re: historical racism
@ljwrites yeah he's a really interesting interview subject, because he's very unwilling to say anything that would come off as...challenging? But at the same time he very clearly spent his entire time in academia challenging racist systems & advocating for black students so there's just shadows like this line everywhere where you can infer a lot of the stuff he's not quite willing to actually openly accuse the university of
@mythologybot alright curse breaking via royal titty milk is a new one for me
historical racism
@ljwrites its slightly clearer in the full context — this is the middle of a ~3 hour interview I’m processing
historical racism
@ljwrites order of appointment to the committee — so he was either the last guy or literally added after they realized they’d filled all the seats with white people
historical racism
A professor discussing his appointment to a committee meant to promote equity for black students on campus in the late '60s: «I was 21 or 22 on a committee of 21, I was the only Black person in the room»
@aescling japan has excellent taste in flowers, as always
kidposting, language, autism thoughts
@ljwrites ugh yes you are almost certainly right about all of this :/
Since society is so verbally dominated there is certainly a logic to encouraging at least baseline fluency, but all kids should have choices about how they communicate & be given the tools that work best for them!
@Lady what does the uu have to do with British pride

@ljwrites i mean obv this shouldn’t be your primary mechanism for deciding whether or not to utilize it *anyway*, tater’s needs & comfort should come first
kidposting, language, autism thoughts
@ljwrites i’m not up on the research but my understanding was AAC normally aids verbal speech development rather than hindering?
@Lady may as well go all in and add W too

@kiesa yeah molasses definitely isn’t for everyone! I’m sure you’ll figure something out :)
I don’t think it’s too common outside of PA, but its easy enough to make if you ever decide to try it. I’m a big fan even tho its generally regarded as a bit old fashioned these days

@kiesa shoofly pie is very cakey, if eldest child likes molasses?

does anyone use ko-fi (specifically to sell with the shop feature) and is it any good? i'm considering switching from etsy to ko-fi soon due to the coming etsy fee increase. boosts would be great :)
@CarlCravens@mastodon.xyz for games with autosave I think they legitimately don’t expect anyone to save & quit (this is a bad assumption imo) and then everyone else just follows the design logic…bc thats what the big shiny games are doing? Idk its annoying
PNW ecosystem question
@Lore ah in that case I wouldn’t worry too much — it’s very hard to kill off!
PNW ecosystem question
@Lore from what I understand, it’s benefits are that its sturdy & low growing, which makes it a good ground cover and its flowers provide nectar to bees. Nice enough characteristics to have in a plant, certainly, but there are lots of native plants that will do both of those things & also be better suited to the local ecosystem.
