Ok, sure, from over here in my lane: Putting big energy into changing how people talk is rarely going to be successful—or, at the very least, a worthy candidate for the amount of energy and resources that must be paid for that success.
have seen some folks mention or contemplate that there were parts of “Woke 1.0” that were inept, too much, ham-fisted, etc. Without putting anyone on the spot, has anyone more concretely described what, exactly, they think were the inept or too much parts?

come up with a fake but plausible folksy aphorism. use your phrase once in every conversation you have for a day. if someone asks you what your phrase means, you lose. if someone else uses your phrase, you win.

If you believe in Doomerism as a price of entry you need to reckon with her
In a small purple corner of the country, a lesbian retired teacher tells her social network that her memory is fading. She wants to tell them one last time that she loves them and they are wonderful.
And the responses! Genuine, kind, bittersweet, loving, charming.
We must continue to fight for us.
