In Hawaii, July 4 is not a joyous occasion for some residents. This is because July 4 is also the day a group of businessmen self-declared the Islands to be the Republic of Hawaii in 1894, before imprisoning Queen Liliuokalani. Later, July 4, 1960, was chosen as the day the 50th star was added to the U.S. flag.

“July 4th is a painful reminder of the aloha aina warriors who are no longer with us” https://www.sfgate.com/hawaii/article/us-july-4-hawaiians-want-independence-sovereignty-18183209.php

Of all these new apps, Spill seemed to win the weekend. Founded by Black ex-Twitter employees, Spill’s goal is to build a social platform for diverse communities from the get-go, rather than as an afterthought. The app launched in a closed beta just a few weeks ago, but according to Spill, over 100,000 people downloaded the app this weekend. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/03/twitter-competitors-soar-after-yet-another-bad-musk-move/

@wjmaggos Huge fan of FOSS as I worked for Mozilla/Firefox not too long ago! AND I will always advocate for safe spaces. I deserve to be somewhere where I feel welcome and safe. Coming together with larger groups typically means I will be susceptible to some sort of bias. I don’t have to endure that for the greater good. I don’t owe that to anyone. I am the steward of my own online experience.

@wjmaggos Good faith discourse typically results in minoritized people enduring the well meaning commentary of others and having our views and tone policed, etc. Minoritized folks seeking safe spaces online is not what has our democracy in peril. It’s white supremacist ideology and so much more. Respectfully, this is my last comment on this, but good topic for others on mastodon✌🏾

@wjmaggos ah yes, I really appreciate that acknowledgment!

Still processing the news of the Supreme Courts decision on Affirmative Action. I worked at Harvard for almost 4 years, much of that time was spent in the Office of the President, on the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion team. My mom is a Harvard grad and so is my husband. That said, I have a deep appreciation and respect for Harvard and all those who work in higher ed. My heartaches but I felt comforted by President Elect Claudine Gays words to current and prospective students, “you belong here”.

“But the alt space — both in music and fashion — has often felt unwelcoming to Black creatives. Despite pioneering alternative Black artists such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who fused gospel with her electric guitar as early as the 1930s to earn the moniker “the godmother of rock ’n’ roll,” and the daring, dramatic look and sound of Little Richard in the ‘50s, alternative popular culture has been dominated by White people” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/style/the-black-girls-reclaiming-alternative-fashion/index.html

Transgender rights are increasingly under attack in the United States, despite studies showing that the majority of Americans don’t want laws limiting transgender rights. But politicians on the right, who have long used gender and family issues to appeal to conservative voters, are now trying to reach broader audiences with anti-trans rhetoric. #ourbodypolitic https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/our-body-politic/id1533069868?i=1000618133999
