Happy #BlackFriday y'all.

In the spirit of this Friday's theme of #CivilRights, #Revolution, #Equality & #BlackPower, let's talk about a powerful and criminally unknown warrior for racial & gender equality, Pauli Murray.

Pauli Murray was queer, non-binary, and a brilliant trailblazer in so many areas. Pauli was a legal scholar whose writings influenced Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Pauli was the first African American to graduate with a doctorate from Yale Law, a cofounder of the National Organization for Women, the first African American woman to be ordained an Episcopal priest and was later elevated to Sainthood.

There's a documentary on Pauli's life on Amazon Prime. Here's an interview aboutit from its creators on Democracy Now!

This is genius Albert Einstein who refused to speak at white colleges and at the end of his life spoke exclusively at black universities
"The separation of races is not a disease of colored people but a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.

Wrote anout Thiel, SBF, crypto, AI, communism and libertarianism and pretty sure I got to the bottom of things. In 350 words, that's the good bit https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/17/whats-the-true-value-of-crypto-it-lays-bare-the-lies-of-libertarians-ftx

I think it's time for an #introduction! 👋 👍

I'm Lizzie, a clay and mixed media #artist and illustrator based in the UK with my partner and silly dog.

I make #art like these examples here and although I only take on commercial commissions (as everything takes so long to make!) there are various pieces available for sale over at my store.

I also make tutorials and process vids on YouTube if that's your kind of thing. 🎥

I'm looking forward to spending more time on here 😀

An astounding image of our moment at the precipice:

I think taoism is actually super duper helpful for doing anarchy. Inherently most people want to control the world arround them. But learning to adapt to chaos quickly puts the radical at a massive advantage in many conflicts.

Cops cannot handle situations where they haven't planned and have to adapt quickly in situations with little info. Going with the flow and going along will allow you to strike faster and evade better.

Authority will allways get trapped cuz they need to understand and trap the madness of the world. The ones who maniacally laugh and jump into situations which are unpredictable, make no sense and with maddening sadness will fare so much better in situations of chaos.

This year, scientists at RBG Kew described a new species of flower, Victoria boliviana, or the giant Bolivian water lily. Its leaves can grow to a staggering length of 3.3 meters across (over 10 feet). Kew researchers observed it in the wild & confirmed its status with DNA. But a dried specimen turned up in Kew's collection, where it had been sitting over 170 years. More here: https://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/top-10-species-2022

This is who Ed Mullins is. The guy who doxed the Mayor’s daughter for attending a George Floyd Protest—all while ripping off his fellow cops’ union dues. What a guy.

It’s still kinda wild to me, like kind of light pit 😁

I bought another reach extender and now I feel like God. You really can either hate yourself for years for being disabled, or acknowledge you could use some help

@Turntwo363 @BlackAzizAnansi When I was at Office Max a woman said to her kid, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, “This is why you go to college, so you don’t have to work at a cash register.”

I told her, “I have a bachelor’s degree.” And she shut her damn mouth.
