had a tiny mess to clean and a spot of red on my wrist, instead of a lawsuit to pay for skin grafts. I am naturally re-listening to vintage YWA

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

Indonesia’s shift to cleaner cooking fuels has greatly improved air quality and health—

In 2000, less than 10% of the population in Indonesia had access to clean cooking fuels. This is now over 90%, as the chart shows.

OMG. One of my favourite Holmes stories, I always tear up at the ending. @tiger-daniels.bsky.social has done it again!
Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - "The Yellow Face." Was fun to make a kid's scene, especially the little school desk. Clues include a twice-mended pipe, a mask, a glove, a check for £100, and a photo locket. #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #dollhouse #victorian

Endlich lese ich das Buch "Das fliegende Klassenzimmer" von Erich Kästner. OMG, aber es ist unerträglich süß 🥹 Ich nehme es alles zurück, Deutsch ist eigentlich eine romantischer, poetischer Sprache. Buch 3 für meine 60-Buch Herausforderung dieses Jahr! #booksky #Deutschebücher

Oooo im reading this right now!!
I've never been a big mystery reader but since I'm apparently a mystery writer now, I figured I should read more of them. 🤷 Not sure this was the best one to start with but by the end I'm glad I did. It was a good read once I got past the first bit where it jumped all over the place.

So I just read "A wrinkle in time" and it feels like a Frankenstein monster made of bits of Coraline, The Magicians Nephew, Dr. Who, and Animorphs #26. And the whole weighs less than the sum of the parts, god is this an underwhelming book #booksky

Ok so I always thought Steve and Miranda from #SATC were a great couple and now The Financial Diet have convinced me Steve and Debbie were a good couple and Miranda should have ended up with Blair Underwood's character and frankly we should ALL end up with Blair Underwood

Today I told someone that using AI to solve a certain problem is like dropping something in the dark and then looking for it under a street light because you can see there.

I stand by this. "Here's this solution with AI, gimme a problem to fit it to"

“I love you – not just your body but everything that is you. I love you deep down, past flesh, where your soul burns like a flame.”

John Ostrander wrote a transgender character in 1987. And while parts of the story are sensationalized for Grimjack’s adventure, underneath is care and understanding.

What if the thing you can do about it is complain?

Sometimes you only get shit done if you're such a pain in the neck about it people do what they have to just to shut you up. Annoyance can be weaponized.
Wow, why didn't anyone think of this before
