  I'm nearly 70 and have been rereading the original Dune series since it was first published, and like Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea, I, a poly-ethnic Black woman, loved reading something high concept, something mythic, that for a rare change, was absolutely NOT Eurocentric. For decades I have been attacked for raising many of the points the video make about fans and later Denis Villeneuve’s white washing of Frank Herbert's Dune saga.

  For several years I've tried and eventually gave up any attempt for intellectually honest discussion about Elon Musk's idea, "cooling is actually much easier in space than it is on earth," an idea I've somehow heard surface every few years since the 1960s, and makes no more sense now, than then. That's it costs a lot to shed heat in the relative vacuum of space is only one of a litany of problems that 12 years old me figured out, even with out w...

  I am exhausted from being a suspect, exhausted from people who despite what they profess, behave as if performance and outward conformity is a prerequisite for honest affinity and unity. I meet so many cis and even some trans women whose feminism has morphed into a funhouse mirror of patriarchy with its sex and gender essentialism that I almost want to stop calling myself a feminist. Its as if sarcasm and cynical suspicion of others are the only benchmarks for intelligence, and there no longer...

  The “norms” of before that Utah Gov. Cox speaks of caused this state of affairs. #Trumpism and #MAGA are consequences of that belief system, not the architects of our discontent. MAGA wants to end #pluralism; it rejects an inclusive America, it embraces authoritarian rule, and it romanticizes a renewal of #JimCrow #culture that was never deconstructed and so never truly ended. I say that #Reconstruction always fails without preceding rigorous, honest #Deconstruction. Forget about “polarizati...

  Every few years I rewatch the 1976 film satire, #Network and wonder how we still ended up here after it and thousands of writers before and after spelled out in detail that we’d end up exactly where we are, only the privatized Internet switched us from airline speed to warp drive with instantaneous worldwide web connecting the global north’s Oligarchs into their own virtual superstate with we their vassals and serfs. #History #Media #Monopoly #FCC

  Why so much empathy for Indigenous people of the Americas, while not acknowledging that pattern of propaganda, colonial violence, and racial capitalism across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, et cetera? All non-white European are reduced to caricatures in these phantasmagorical European stories of lost civilizations and ancient aliens and persist in the popular imagination and multi-million dollar franchises to this day.

  I spent a lot of my childhood in a semi-rural Ohio Black community with very little contact with white people, so it always strikes me as odd to have Black folks who don't know me and with no direct experience with legal racial segregation judging the purity of my Black identity based on a standard of their homogenized, commodified urban Black identity financed by white money and sold worldwide.

  No mater how famous or wealthy, this is what every Black person, and especially Black women and children, can expect from the healthcare system anywhere in the US. A New Mexico jury awarded the family of Star Trek icon Nichelle Nichols $13 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, New Mexico. An expert informed jury ruled the hospital provided substandard care, failed to properly diagnose a treatable heart condition, and then discharging her h...
