Signing out of this bird app since Apartheid Clyde made it a right wing nightmare. A sad day.

So Target is reportedly taking down Pride displays. Really forgetting how the lesbian target demographic is so strong it’s a cliche. Corporations are not your friends. Target better not put up a rainbow logo this year if this is true. You don’t cave to fascists.

The Four Tezcatlipoca are the rulers of the four directions and the days of the sacred calendar. They are thus the Lords of Time and Space, the children of Ometeotl, Who is All Existence

Hey everyone. About five minutes ago, I was laid off as part of the Disney layoffs. I humbly ask if anyone might be able to help me find a new place to land. Thank you.

Hey this is cool but you should have your physical drivers license on you whenever you’re driving because handing a cop your phone with your ID on is counts as consent for them to go through your phone 🫶

These companies silo each employee's issues and each incident, isolating them from each other, but then lumping them all as legitimate. These are not coincidences. This is a pattern. It is deliberate and effective. It is industry-wide; it is systemic. We must fight them.

The Library of Alexandria was a mere shadow of its former self when destroyed. The many libraries of Anahuac, specifically, Tenochtitlan, Tetzcoco, and Xochimilco, contained extensive records of prehispanic culture. The single greatest loss of knowledge ever in recorded history.

The Library of Alexandria had several fires due to war and religion; it was a great loss but their were other libraries. The Libraries of the Nahuas and the Mayas was systematic destruction of all their libraries..... of all books....

Eyewitness conquistadors wrote that Tenochtitlan was superior in many ways to European cities. Spaniards destroyed all Mexica (Aztec) codices. Not a single one survived. What is thought of now as Aztec codices, are colonial-era reconstructions.

In Tenochtitlan, there were places for codices on various subjects. Eyewitness Bernal Diaz describes one, "a whole house filled with large books." Others in surrounding city-states: the Nezahualcoyotl library of Texcoco (law & poetry) and the Xochimilco library (history).

Within my lifetime, nearly 80% of the fossil fuel CO2 + 60% of all GHG emissions have been released while wildlife populations have declined 70%. The profound climate and biodiversity crises we confront are just different sides of the same coin. Read more: scientificamerican.com/artic…

#Popocatepetl is spooking people as of late. Here's a watercolor I made long ago: xitter.gq/Itzcacalotl/status/142…

Quetzalcoatl over the Popocatepetl. A watercolor I painted 9 years ago. Back then I would always see the sunrise behind the Popocatepetl while in the school bus, which inspired me to draw this.

Necesité 3 cámaras y 48 horas en la misma posición sin levantarme a ir al baño para tomar estas fotos del Popocatépetl mientras hacía erupción, regálenme un RT aunque sea. #Popocatepetl

The uptick in twitter promoting tweets asking to see images of us, along with personal information as AI continues to grow is not lost on me. I’m personally going to refrain from participating in these image farming tactics/threads.

Exactly! That guy pretending to be an ASL translator’s pure trash! @Beyonce team need to hire a couple accessibility coordinators to meet the needs of her disabled fans. She can afford to hire them! I dont understand why that hasn’t happened yet. This is what @DeafTalentMedia do.

This is what it means to be a disabled Beyonce fan during #RENAISSANCEWorldTour. It's bittersweet since some of us have to enjoy the show and Queen Bey from TikTok due to ableism and inaccessibility. 😢 #DisabilityTwitter #BlackTwitter #BeyHive #Beyonce #BeyonceRenaissanceTour

When are we going to give Yvette Lee Bowser her flowers? She’s the first Black woman to develop her own primetime television series and gave us classics like Living Single, Half & Half, Sister Sister, and For Your Love. Sister Lee Productions changed the game for Black sitcoms.
