When I compare what they insurrected over to what we haven’t insurrected over it makes perfect sense to me why they feel empowered to kidnap kids in broad daylight

Of all the things I have to write and all the things I have to read, to say nothing about all the things I have to do, why not start reading a Sam Lipsyte's THE SUBJECT STEVE that I bought on impulse today? It's less than 200 pages, why not?

I admit, I'm curious as hell whether the dynamic of being Gestapo together changes how the White folks in ICE relate to the Black and Brown folks in ICE and if so, how...? 🤔

Black Aziz Anansi @blackazizanansi.blacksky.app · 1d

Black people - Do you have any members of your family who joined ICE? If so, what drove them to make such a horrible decision, and what is your family dynamic like?

If you want proof that people are incapable of learning here is your reminder that Titanic had a sister ship called the Brittanic that was pressed into service as a hospital ship during WW1 and was so successful that they called her unsinkable and then she sank on the next voyage

One upside of this whole Bari Weiss bullshit is that every time I see one of her memos,I feel better about my own writing.

Every time my imposter's syndrome pops up, I can look at this and say "can you believe someone is sending this shit out to a professional newsroom?"

I'm clearly an uncultured person if I can watch an obviously high quality mini-series like THE GOLD while all I can think about is DCI Gene Hunt, swearing and telling everyone, "Get in the back of the Quattro!"
