All. Of. This.
People who are able to be vulnerable.
To be humble.
To be wrong.
To change our minds when presented with new information or a different perspective.

I don't want to be surrounded by people who share my opinions. I want to be surrounded by people who share my values.
See, it's entirely possible to believe in something and fail to live up to it. And one thing I appreciate, both On Here and irl, is those people who will kindly and firmly check me.

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death.

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

In today’s edition of “things more Americans would know if unions weren’t so uncommon now”, you don’t win in asymmetric adversarial situations by winning a debate with the enemy, you win by finding ways to give the enemy no choice but to concede your demands.
"Republicans won't vote for it." "But the Supreme Court..." etc. etc.
These things aren't savvy realism. They're nihilistic defeatism, indistinguishable in substance and effect from outright support for Trumpism. Human institutions are not immutable facts of nature. We make and we can remake them.

A health care industry rag featured a story on how hospitals want to use AI for nursing the day after the administration declares nursing degrees will no longer be considered professional degrees. So there’s the endgame folks.
