there’s a reason why, in a country where healthcare is abysmally expensive, mass amounts of people getting disabled by a disease led to child labor laws getting contested

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

important hassle-eliminating tip: this is about how much water will completely fill a 2L bottle with ice, because water expands when it freezes.

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

This is esp true when confronted w the fact that in many places the local taqueria staffed by undocumented immigrants is more beloved and essential to the community than they are. That their utility and esteem is in the net negatives compared to a lot of the folks they despise.

This is so true. I’ll never forget in 2008, seeing a white supremacist crying on the news after Obama’s election. He said “we used to BE somebody.” They miss the days when the mere fact of being white made them “better,” more important, than everyone else

And just to be clear, this isn’t about people who are not voting for a candidate because their conscience won’t allow it. That is also a thing people are allowed to do, and normalize letting people vote (or not) the dictates of their conscience.

This is going hand in hand with reducing minimum age of employment. COVID eats the workforce & instead of making places safer w/ventilation & masking, or accepting immigrants they're going to put kids in the jobs.

AI is basically a society wide Trojan Horse for surveillance capitalism. It's like Shot Spotter giving mostly wrong data: the info was never the point as much as surveillance & easy falsified pretexts for oppression.

Because with the shifting definition of whiteness, and all the shit you have to do and lose to fit into white society, all of the sacrifice of your own ACTUAL culture you have to make in order to be Capital W White.... there's really no benefit to it. It's only loss. You've done it all for nothing.

But the thing that they're the MOST scared of. The thing that bothers them the most, is that they KNOW these things aren't true. The truth is, when they're not fucking life over for everyone else, nobody gives a shit about what they're doing. And that TERRIFIES them.

They think that if ANY marginalized groups get even a tiny bit of power that we're going to use that to subjugate white people. Looks familiar, don't it?

They don't like immigrants coming to the US because they think those people are going to take over their "American way of life." Hmmm wonder where I heard that before.

And they project their insecurities SO LOUD. They don't want schools teaching Critical Race Theory because they say it "encourages discrimination based on skin color." Oh, you mean the thing you've been doing for centuries?

And the fact that the piece didn't even mention that northern Idaho has been regarded as a haven for neo-Nazis and white supremacists since the Aryan Nations set up shop there in the 1970s is just a gobsmacking omission.

Yep. If you want to "accomplish" something by posting online, you just have to give people concrete things to do instead of just pontificate. People are hungry for ways to get involved and try to make a difference.
