Black folks only. Seriously, I only want to talk to black ppl on this: What is going on with #ShaunKing? Why would anyone with his influence & power go after other black cultural workers asking for his accountability like he’s doing? Something doesn’t smell right here to me
I get that no one wants to feel accused. I get it’s hard to be in the spotlight. But he knows what tagging & screenshotting folks like this will do. One is a black queer woman college student apparently? Anyone who uses their power in this way is suspect to me. #ISupportClarissa
To be clear this isn’t a quick smart @rgay style troll smackdowm, this is a public mini meltdown/tirade targeting other black activists...I just...What in the hell? Remember yall, I’m talking to #BlackTwitter here.

Interesting that @RunSwitchPR, the #Louisville PR firm helping the #CovCath #MAGATeens has its account on private right now. Perhaps, like #CovingtonCatholic school itself, they don’t want to deal with public backlash for protecting racist shitheads?

Who you work with matters. You are accountable for the effects of your actions & choices, even as a company. I hope folks think twice before hiring them.
This is the cover image on their Twitter account. It’s qwhite telling, no?

I was reading a story about the #MAGATeens from #CovingtonCatholic & there was this little tidbit about how the school has students add “born & unborn” to the end of the Pledge of Allegiance & I’m just like 😳😳😳
The pledge is already a weird nationalist throwback we force children to memorize & say, but then to alter it to add your religious beliefs about abortion...yikes. Every day I am grateful I made it out of that small town KY white Catholic community.
As a queer black woman, I knew that things I was taught in HS were wrong but was afraid to speak up. I just waited to leave & as an adult, I struggle to go back bc I see how many ppl actually believed the shit being shoved down our throats...or perhaps they swallowed willing.

Hiiiii. One small rant before I get to work regarding the #CovingtonCatholic students. (FWIW I went to a nearby Catholic school Newport Central Catholic & dated a guy at CovCath my senior year of HS so I grew up in this very area & community)
Reports claim black men were harassing the white students with “racist & homophobic slurs.” Let me make one thing clear f*ggot is a slur that has been reclaimed by some gay men but is not acceptable for use as an insult, especially from straight folks.
That said: White boy & cracker, ARE NOT RACIST SLURS. There are no racist slurs for white ppl bc white surpremacy is the structure of racism which aids rather than harms white ppl. No one was racist toward those kids. White men in #MAGA hats are the embodiment of racism.

Ds backing out of the Women’s March & ostracizing the AA activists involved in the march isnoy abt Farrakhan. Farrakhan is just the tool the establishment has decided to use to neutralize these women.
Farrakhan been around forever saying what he says & doing what he do. Suddenly, he’s mainstream news again. It’s all bullshit. Disparaging the characters of the Blk women involved in that march takes away their power & THATS what this is really abt.
However, many of us tried to warn AA women about trying to form a long-term alliance w/ elite white liberals. This story is as old as the struggle. We all know it. Use AAs for visibility, then stand in the way of them having actual influence & power.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

I've been thinking a lot these past couple years about "media," the "MSM", the "Main Stream Media", the fake news and the "Fake News", and how we got into this mess.
I've got some stuff I've got to research, but it's on my mind. Do you mind if I tell you about it?
2. It's really hard to criticize the more-legitimate media, in today's world, because the walking disease in the White House is subjecting them to an avalanche of stochastic terrorism, and they don't need to get beat up on.
But.
We have a problem that's not fake news.
3. And it didn't start this year. It's been growing, like a cancer on the body politic, for half my long life.
-please spare me the responses about how horrible it's always been.-
-I know we've always had problems.-
-perfection is not an option.-
It's gotten worse.

What you are watching the Left now attempting to do with Kanye West is very revealing.

They are attempting to use 'PC Cowboys' to ride herd on Kanye and 'guide' him back onto the Liberal plantation.
Straight out of the Marxist playbook, as adapted by the Frankfurt School academics to infiltrate/gain control of all communications in the public square.

Anyone who does not embrace The Glorious Revolution is either crazy or evil. Need either psychiatric treatment or prison.
Alternative viewpoints, political beliefs, or thoughts not in agreement with The Party's Official Statement are automatically false. Therefore they are not to be aired in the public square, and swift action is taken against anyone who deviates from the Party's script.

Okay So I just said “don’t invite me to submit” in another thread

and I want to talk about what I mean.

Every now and then I get invited to submit to conferences, based on my established work in the devops cultural space. This is great, I’m glad that you’re aware of me
At the same time, someone reaching out to invite me to _submit_ is … concerning.

It can easily be read as “our CFP revealed that we lack diversity and we are trying to improve our optics here”. That’s not great, but I’m not going to submit to be part of your “inclusivity” story
It can also be read as not knowing what I talk about. I give talks on tech culture, how tech culture functions and what we can do about it. If your conference wants that on the table as part of the line up…

why are you inviting me to submit? Just invite me to /speak/
