i am in Kansas, drinking at a bar owned by a transfemme,
about a tenth of u out there get it. you know. we are everywhere and everywhere is our home
but: we're out here in ways some of you cant conceive, because u think us flyovers are living and loving in either 1980 or 1880

Office fire drill always a treat because the person who gives the safety procedures spiel has the thickest Brooklyn accent and I could listen to that dude say “warden” all day long

i say this to my students a lot and am always surprised when they find it discouraging rather than exciting. no one cares as much as you do whether you write that book! you can write it however you want!

Gotta be honest: don’t love it when people joke knowingly with me about the *annoying* kind of nonbinary person like it’s a bit we’re in on together, *you* know the ones, not you obviously,

I genuinely don't even think we should be getting into a history of how long Muslims have been in this country. Don't debate racists. Of course Muslims belong here. The assertion that they don't is stupid, and I'm not going to dignify it with evidence like we're in a legitimate debate.

I remain fascinated by people who are 100% all-in on using LLMs at their jobs (and telling everyone that they're doing it) and who appear to have never paused to consider "what value am I personally adding in here, at this point, and why do I think my employers won't eventually figure this out"

Remember: In public facing social media, you don't know shit about DIY hormones, you don't feel qualified to comment on them, and neither do I. If a journalist asks you about it, you don't know shit and you don't feel qualified to comment.
"But surely you can agree that-" nope. No comment. Zip it.

Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

Wait, I just found some clips online.
That's... look, I'll take Griffith at his word that he wasn't trying to seem borderline-fanatically bigoted, but really man; this could have used a second draft.

Was it just impossible to find mixed-race extras back then? All of these half-breed northern soldiers are played by white actors in makeup!

Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?)

you do not need to wait for jesus to “come back.” dig through the rubble of any bombed out apartment complex, office building or, yes, girls’ school, and you’ll find him there, covered in dust.

christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.

I keep circling back to that line from the Mishnah Sanhedrin, "whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world" and wondering what it means to live at the mercy of men who are equally indifferent to any individual life, to millions of lives, and to the world itself

it's not your right to quiet the world. you as a human being are obligated to be in the world with other people even if that sucks shit sometimes. my neighbors listen to loud music and sometimes it's annoying but i also feel safe knowing my neighbors are okay and that if i need them they're there
