Man, all they had to do to make AP African American Studies classes focus less on racism was make the last 400 years go a little better.

“Bleak” is such a good word for it. The more I wrap my head around these NT/ND differences in communication, the more boggled I am that us ND folks somehow got labeled as lacking in empathy. 🤨

Talked to the person! It unfortunately does sound like an injured crow. 😰 He now knows what to do if he sees the crow again, and I gave him plenty of tips to help keep the crow fed and to spy on the crow’s whereabouts to help us catch him. 🐦‍⬛

When someone calls in an “injured crow” but then doesn’t answer their phone. 😫 It’s almost surely a clumsy fledgling, but I need more information! 🐦‍⬛

This definitely helps in some situations, but in others it can come across as argumentative. This case was unfortunately the latter.

It’s such a relief when people actually believe us! And I’m all for accommodating someone’s trauma or other context; I’ve got a few of those of my own. It’s all about offering good faith on both sides.

Omg, yes. 😭 I was in the worst state dealing with someone like that until I stumbled onto the explanation for that particular NT/ND disconnect. It didn’t solve anything, unfortunately, but at least I finally understood WHY that person was reacting with so much hostility. 😖

I’m also pretty sure that my typical response of stuttering something along the lines of, “oh no, I actually meant what I literally said; there’s no subtext or need to read between the lines” gets interpreted as aggression, because lolololsob.

They don’t even pause to consider that responding based on their wild misinterpretation makes it abundantly clear to us that they think we’re being passive-aggressive asshats. Like, really dudes?? Have you met me??? In what universe???

I find myself wondering if they’re misinterpreting me so wildly because so many *other* people communicate in that passive-aggressive manner, or because *they themselves* communicate that way and are projecting it onto me. Either way, AAAARGH 😭

Here's a still photo of a different bird that was hovering and grabbing sticklebacks. 🪶 Going forward, I'll try to get better video with a tripod etc.

Crows are such amazing ecological generalists. For several years I've watched various birds in the Seattle area that have learned to pluck fish from the water, sometimes swooping and scooping, other times, hovering almost like a tern. Below, some very jerky video (hand-held 800mm lens). 🪶

We didn’t know how relevant this book would continue to be, unfortunately. Also we wrote it for new organizers and have consistently heard from long-time organizers that they have found it useful and valuable.

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

Boeing is pleading guilty to a fraud that killed over 300 people. Their punishment is fines. At least one person made a decision to perpetuate this fraud, so why is nobody going to jail? If corporations have the same rights as people, they should face the same criminal liabilities as well.

The backlash from base voters who very explicitly demanded a Black woman as VP (and on the Court) as our “seat at the table” in exchange for our electoral organizing…whew, you are not prepared. But almost all of the white alternatives are, and it’s why they keep saying no.
