I’m glad I’ve curated my feed to include multiple people who warn about upsetting videos making the rounds and no one who actually shares them directly.

Good 🧵 up/down on this great conclusion.
Instead it’s “Okay, maybe you didn’t vote for it, and if that’s true I’m glad because it means you AREN’T a complete monster, and I’m also glad you’re appropriately upset about it, but even if it’s true it’s not an excuse. You are an adult and you need to do better”

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”
"Okay I get that," Meg whispered back, "but I've been angry for over a decade straight and my arteries are basically solid carbon fiber at this point. Do I ever get a freakin' break?"

Got the kid off to her first day of high school with a couple moderate hiccups along the way, but it got done! Hopefully tomorrow will be smoother.

Finally getting around to reading @scalzi.com’s latest, and I agree wholeheartedly with Mary Robinette’s summary.
This is one of those books that should absolutely not work. It does. I laughed in an airport lounge loudly enough that people turned to look at me. I also cried MORE THAN ONCE over a book about a MOON MADE OF CHEESE. Fuck you, @scalzi.com. How dare. Everyone had better get a copy: rb.gy/3h9dzo

The premise that women and people of color who make it into positions of authority are "DEI hires" and the white men made it on merit is the exact opposite of reality and anyone who's paid any attention to the world for more than 5 minutes knows it.
It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide
