I have a dog, some lacemaking skills, and some books.
Not my real name.
Not my real name.
Pinned
Do me a favor: remember that to non-Black people, I am Black. No one else has to acknowledge it but non-Black people treat me as a Black woman anyway, so it’s best to consciously recognize that.
My things are misinformation, education, and sociology so I absolutely see how that could be confused with conspiratorial thinking.
So. New rule. If you think I’m going too far out on a limb, assume I’m not, tag me in a separate post. Don’t accidentally spread misinformation in my replies.

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

And ten years ago, they were saying that Hillary was going to be worse than Trump.
Five years ago they were saying that Biden would be worse than Trump.
They've gone three for three on being dead-wrong and yet they still keep going.

If their genius is not recognized after they come to the convention with their manuscript in hand, surely it must be because they are white and male. Couldn't be anything else. They will go and tell people this was their experience at the convention. They were excluded. Tale as old as time.

They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

I'd believe this anecdote because I've met guys like this at conventions. People do ask (politely) about their work and they can't pitch it because what makes it special is that they are the specialest boy. They go to panels and hear queer and BIPOC writers talk about their work and think "ah ha". +

I have a lot of very conflicted feelings about my military service in Afghanistan, but I'll tell you one thing I got out of it - it was impossible to walk through any of those villages and then return to America and think that most Americans are "extremely poor".

“Saying people shouldn’t want to emulate billionaires or center them in their lives and should instead find their own joy is classist” needs to be left in 2025. Let the mouse go. Hear yourselves, just this once.

I once asked on the other app if barbers take into account face shape when cutting hair and make recommendations. Everyone who replied to told me that was “gay” and “men don’t do that”…so then it dawned on me why so many of ya’ll be looking crazy

It’s interesting that Conservative propaganda only works when it’s released in bulk and seeks to choke out everything real existing around it

(And for the 100th time, “zionist” simply means supporting Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish homeland within the Green Line border. It has nothing to do with a sovereign Palestinian state, which I support. Fuck Netanyahu & his MIGA asshole thugs as well.)

In a better version of America, that once existed in part, political commentators who got something as wrong as Conservatives fighting for “state rights” instead of active Fascism would all find themselves in search of new careers.

It's what really bothers me about accounts like this: they're not interested in working against fascism or racism from the people in power actively working to oppress, they're interested in disempowering us.
Look at you doing the thing ”shitlibs”, lol, lmao.
You’ll never be represented by democrats because you’re an antisocial asshole and the GOP has a lock on that demographic. Go be with your people and leave us the fuck alone, we’ve got actual work to do.
