Also I’m saying it: buy my book for Black History Month because it features the voices of incarcerated disabled girls of color. They can actually identify what can be improved in education, not these fucking bullshit exec orders.

every angry take I’ve seen about using technology to offload the work of being a human is correct, and I’ll just add: you learn things from art you don’t like and/or finish! you learn things, about yourself and about the world, even from experiences you don’t enjoy! friction is necessary for growth!
"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..."
Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling.

How do autocrats stay in power?
Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

We are living through unprecedented times… and everyone has a story to tell.
Don’t assume your social media profiles will be there forever. Write things down. Make hard copies.
Share your suffering, fears and pain.
You don’t have to be a writer. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just write it down.

for years i avoided transitioning bc i told myself i'd rather be a good man than a bad woman. it turns out i was an anxious, repressed, dissociated, miserable man, and sublingual estrogen almost-singlehandedly resolved many of my deepest-set anxieties
i know some number of my followers have been waiting for a sign. fuck this stupid world and start your transition, now.
