"For millions of students passing through North Carolina’s public schools, learning from textbooks that never mentioned the deadly 1898 coup d’etat in their state, it was as though that event never happened. 'I took several courses on North Carolina history throughout my middle school and high school career,' Dr. Crystal Sanders, today a history professor at Emory University, told American Experience."

Teen Vogue continues to lead the revolution and people who devalue media aimed at teenage girls and young women at a time when their bodily autonomy is under attack can fuck off.

I am just glad that all that redlining stuff happened in the past and was done by our ancestors - we aren't responsible. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-takes-action-to-address-townstone-financials-unlawful-redlining/

@carpetbomberz so so crazy
@carpetbomberz I will have to try reading a few articles and replace the word -- I think it includes the group of people who think they are always one step away from being a rich person.
The objects of their embryonic faith have become the living a priori of the digital age — providing the conditions of possibility for our experience and our reflection, our genres of deliberation, our forms of sociality, and our institutions of judgement — regardless of whether or not the machines operate in the ways that we imagine. https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/let-us-calculate-leibniz-llull-and-the-computational-imagination/

"Radical" comes from Late Latin radicalis, from Latin radix, radic- "root", whose own root is Proto-Indo-European *wrād- "branch, root".
This is the same source as "radish" (=root) and "eradicate", which is from ex- + radix, radic- "root out".
A radical change is one that goes to the root of things.
