As someone that struggle with pacing, I think about Shigidi a lot

It’s so fun!!!

Congrats!! That’s so exciting!!!

Birthright citizenship and court authority come from the same place: the constitution. If there is no birthright citizenship then the Supreme Court and the executive branch also have no legal control over us bc the contract that grants it had been voided.

What the fuck is this discourse? The court’s power comes from the same place as birthright citizenship. If the 14th amendment no longer has authority, neither does the Supreme Court.

Constitutional amendments ARE the constitution. They all know this, fucking shameful framing.

Tbh one of my few solaces is thinking about how much teenagers will love studying this time. The corruption? The weird memes? The terrible arguments over nothing? So entertaining if you’re 14.

If we keep it together enough to have documentation of this time & pple to study it, it’s gonna rock.

So many things. I’m like yes millions of people are dying & that’s bad & you want to save them. But also, climate change? Nuclear weapons? Wealth inequality?

Can’t you gently nudge some things first before you try undo all of it?

Presumably some things are being handled but she never follows up.

I’ve worked to make space for the writer I am now, rather than the writer I was. She may be interested in different things & have different skills & that’s okay, bc the life I’ve lived in the interim mattered. That & cultivating a sense of joy & play over expectations.

(Actual success varies lol)

I would be so mad

That said Carol is making some Choices and if Pluribus was set in the city where I live I would lose my whole mind.

Idk I read the dead spouse question as a very deliberate tactic. She wanted to be super sure they had to tell her the full truth and she knew both that her wife prolly thought her books were stupid and that would be devastating news they would withhold if at all possible.

My toxic trait is def looking at this shit and being like “maybe we can actually win now.” I’ve been a Texan long enough to know what a foolish hope it is. But also fuck these losers destroying everything and fuck them for thinking we’ll just surrender.

I have… enough baggage with the crucifix as a symbol that I mostly just registered its absence as subconscious relief my first time through, but holy hell. This movie is so fucking tight and beautiful and I’m screaming.

An absence that comes from a place of violent misogyny and trauma, legacies that protect an ever-shrinking, calcified community, bur make following the actual example of Christ utterly impossible.

Impulsively clicked on this video and was immediately fighting for my life trying to keep up because space is complicated as hell.

Really cool and well explained and also great news? Excited that we get to keep all our precious afternoon sunlight from now on.
