I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

btw it IS important to know the difference between straight up not enjoying stuff vs not enjoying stuff because you feel like you're not good at it. one strategy is to get good at something you hate and then it will become very clear haha. finding your groove does take time and that's okay!
for example, say you're really good at shading, but you don't really enjoy doing it. find a way to not have to do it! you love shading more than anything, but you feel like you suck at it? lean in, do as much shading as you want, and it'll eventually become a strength

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

TLDR; it's in our best interest to keep up the pressure on these companies and be as VOCALLY and VISUALLY annoying as possible.
The goal for average joes like you and me at this juncture is BRAND DAMAGE. Stay loud, stay annoying, connect their effect on free expression with their brand

again: this is racist fascism. it's here. don't trust anyone who pretends otherwise.
I can't believe that nobody is talking about the optics of a bunch of mostly white, mostly male Republicans locking this woman up and refusing her freedom to walk out the door without a police escort to make sure she complies.
