I am not actually Sarah Conner.
People have gotten so very shitty on social media and in emails for my work. Most people are lovely, but we get some of the shittiest messages from people whenever we do any public program. I don't mean hate messages...it's the people who want to participate they're just so very very shitty about it

Stop watching that podcast where the two adult kids interview their garbage fascist parents. They are platforming the alt right. Those kind of people must be shunned from our lives not given a fucking microphone.

Lot of MAGA people on the internet today pretending real hard that they liked that boring ass TP USA show. The thing about hate is that it is a killer of joy.

I'm very much so enjoying A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The acting is great and the world building is fun. I do think the 30 minute episodes are hurting it though.

I just learned Dan McClellan is a Mormon which really drives home my theory that you can never immediately trust a white man on the internet

Ring cameras being able to AI match a lost dog throughout the neighborhood, is a feel-good way to cover pretty terrifying technology 🙃

Complete and utter social shunning to those who support this regime and complete and utter punishment for those that are in this regime are the only ways to move forward and not be here again in a generation
Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...
Hating the Game
The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

People remembering mike tyson as the ear-biter, or the face tattoo guy, or the guy who was in that movie, is rape culture.
mike tyson is the guy who was sentenced to 6 years in prison after he was convicted of raping a teenager.

I took French in high school so I know very little Spanish and it was still phenomenal. Out of context it was a gorgeous and fun performance in the context of our time it was also important and beautiful. Wish Lady Gaga didn't pop in but whatever
