i don’t think blanket shunning is the way to go (have we learned nothing from religious deconstruction?) but also white people are the ones who need to step up and do the direct work of rehabilitation, not ask our siblings of color to take more hits in the movement’s name.

my takeaway from current debate on how to treat right-wing defectors (accept vs. shun) is just that we all play different roles. some are willing and able to be landing pads and guardrails for these people; others, especially the most harmed, focus on their existing work.

it’s actually a little known aviation regulation that every seat on a plane must be within earshot of someone who has the wettest cough known to man

why is it so unreasonably warm inside every building in baltimore

people who let doors slam, i am burning a hole through your cervical spine with my laser eyes

i guess it’s suspicious to bring a 700-page paperback to the airport… tsa flipped through my whole book. i thought they pulled my bag for the knitting needles.

at work we're trying to figure out how to make white people with self-reported high racial literacy be more humble about reckoning with the ways that white supremacy appears in our lives and minds and i'm THIS close to proposing that we just put this image at the top of every session

“why do you hate technology” as though “technology” were some discrete entity divorced entirely from the context of what it does and what it creates, rather than a category so broad as to constitute reality itself

such a lovely thing to think about

i've found exactly one and it's unidirectional from usb-c to mini displayport. which is not the direction i need.

so sorry for still using a computer from 2017 that doesn't have usb-c ports

i'm gonna lose it folks, i'm trying to connect the mini displayport on my laptop to either the usb-c or mini hdmi on my new monitor but i can't find a damn cable or adapter that does this

apparently i write “creachure” enough that it’s in my phone dictionary now

me to a hungry brit: get thee to a flummery!

this thing of “it’s actually so complicated” is so exhausting! you’re never allowed to come to a conclusion because doing so is somehow proof you haven’t considered it enough!

remember when everything was possibly cake and we were driven mad by the possibility that everything was cake? don't you wish everything was possibly cake now instead of probably ai? we were such fools to squander a cake-based reality.

this rewatch is the only thing sustaining me as i rip out half a mohair sweater.

i can’t believe that leverage season 5 was created in a lab (writers’ room) specifically to fuel my unending obsession with the ot3.
