There's a lot about being a middle aged woman that really really sucks. But I have to say, this whole not-giving-a-fuck thing is exhilarating.

Someone just called who wanted to build a small shipping container apartment building. I asked why and he said because it was so cheap and when I pushed back on this he got mad at me and decided to call someone else. You are talking to the wrong guy pal.

At the same time that U.S. officers were subjecting poor Haitians to forced labour schemes (they reintroduced the corvée system), Haitian culture was being sensationalised, distorted and commodified in order to sell theatre tickets.

This is a good thread. Will add white supremacists have had fever dreams about Haitians ever since the Haitian revolution over 100yrs before this. You see it in literature, philosophy, policy, pseudoscience across the west as europeans grappled w/ fear of losing bloodily to those they subjugated

I have been tracking this today. Over on Twitter a member of the neo Nazi group Blood Tribe, which has marched against the Hatians and worked to inflame tensions in Springfield, is actively doxxing and threatening their critics in the town. It's simply stunning what is permitted by Elon.

Maybe it's a coincidence that we've been seeing bills like these popping up across the midwest at the same time that conservatives have become obsessed with birth rates

Eating goulash while watching The Woman King (finally!). A good ending to a long day.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

From the surveillance of social media to the predatory plagiarism of ChatGPT!

‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says Pressure grows on artificial intelligence firms over the content used to train their products

It should not go unnoticed that the very same billionaires conducting the Plagiarism Crusade against non-white, female university presidents have their entire life savings tied up in a Plagiarism Machine.

Predatory capitalism

Big up yourself Creative!
