Tested the waters in 2016... returned in April 2022 with one or two other people. The avatar is an Earth Day photo from a few years ago on my campus. Header image is lifted from my Twitter cover photo.

I'm not as gone from Twitter as I'd like, not yet. And in spite of the Bluesky board's politics I'm active there too, @ harmonygritz.bsky.social. You'll find my longtime "rainbow" profile image there, for now.

disproportionately cited people of color for ‘’ in 2023, mirroring racist enforcement nationwide

> “Walking while Black” laws, first created in California in 1925 as a safety measure and lobbied by the automobile industry, are controversial due to racist enforcement and because they shame pedestrians while giving more protections to cars on the road

@BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon I live in a cluster of predominantly white towns (the Monterey Peninsula) and believe you me, most of the people jaywalking in this tourist-heavy microcosm are NOT people of color.

💛 “Why Black History Month 2024 is the Most Important Ever”

Black History is under attack, including attacks on Affirmative Action; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), continued voter suppression, and new laws designed to make voting harder for young people and minorities. This is in part to erase the history that created the need to address various wrongs.
—William Spivey

If anyone thinks this is old news, see what our Hoosier friends are up to. The Attorney General is trying to grow a corps of brown-shirts in Indiana schools:

Road Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” contained some stunning parallels to the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The remake, starring Timothée Chalamet, engages in the type of implicit racism that remains in the 1974 version of the novel (even after removing the more obvious racist elements). And, yet again, a white man plays , continuing the tradition of a white-savior-type character.

@TheConversationUS @blackmastodon There are sooo many white Dahl fans who are about to leap to Wonka's defense it's not even funny. (I say this from my perch as a Gene Wilder fan.)

P.S. to The Conversation: I tagged the actual group, and I hope that was your intent.
