I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.
Oooh, and then what happened, JD?

I've seen the past exonerative tense before, but the present continuous exonerative tense is special!

"Black women's unemployment is rising."🀑

All by itself? Magically?

The entire US, Dem and GOP, is going on close to 24 months straight of being publicly and loudly anti-civil rights (anti-DEI).

"Black women are more likely to work in the departments targeted by DOGE."

is like saying,

"Harbor seals are more likely to be found swimming in the water that happens to be rushing into a great white shark's rapidly opening mouth."🀑

Dudes have been open and vocal about their desire to drive Black women out of leadership positions in the federal government, higher education, and private industry. That's their goal.

And yet, we still talk about these outcomes as if they're just an unfortunate side effect of generalized downturns.

"America has been vaccinating people for fifty years. If vaccines caused autism, America would have trains, okay? We would have so many trains." - Jon Allen
The painful truth.

Stop using the fascists’ language. Using their words enables them and normalizes the atrocities.

They have branded the concentration camp β€œAlligator Alcatraz” so DO NOT CALL IT THAT. I choose to call it #AligatorAuschwitz.

Not ICE: stormtroopers or secret police
Not DoJ: Gestapo

They’re not β€œillegal” aliens they are merely undocumented.

Every word they choose is done deliberately. Do not comply.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in a one-room country gravy log cabin in Kentucky. His childhood was marked by hardship, including the death of his mother when he was nine, and he had limited formal education, but he was encouraged to read and learn by his family.

This year I listened to over 2200 songs.

3/

My top song for the year is Versvs Christvs by Behemoth. Apparently I listened to this one song for over 43 hours this year, which seems perfectly reasonable to me. Magnificamus te.

4/

All of my top 5 songs this year were by Behemoth. To be fair, I think my to 50 were, but the report only shows the top 5.

5/

I wonder why my year's genre cloud is dominated by the words "black" and "metal." Just one of those mysteries, I guess.

6/

I listened to 109 different artists in 2024. This is pretty typical for my listening habits on Plexamp. My "artists per year" numbers of Spotify were often near or over 1,000 because Spotify was constantly pushing at me crap I would never want to listen to. When I filter out the garbage (artists with very low listen counts and durations) the number is much closer to 100 than to 1,000.

7/

My top band of 2024 was Behemoth? I'll bet no one saw THAT coming!!

8/

Although Behemoth is my current musical obsession, I do listen to lots of other music. Tiamat is a decades-long favorite, while Schammasch is a new-to-2024 discovery. Who knows where they'll show up next year?

That's what I have so far. I'll probably keep tweaking the solution throughout the year, but I'm pretty pleased with how this came together... and today is pretty much the last day I can share a 2024 retrospective without feeling like I missed a deadline somewhere.

9/

Even though it's not super relevant for today, I also love the ability to compare and contrast different years. But am I including these screen shots to show off my report, or as evidence that I do actually listen to music other than Behemoth?
