Racism denial at its worst:

"Blasingame opposes teaching about systemic racism & diversity, equity and inclusion, saying that they overemphasize the importance of skin color.

“They teach students that they are starting off behind & have unconquerable disadvantages that they will suffer all their lives,” she said. “Not only does this teach hate among people, but how could you love a country where this is true?”

The Go-Go Museum in Washington, D.C., opened last month. @thrillist took a look around the 8,000-square-foot place, which pays homage to artists like Chuck Brown, the "Godfather of Go-Go," shows the connection between the genre and tracks like Nelly's "Hot In Herre," and explores go-go's influence on fashion. “Having a museum that focuses on go-go and D.C. culture is important for the youth, specifically,” says HuffPost deputy editor and Washington Association of Black Journalists president Philip Lewis. “[It] dispels the myth that the only thing worth discussing in D.C. is what’s happening on Capitol Hill."

I wanna see how far i can take Ren'Py. (I'm not ready for pygame again. Idk. It was a lot before I learned python.)

I wanna see if I can make an rpg-like game with it. Small test elements. Just as an experiment. Typically being an artist, I should be working on my sprites and game graphics portfolio. But is that fun right now? 😐 or depression busting?

Continued thread

I probably could figure out hinges in a CAD program but... I have no 3d printer. That is a saddening thought.
I have a crocheted bag for my GBC right now.

I want the Nintendo Switch but... money. Sigh.

I have some artwork to finish first. But I want to mess with making a stardew valley like simulator in game maker or rpgmaker. Likely rpgmaker.

Why am I seeing white supremacist pro-Russia propaganda posted to #blackmastodon?

Marie LePen, right wing, white supremacist, found guilty of fraud and barred from running

Romanian 1st round of election results thrown out because a pro russia racist tiktok independent candidate made the 1st cut.

The German AfD is an anti-immigrant far-right party with an agenda of ending free elections.

The Slovakian "anti-war" Prime Minister's assassination attempt was after his visit to Russia to court Putin's influence to help destroy opposition parties.

Viktor Orban is a straight up dictator who has made Hungary the poorest nation in the EU while driving away foreign investment and his own educated citizens with right-wing laws and corruption.

And YES, Putin is a dictator and his propaganda machine relies on reposting nonsense like this.

Just finished the book Meta doesn't want you to read: CARELESS PEOPLE by Sarah Wynn-WIlliams. I don't normally read tell all books but this one is worth a read. You can get through it quickly as it isn't a difficult read. But if you have friends and/or family that use Facebook and they are still capable of any kind of critical thought you should buy them a copy of the book. It's chilling.
