How It’s Made: A 7,000-Word Story on Coal in Oakland “This is the only time in my entire life, I think, where I wrote long and someone was like, ‘Well, could you make it longer?’”

People said they wanted more culture pieces on Bsky, right? For COYOTE, I interviewed the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org and @meganwachspress.bsky.social for a behind-the-scenes account of how Megan's 7,000-word feature (!) on coal in Oakland came to be—a phenomenal work of longform journalism.

Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy Follow filmmaker Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers as she creates an intimate portrait of her community and the impacts of the substance use and overdose epidemic. Witness the change brought by …

her doc, Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy, is streaming for free via the NFB. it struck me as a really thoughtful look at how the overdose crisis is affecting people in the Kainai First Nation, and acts as an argument for harm reduction as a practice of care.

DOIs (or other PIDs) do not indicate any measurement of value, intellectual or otherwise, to the data/information/knowledge within. It is akin to claiming page numbers are a measure of quality in a print publication.

It’s tiring that we are increasingly stuck organizing our intellectual lives around arguing for the value of having an intellectual life

That the House of Lords is one of the oldest ongoing institutions should be enough evidence for any mistrust or scepticism of institutions and institutionalisation.

fascists will leverage the aesthetics of capitalism as propaganda only to reveal they were just as empty as their politics, which are just "i have a big gun and a devastatingly fragile ego; you must deal with both"

I am 💯 for moving away from USA tech, but please don’t fool yourselves that tech built elsewhere will be ethical.
If you don’t believe me pls look at edtech globally. Schools are using software like Bromcom or Arbor or Bluesky ( not this one) that is built with just as little care or privacy.

The Pro-Human AI Declaration The Pro-Human AI Declaration

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org
