What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

This is how liberals want to use our identities; to advance harm. And exactly why I say representation in film being a person who looks like me is fine. But representation in politics is only and exclusively someone who either shares or will fight to advance my values, like Less Harm.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 19h

A useful illustration of the limits of liberal identity politics.

It's astounding to see self-described progressives lose their minds over the successes of a Jewish female entrepreneur and intellect in @bariweiss, and a wildly successful Black man in @VanJones68. I guess equity, diversity, and inclusion don't mean as much as they've told us.

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

This is an important thing re: has social media done anything good for you.

Learning to recognize unhealthy modes of engagement and putting guardrails in place is a critical skill.

Ian @woolie.meowmeow.city · 12h

Social media connected me with a new current career path which then became a company. It has also driven me to the point of madness (at least, before I left twitter). I've put in guardrails on unhealthy modes of engagement, which has helped.

We can destigmatize neurodivergence and disability without getting weird and pseudo spiritual about it. Autism isn't a magic divinely imparted sixth sense. Jesus Christ, look at Elon Musk, an autistic man who might be one of the most evil scumbags on the planet.
