Reading other people’s arguments online has actually changed my mind about several things tho so please keep arguing.

I observe people on here with obviously diametrically opposed perspectives argue & wonder wtf is the point? Nobody is changing the others' minds. Wasting time that could be used building with like minds to formulate a plan. I guess they just like arguing & attention (of any kind). 😩

I used to learn so much on Twitter, watching people debate/push back. Poetry Twitter used to be really good for that.

speaking for myself, i post into the void but also comment on others' posts

sometimes it's worth correcting/refuting/engaging bc there are ppl who see it for whom it'll be useful

can you even think of how unsafe and disrespected it feels to BE either woman in this discussion? sitting by while everyone decides if you have big titties people should just automatically be horny on sight? if you don't people should ignore you or immediately determine you as a non sexual being?

This was a show (on Prime I think) called The One. Folks was having existential crises bc their soul mates would be same gendered and they hadn't considered the possibility of LGBTQIA relationships.

If you could take a test and find your soulmate with 99.9% accuracy, would you do it?

Would you get married immediately?

If you were already involved, would you leave them for the soulmate?

yes to the first q (i like the idea of an assessment producing a result). no to the second q, and probably no to the last one. if i've gone so far as to romantically commit myself to someone, it's for a reason. soulmate is some other relationship.

Just look into her politics, she aligns with Trump. No need to call her "insane."

Freeman Park, the land stewarded by her family. (I drove up before dawn and took this photo a few years back).

The recent passing of Assata Shakur unleashed more than a sense of loss. It sparked a flowering of hope that the freedom she fought for could one day be real for the rest of us.

I might delete my GoFundMe because it has received no traction. I've only received $100 from it. Far from my goal.
