The Hard Times – Punk News Comin’ Your Way! [Unofficial]New OJ Simpson Biopic Will Focus On “The Juice’s” Life Up To June 1994
ShannonI know whitewashing in science is nothing new, but this plaque inside the Steele Ocean Sciences Building at Dalhousie University really got me feeling some kind of way today.
Humans didn't hunt the Gray Whales to extinction, colonizers did.
The final paragraph reads like they are putting a positive spin on the climate change caused by the very same extractavist, expansionism colonizer mindset that made them extinct in the first place. As if it all comes out in the wash.
I no longer attend dal, but when I did (over 10 years ago now), I had this idealized view of science, that it was based on logic and principles, that it operated outside of the complexities of the state snd politics. It is why I liked science. But now I see that it is not possible for science to be separated from power structures. The whitewashing was always there, I just didn't see it.

Nonilex“In 2025, book bans were not sparked by concerned parents, & they were not the result of local grassroots efforts,” Sarah Lamdan, exec dir of #ALA’s Office for #Intellectual #Freedom, said in a statement. “They were part of a well-funded, politically-driven campaign.”
Lamdan told AP that activists circulate lists of targeted #books nationwide.

johnsworldblogNO KINGS: Not Alone!
This past Saturday, I and about 40,000 other Philadelphians amassed at Ben Franklin Parkway here in Philadelphia for the 3rd No Kings Rally. Though I wanted to attend the first two, held in June and October of 2025, prior commitments prevented me from doing so. This time around, I was in town and available, so there was no way I was going to miss it. I wasn't sure what to expect at the rally, but what I experienced that day was something I didn't even realize I needed... These days, it's […]https://johnsworldblog.wordpress.com/2026/03/31/no-kings-not-alone/
Ms. Que BanhTake your #whitewashing BS - to a fucking laundromat. Those laundromat machines will care more about your BS white hurt feelings than I ever would.
AzarilhⓥDear white christian nationalists, did you know that your religion comes from Africa, not Europe?
Hypocrites.
🕵️old klezmers🎻I say it's archival malpractice because they're taking photos of real historical people and face tuning them to have clear modern looking photos to use as promo material, but in the process the person's face is changed. as Shaun pointed out here they turned Gabi Luncă into Carrie Fisher😭 not only whitewashing her but the doctored portrait is already coming up in google image search results for her name.

@@ginaintheburg @thejfreakinc It is my opinion that it is not illegal arrest but abduction.
And it is my opinion that you are whitewashing, bagatelizing and euphemizing their behaviour by calling it "illegally arresting" and "detained" instead of "abducting", and helping the perpetrators, siding with them and standing on their side and betraying the victim by doing so.
Would you say that a rapist abductor murderer "illegally arrested" and "detained" a woman or would you say that he "abducted" her?
