L.J.'s Restless Brain Syndrome

Arresting Jewish people for protesting... on Passover. You gotta wonder at what point the people involved have their "Are we the baddies?" moment. (Kidding of course, it'll be literally never.) zeroes.ca/@hannu_ikonen/112327

Pesah, Israel, Palestine 

Day 2: I'm looking at linktr.ee/fundsforgaza , which I heard of because someone on here shared it - thank you and sorry I don't remember who to give credit.

The idea of that list is to concentrate resources a bit so that some of the long (so fucking long, there is so much misery being created right now) list of "get my family out of Gaza" fundraisers have a chance of actually raising enough to get anyone out. So on each day that I don't have a more specific, personally connected action in mind, I'm picking one of the fundraisers here and sending USD100 to it.

Pesah, Israel, Palestine 

I want to post some more reflective things about the occasion too, but I don't think I'll have time to today. I've been doing bits and pieces to support the local Palestine solidarity movement, and stepped that up for the holiday with a pretty big role in organising last night's seder with instagram.com/thetzedekcollect and the more public one the local IJV chapter will be putting on next week: instagram.com/thetzedekcollect

So for now I'm just going to share this poem: auroralevinsmorales.com/red-se

22 years old and more relevant than ever. Please, please may we realise the world in which, as Levins Morales puts it, there is
"No more taking turns on history's wheel,
trying to collect old debts no-one can pay."

Pesah, Israel, Palestine 

It's pesah. This is the Jewish holiday with the most meaning to me. Reckoning with its message is what brought me back into a relationship with my own culture, having been driven away hard by the mixture of conformism, Zionism and grasping-at-white-privilege I grew up with.

But it's also all about symbolism and fairly general statements of intent, at a time when a colonial government is starving two million people to death in my name. So this year I've resolved to add the concrete action of making a donation to Palestinian causes on each of the 8 days, and I invite you (Jewish or not) to join me in this.

I just started with a very personal one: ko-fi.com/ahmedsaad94 is a friend-of-a-friend, raising money to get himself and the surviving members of his family out of Gaza. If you can afford to give, please do. Whether it ultimately gets some people out or helps them rebuild lives, it will make a material difference.

This is an absolutely brilliant and inspiring piece on #scientists, who we are, where we work and what we do in @nature - really demonstrates the diversity of #science - and importantly the people who do it.

I hope it's not behind a paywall.

Cass review 

Cass telling queer groups they're right and her official government report is wrong is like a white person apologizing in DMs for being racist in public.

erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass

It's sorta nice to see she's reached the finding-out stage quite this quickly, but is that going to save a generation of trans kids from avoidable misery? Rights taken away overnight take much longer to acquire again.

My "day job" is working at the Flickr Foundation helping nurture and grow Flickr Commons. We're approaching a milestone, re-opening the doors to Flickr Commons, a collection of photography all of which have no known copyright restrictions, open since 2008 and comprised of nearly two million photos.

Do you work for a GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) institution that might want to be part of it? If so, please read our main post and send us your details. 🤩

Not even 24 hrs after making history as the first company to mass fire workers for pro-Palestine protests, by summarily firing 28 people, Google announced that the “(ir)responsible AI org,” the one they created in response to firing me, is now reporting up the Israeli office, through an SVP there.

Seems like they want us to know how forcefully and clearly they are backing this genocide.

Just got email from Sundar telling us that (paraphrasing) building AI is way more important than worrying about genocide, so everyone should pipe down.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, him and this company.

📢 New preprint: Urban highways are barriers to social ties: arxiv.org/abs/2404.11596

We overlay the highway network with a massive, geolocated online social network (Twitter 2012), and measure how social ties are impacted by highway segments. We find a strong barrier effect in all 50 considered US cities. See below - the red squares show that this effect is stronger for short distances.
