"The NHL likes to call Willie O’Ree the Jackie Robinson of hockey. And no one can deny how significant it was when he became the first Black player on the ice in an NHL game in 1958.  But what the league doesn’t like to talk about is what happened next.  Because after O’Ree, the NHL didn’t admit another black player for sixteen years. So did the NHL resegregate? And why don’t we talk about the experiences of the players who broke hockey’s second colour line?" https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/hockey-3-iced-out/ #Hockey

#Africa and the Global South must also have an opportunity to grow, says Biden, calling the #China #BRI a "dead-end confiscation program."

This is how to treat Billionaires:

I may not be a great chemist but I think I could organise the Periodic Table a bit better. Alphabetical for example....

I do wonder sometimes how many mainstream web sites are just loosely held together with the digital equivalent of sellotape…

We’ve long known that gerrymandering, a blatantly racist tactic, has weakened Black Americans' electoral voice and ability to fairly participate in our democratic system.

Today’s #SCOTUS decision is a victory for Black Americans, for voting rights, and for our country.

Amazon prices will be increasing on June 20th. Which means authors have to increase prices too, just to keep a profit.

So, yanno, now would be an excellent time to grab print copies, if that’s your thing.

I'm seeing a lot of differing opinions from the #LGBTQ Mastodon community about Pat Robertson dying.

While I certainly have no sympathy for the man, I find it absolutely grotesque how many people are going out of their way to celebrate his death.

Relief and indifference are acceptable responses. But if a human being dying elates you, you might be due for some serious introspection, because that seems to me to be the first step down a very dark path.

To dehumanize our enemies is to become them.

HEY. important!

if you've seen and considered buying OTC Estrogen alternatives from QueerQuirk on Twitter, PLEASE be aware that they are fash. they changed their handle and unfollowed their transphobic accounts. the pills they advertise even has a main active ingredient that increases testosterone.

the whole thing is a scam to get the personal info of trans women, and ship them, if anything, something that reverses any gains made by their meds so far. do NOT engage.

Our planet is on fire and Republicans are concerned about what bathrooms people use.
