A photon doesn’t experience any time passing due to relativistic time dilation.

The irony is that from the traveler’s standpoint, the closer they get to the speed of light a.k.a. causality, the more they experience moving faster than light.

Onlookers are the ones experiencing a long wait.

Absolutely! It’s a damned-if-you do, damned-if-you-don’t discursive bind. What is racism’s “undoing?”

Calling it biological fiction is narratively hijacked by other fictions like rational market individualism to deny social epigenetics.

Calling it socially epigenetic is derided as reconstituting.

100% 💪. That’s a valid interpretation of my imperfect metaphor in which it’s certainly false.

I hoped to convey that as race is a biological fiction about aptitude and pathology, I try (also imperfectly) to keep its truthful consequence separate from “trickle-out” phenotype eugenics in my thinking.

Race is often an incidental stenographer of economic privilege.

Social media can normalize anonymous activist takes and moral red lines that require spectacular economic privilege.

I try to remind myself that the economic privilege egg comes before the melanin chicken.

Part of the challenge with me and podcasting is that I’m not easily verbal and pre-recorded for “Sixteenth Minute” at a rate of about three minutes per hour 😀

Even then, jamieloftus.bsky.social and whysophiewhy.bsky.social expertly separated gold from ample silt and a few radioactive hazards 🙏 😀

On this day 18 years ago, @tayzonday.com uploaded Chocolate Rain to YouTube.

Hear my thoughts as an “uncured” autistic taxpayer (😳) in this third of three Sixteenth Minute podcast episodes!

Have you read @dr-nicky.bsky.social’s book “Neuroqueer Heresies” (also on the website of the same name)?

Her discussion of autistiphobia and neurocosmopolitanism relates to what you describe.

Less than 1% of English speakers follow my unabridged thinking with comfort. Heresy is my homeostasis 🤪

If you want my opinions without a character limit, @jamieloftus.bsky.social is the best host ever:

friends, i am in absolute awe of @tayzonday.com on the new sixteen minutes of fame. if for some reason you are not listening everything @jamieloftus.bsky.social does, listen to the “chocolate rain” guy brilliantly deconstruct & reconstruct himself w/love and empathy: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

Public thank you to @jamieloftus.bsky.social for all the great stuff she does, but today hearing a connection between the music of @billybragg.bsky.social and story of @tayzonday.com on 16th Minute just completely made my day. Go listen. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

How does the economy work? @tayzonday.com is here to explain!

This is still my favorite video, Tay. Absolutely brilliant.

SF = Some Fraternity? Some Futon? Some Fantasy League?

Thanks! Someone could still see it and say “OH MY GOSH I can’t believe you commented on @hankgreen.bsky.social, HE HAS A NOSE!” and get the Anti-Nose Society to brigade and shame me 🤪

Thanks! That's still a public reply though, isn't it? The goal of bookmarks is to track posts in a way that is not public-facing like favorites.

I can’t figure out how to do it. I need a video tutorial.
