it was already naturally “democratized”.<br/><br/>#Technocapitalism and the Bad Future of Music | Adam Neely<br/>#History #Ethics #Culture #Community #Craft #Music #Arts #Science #Humanities #Ai #Fascism #BrOligarchy #Capitalism <br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8dcFhF0Dlk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8dcFhF0Dlk</a> 2026-02-02T23:52:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqcg6hcp3h2dsm4sh2qu7cg94ffs5n06f5mny73y4a7n98xyvfjwqzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvarhg7f The Pernkopf Atlas: Medicine&#39;s Most Controversial Book<br/>#SciShow #Science #Education #History #Ethics #Medicine #Anatomy #Surgery #MedicalIllustration<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VJfFZo1mPM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VJfFZo1mPM</a> 2026-01-30T01:53:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs87xkz5j4d87mx8ajvxg4hulu7vzmr7qf5q0edzf6smk95za7htegzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvzaddrz June Jordan, Too Black, and Insurgent Grammars<br/>#BlackFedi #BlackMastodon #JaredBall #JuneJordan #EricaEdwards #TooBlack <br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Li_53yFH88">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Li_53yFH88</a> 2026-01-27T00:07:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv0a7n7lc5x4aku03udds7xlnp2zq9669peztrugug4h73fn3gq4gzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvv9t78hh #Maduro will now stand trial in US Courts?<br/><br/>So it’s now the US Administration’s position that US Courts can hold Foreign Presidents, but NOT the US President, accountable for crimes.<br/>#Venezuela #US #TrumpRegime #Imperialism #Law #USLaw #InternationalLaw 2026-01-03T15:53:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg2ln4tca3jfyuz7wdafc46yat3egkcvygfs867a002un2hga8kxqzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvypqa80 White women living on their rural white reservations, their safe white spaces only care about #ReproductiveHealthcare and #MaternalDeath when they start being treated just like Black and Brown women have been treated for generations.<br/><br/>The Hidden Dangers Of Having A Baby (And Why It’s Getting Worse)<br/>#US #BlackMastodon #BIPOC #Politics #Project2025 #Oligarchy #Economics #Healthcare #WhiteWomensTears <br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZq94uLdj08">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZq94uLdj08</a> 2025-09-09T23:06:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgc6twh34zjw5d92y0w7rh942z4ds0rad3t2rer60elhd7pqs8hqgzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvv7a5hry The Potato Famine Could Happen Again<br/>#SciShow #Education #History #Science #AgriScience #Permaculture<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZjPmtP-bV0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZjPmtP-bV0</a> 2025-08-05T17:45:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs892lj0rpvpfva42eza3np8w6mhfhgyy2xz5ttczmqklkdlgh97cgzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvytdxfk Stop Believing the Lie<br/>Liberal white America has perfected the art of emotional manipulation ― making Black people believe that votes, yard signs, and slogans equal solidarity.<br/><br/>They Don’t.<br/>+ Solidarity is showing up when it’s messy.<br/>+ Solidarity is demanding justice when it’s unpopular.<br/>+ Solidarity is protecting Black life even when it risks white comfort.<br/><br/>When it comes to racism, liberal white people and conservative white people are on the same team.<br/>One just smiles while stabbing you in the back.<br/>The other does it with a snarl.<br/>#Fazer | #Medium<br/><a href="https://medium.com/@fazer4541/no-difference-between-a-white-and-a-white-conservative-when-it-comes-to-racism-6274c1dba1e4">https://medium.com/@fazer4541/no-difference-between-a-white-and-a-white-conservative-when-it-comes-to-racism-6274c1dba1e4</a> 2025-06-16T20:48:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszh3xj6ydtrw4krxztmd06tpr3v48nm2qqpflvt9kgtx4v6ynfmwszyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvdg3prx Black Hair Is (Still) Getting Banned<br/>#BlackMastodon #whiteSupremacy #History #Politics #Economics #Culture #Identity #Hair #NaturalHair <br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNNOcHqNFi8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNNOcHqNFi8</a> 2025-06-04T20:31:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspym8wear97fn8nx5qgncyj0ht4gn2klh2cfj755rc3vlc6xvq9cszyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvyqmjey The NOT so stealth #Neocolonialism<br/>“Empire of AI” w/ Karen Hao on How AI Is Threatening Democracy &amp;

Halfway there I noticed a young college age white girl following me. At a light I turned to look at her and she bolted, turned around and rode off.<br/><br/>When I came out of the grocery the same girl rode up and apparently assumed I didn&#39;t recognize her.<br/><br/>White people who act that crazy have almost gotten me killed before, so I smiled, spoke politely, and let her play out her little Karen drama of being so sly and superior as she politely insulted me.<br/><br/>This kind of thing has become routine here in the #SFBA with it mostly being women, though twice this year I&#39;ve had white men follow and interrogate me, photographing my registration number, absolutely certain my bike must be stolen.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve searched high and low across these 50 states and sadly the best I&#39;ve been able to do minding my own damn business is to trigger people enough to act crazy but not enough to get murdered, at least so far.<br/>#BlackMastodon #Karenicity #DyingOfWhiteness 2024-10-20T13:53:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf00ff3v5tkdhcju3vjk52juk46258tlg24w6mrehnpknk05m2h0qzyzk2c2gz43tpmc7lvedjzqlvtku5rcr07m5w3frxt9zvqzsvvslvvx0y40v My science fair project in 1969 was solar-powered electrolysis for desalination and hydrogen to power high-pass turbines for heavy transport aircraft.
