I understand that tools and skills are repeated over time to develop better results.

I also understand that this is absolute magic.

In the very first two chapters there are two completely different, mutually exclusive stories of creation. Ancient peoples understood and lived metaphor. Evangelical "fundamentalists" were an invention of the post-Darwin freak out at loss of church control. It's pretty simple.

It's somewhat astonishing to me that we are still, for some Americans, in the "Holy Shit, I don't believe that. Can you believe that? I can't believe that."

Black and brown folks have been warning since...well, 1865 but even since the 60s and the 80s. This ignorance has been willing.

I do hope you're right.

I have watched America since 2001 and I hope the optimism will be bourn out.

The idea that, if they got bit by a zombie, most people wouldn't be the guy in the zombie movie that doesn't tell anyone they got bit by a zombie.

🧵Listen up white folks.

Natives have been yelling since invasion and only now are you listening but you still aren't hearing or comprehending.

Native existence is resistance because we're surviving an ongoing genocide that you can no longer ignore because it's starting to happen to you. 1/6

One thing you learn in your teenage years is that the opportunity to fix a mistake doesn't always exist when you finally realized you've made that mistake.

It's heartbreaking to watch America learning this right now.

It's still possible, but orders of magnitude harder.

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of "come over here and say that" masculinity, but I would dearly love Goebbels Act 2 to actually say that in the same room as DeNiro.

It would probably be strictly verbal, but I would bet my life McShifty over there goes home crying.

I hear you. 12 years parish ministry, 3 years in seminary and I just about went out of my mind trying to tell everyone the calls were coming from inside the house.

We had zero grace for anyone that wasn't in the approved boundaries and it made me crazy.

I'm curious why some of my American Cousins still consider Hakeem Jeffries a progressive or even a liberal. The millionaire doner class are not your friends. I don't know why you're surprised when he says 'I'm not your friend'.

Kind curious what the mad, old white dudes are thinking right now as they bulldoze the White House, because Trump is laughing his ass off at them.

No writer could have written a more perfect metaphor than taking a bulldozer to the heart of American democracy.

I feel like we're about 6 months away from Futurama's suicide booths being sold as Wellness Cabinetry.

The Black Panthers gave us the playbook

Self sufficiency is the armour of revolution. You can't take down a system you're dependent on

They opened their own clinics, gave mutual aid and free food to their communities, taught people how to read, armed themselves and policed the police

We created the Black Panther Party, providing free breakfast programs, healthcare clinics, and self-defense for our neighborhoods. But the FBI labeled them a threat, launched COINTELPRO, and worked to dismantle them. Still, their legacy

I would just like to offer this statement on behalf of Canada regarding the Seattle Mariners loss to the Blue Jays.

Sorry about that.

BRILLIANT film. One of the yearly watches. 👍

You are so right. We've let broken men become so rich they can force their nightmares on the rest of us. There's a reason why our public policies shouldn't allow this.

Great cover, fantastic show.

the world in general would be in a far better place if more people simply read Pratchett and internalised what "just because it's funny doesn't mean it isn't serious" actually means

I think Talia generally has a lot of good things to say. I don't agree with this though. 1

as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE.

why is that?

what purpose does this serve?

Anyone who works in health care, especially during the pandemic, are complete and absolute heroes. Y'all should have had all student loans forgiven and I am so grateful you were all there for us. I wish I could do more, all I can is mask and practice public health and advocate.

Any law enforcement should be carrying identification, they cannot be doxxed as legally the identification links them, through their commanders, to who they are and where they could be found.

He wants use to believe that these were eight year olds who had no idea not to say "FUCK" at dinner with Aunt Muriel.

Getting called a fascist by Kermit the Frog...I think I'd be broken and sobbing under my bunk wondering where I'd fucked up my life this bad.
