No matter the outcome tomorrow-- the work remains the same. To touch and hold the coming years in warmth. To carry the brokenness in hands full of flavors, hearts in full color. The tending is the absolute. Ardor is the fire of meeting the day without going blank. #WarmData

Just roll w this rapid learning in the blur. The cancelling culture is the bile needed to dissolve. Like curdling milk - identities are losing orientation in a world of pixilating sturctures. Tumbling in the wave is no time to grasp for stability. This is what systems change is.

A call against ML-powered neo-phrenology, that I wholeheartedly support, with a list of well-known recent fails. Bullshit must be called. Particularly unethical and discriminatory bullshit. (Note: Springer announced that they will not publish the Harrisburg U. paper, after all)

IBM will stop selling its facial recognition technology amid nationwide protests for racial justice and police reform. The company cited fears that such technology could be used by police to violate "basic human rights and freedoms." trib.al/PR79pE2

It’s no secret that population genetics has roots in eugenics and scientific racism. But as a scientific community, we are skilled at avoiding the topic. Without confronting our history, we may continue to use eugenic frames of reasoning without realizing. genestogenomes.org/understanding-…

White supremacy won’t die until White people see it as a White issue they need to solve rather than a Black issue they need to empathize with.

@farmedjoy It means letting the Black and Indigenous people in the CHAZ begin shaping it. It means that white comrades there should check their privilege & do what is needed. Yes it's a day old, but planting this seed requires the right soil for it to grow. Decolonialism in every action.

What the pandemic shows clearly is how deeply we need science to deal with the facts, and how deeply we need spirituality to deal with the meaning of those facts. We must get past the broken cultural cognitive grammar that separates them.

As this thread indicates, there IS a path forward. It requires universal testing, including the seemingly “healthy.” All we need is a government capable of meeting its basic responsibilities to its people—which, at this moment, we do not have. But read the whole thread.
