When Sam is telling Kendrick to tighten up, it’s not just because of conservatives redlining rhetoric,

It’s because your reflex - your comfort - suppresses ANYONE loud, different, or poor in your world, no matter their color

Kendrick gave you a gift;
You gotta loosen up

As a former professor and someone who has created educational content online:

PLEASE continue preaching this (even if some of us know it’s true!)

Anti-intellectualism isn’t just about distrusting elites / authorities;

It’s also about degrading the necessity of individuals teaching each other

What I hope you take from this is that you actually need to help people get to where you're at. That is work which *you* have to do. You cannot simply say "it's not my job to educate you"

I understand it's exhausting and many people truly should not have to take that on. But those who can should.

Help him fucking get there, bruh

If you think that there’s power there, do something to help him!

“When you point out manipulative aspects of progressive spaces or frameworks, part of me wants to defend them - not because I think you're wrong, but because I'm uncertain how far I can go in critiquing them.

It's uncomfortable.”

With more than 350 million people in this country, I guarantee you that even among those who are feeling pressure right now

There are some people for which today was a good day,

And we must not lose sight of that

Even as we look for better days for all

Good thing that hedonic treadmill is collecting dust in the corner, right?

Had the same feeling in Season 0 / USA until around Gold;

then people started using comms better, flexed more, and felt less emotionally challenged

It helped me to find a few people that I could grind out of the low ranks with,

It was like a different game
