I am making no judgements (aesthetic or otherwise) but I am certain that in 100 years we will be defining, debating, and trying to unpack a notion of "gen-z/alpha semi-irony" that is currently making my Xer-cusp brain burst at its seams.

So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/

I got gift cards with a print out of a local bookstore I should use them at. However, I gave a bunch: Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, Clint Smith's How the Word is Passed, Alex E. Harlow's Once and Future Witches, Kelleye Garrett's Missing White Woman, Kiersten White's Lucy Undying . . .

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Do something BEFORE they ban it. Show up, speak out, sign that petition, email governing authorities, donate to a grassroots organization, use the library, write an op-ed, resist.
After they ban it, continue. Make noise, file a lawsuit, and don’t stop.
Support those doing the work.
Repeat.
