Dear President Turnip,
I have proof of the existence of slavery in the form of a notebook kept by one of my ancestors. Here are 2 pages, showing that "Vilet" was apparently kept as breeding stock.
If we don't learn our history, we may repeat it. Or is that what you want?

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

I was talking to a lawyer about a story, and he was like, "Why is no one talking about what's happening to my clients???" and I was like "Well, every single industry in the United States is going through the worst crisis it's ever faced, but journalism was ahead of everyone in that race"
it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.
