This is truly my autism talking but it’s incredibly crazy to me that people would rather pretend to not see racism when I avoid natural feelings bc I would hate for them to be misinterpreted as hateful. I’ll take the L to create a less hateful world.
It's usually white people interpreting behaviors as anything but racism. They'll even say stuff like, "the way so and so treasts you is wild, I've never seen anything like it" but because they're not literally carrying a sign saying "I'm doing this cause I'm racist" they can't see the racism

I have been thinking a lot about how becoming more informed and aware over the next four years in a way that’s really useful might mean more books about history and less getting sucked into the daily firehose of bad news which is the present
I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely

The need to do that hasn’t changed

If studying history isn’t part of your organizing work, change that

Reactions to the TikTok ban are showing me that a lot of people think only the US government is evil

I angrily ranted about the socioeconomic layout of a neighbourhood I lived in nearly 7 years ago to my ally European boss and scared him. Like he’s a bro but he was having 1793 flashbacks and sweating.

Like as a white woman the hardest thing I’m going to experience is sitting between a white man and a black woman and scooching toward the man because I’d rather inconvenience a dude but I’m worried the woman thinks Im racist. Like that’s the hardest part. That’s nothing. Let’s all shut tf up.

The energy sustaining my life force is pure smugness about Taylor Swift being right during the phone call (yall it was ROUGH) and Andrew Garfield being an excellent spiderman.

Hi, ASL interpreter of 30 yrs & a person w/ Deaf family here.

In response to the anti-ASL horseshit going around:

ASL and English are not the same language.

ASL has no written form.

Reading English subs is not = to seeing ASL & many Deaf ppl need sign to fully understand info.

the scope of the destruction in the LA area has wholly outstripped my capacity to process what I’m seeing in real time

it’s just horrifying

I love you all so much and I’m overwhelmed with relief that so far it seems everyone I know is physically safe

I can’t enjoy horror movies because the characters always act so irrationally. If I was in a horror movie situation I would simply kill myself straight away

A discovery of witches is the most interesting show I have ever seen and that is not a compliment (it’s also not a dig) I’ve just never had so many THOUGHTS about a show. I could write a dissertation on, I want to start a podcast.

I just want to mention that “I don’t even HAVE Facebook” has not quite reached the level of insufferable signaling that “I don’t even HAVE a television” once was, but goddamned if some of you aren’t doing your absolute best.

This is a wonderful sentiment that I am quoting for others.

I, unfortunately, played trumpet and don’t even like the sounds it makes and it made my lips itchy.
If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.

The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.

Jump back into it.

Watching American movies made in the 50s is wild because many of them are incredible works of art but also every time there’s a shot of a city bus all I can think is “that’s a segregated bus.”
