Mahalo to friends at the Oʻahu Visitors Bureau for this beautiful book to celebrate Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language Month). It’ll get a lot of use.

Heroes. Wish my congressperson @liccardo.house.gov were as strong.

Some of the payments for my articles have gone a route similar to this.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

In my house, that thing would be GONE by now.

Evergreen message

“By removing writing from reporters’ workloads, we’ve effectively freed up an extra workday for them each week.”

Hey, sometimes writing a story is agonizing work, but it’s an essential part of our job.

I’d quit Meta platforms all over again if I could.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Absolutely spectacular performance (as well as detailed rundown thread). I hope more people from the U.S. learn that “America” isn’t just the U.S.

if you're using Gen AI to create, you're furnising your home with stolen objects and expecting praise for your design choices, expecting to be paid by others for filling their lives with stuff fenced out of an unlabeled box truck.

Exactly what I noticed, and then had to explain Calvinball (and the general comic) to the person sitting next to me on the plane, after I snort-laughed.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Congratulations! I can’t wait to read it!

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

No new pics, where are you at mentally:

The Cookie Theory of Collective Action Build community, bring snacks, and other tips from an occupied city

late-night reminder to get involved in some way and it even counts if you do something small like buying snacks or hand warmers or making cookies

take care of your community, bit by bit. it all adds up.

Recently read through a course catalogue and got so excited about some of the classes. It’s such a good feeling.

The Presidio of San Francisco is celebrating its 250th anniversary While much of the country’s attention will be on the East Coast to mark the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, another important moment will be marked on the West Coast.

Don’t discount the West during the 250th anniversary celebrations this year. Learn more about the history of the Presidio of San Francisco in my article for National Geographic.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I really want to buy one of these. They’re amazing!

If you didn’t make calls yesterday, it’s not too late to do so today. It won’t take long. You have time.
