A school in #NewMexico says it will be reviewing its #graduation ceremony attire policy to include more #cultural elements.

This comes after a recent incident involving an #Indigenous student whose beaded grad cap was taken away by two school staff members.

@msquebanh Farmington, where this incident occurred, is in one of the more “red” counties in Nee Mexico. At the same time, the county includes part of the Navajo Nation and has a great many Native residents, so you’d like to think they’d already had some awareness of Native cultures.

I have some #GenZ coworkers and was telling them about how we used to take our car stereo face plates with us when we left the car back in the days when stereos weren't integrated into the dash and you wanted a nice one.

They were very amazed. So I made this meme.

@renwillis Never had a car stereo like that, but I sure do remember those days.

I just made a giant batch of chilli purely to use all the tins of beans, and fridge veggies... but I had no Kidney Beans just Cannellini Beans, so is it even a chilli any more?

@andycarolan Still chili! When I was still an omnivore, I did make a chili recipe with chicken and cannellini beans. I think it also used poblano chile peppers. So the point is that it’s fine to use whatever beans you have!

Meanwhile, in Well That Sucks news. Target is not placing pride merch in a bunch of high risk stores now. The bullies won.

And, it seems they are pulling non-Pride LGBTQ+ themed merch it did have in those stores as well. So maddening and frustrating.

While I get protecting teammates, 100%, these moves only embolden the bigots. 😞

@renwillis @itty53 Having spent a few years in retail in the past, I agree with you 100%. I just wish that Target and other big corporations would stand up against this sort of nonsense, but they won't. And yes, it definitely emboldens the bigots.

@skinnylatte My own observation would be that there is definitely racism in California (SF included, of course). However, it's usually nowhere near as in your face and blatant as this situation. People are a lot more sneaky about it.

Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.

@mekkaokereke We always hear right-wing types telling us that we can't "throw money at the problem" to deal with societal ills. I think the amount of money we spend on police is itself a case of "throwing money at the problem," and it's clear that that money is being misspent judging by the results!

We know that trust in the NHS has been dealing for some time.... and it would seem likely that increasing waiting lists would be a significant contributory factor to that decline.

However, new research by a team including an ex-PhD student of mine, has concluded that actually the Q. of waiting lists is immaterial to declining trust in the NHS, rather the key variables are socio-political (ethnicity, age, working situation & party affiliation).

All these people talking about how Biden is too old and it’s like y’all this is literally what VPs are for.

I am not a Biden fan, but this is a poor criticism of him (don’t be ageist!). If his age really becomes an issue Harris can just take over. I’m just not seeing how this is a big deal.

StanWonn,
@StanWonn@mstdn.social avatar

@sidereal You’re absolutely right here. And the ageism really grates on me, particularly when it seems obvious to me that Biden is actually pretty sharp mentally as compared to his opponent.

I'm getting SUPER tired of the moderate left freaking out when the progressives criticize Biden.

Yes. Trump is worse. So yeah, I'm voting for Biden (I don't really have a choice), but I don't want to live in a country where I can't criticize our leader when they do stupid shit.

IF WE DON'T CRITICIZE PEOPLE IN POWER, THEY DON'T IMPROVE, Y'ALL.

The year is 2025. Instead of having newscasters, mainstream media channels now permanently display the president's age on the screen, down to the millisecond. Every minute a voice announces that the president is now a minute older than they were a minute ago. Somewhere in the world, bombs are being dropped on a country you've never even heard of. The headline on the screen reads "The president is now three times as old as the world's oldest dog".

StanWonn,
@StanWonn@mstdn.social avatar

@lowqualityfacts You mean they aren't already doing this? Because it sure seems that way to me. Biden might be old, but I think it's far more likely that Trump will be the first one to the memory care facility.
