If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Fished out my copy of Another Dimension of Us for @penguinrandomhouse
This was the first book cover I ever worked on and had a blast! Thinking of doing a hard pivot to more publishing work in the near future maybe???

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.
The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Since everything I'm working on is under a shroud of secrecy: hello new followers, please enjoy some of my past projects. My name is Zoë van Dijk! I primarily work in publishing, advertising, TTRPG games and in house work. I like drawing kind of everything but especially people, textures and light.
