The grounds for hope are simply that we don’t know what will happen next, and that the unlikely and the unimaginable transpire quite regularly. And that the unofficial history of the world shows that dedicated individuals and popular movements can shape history and have. 💙

I grew up during the tail end of Martha Stewart’s peak and didn’t have the pleasure of witnessing in real time her genius, her artistry, and her trailblazing multi-layered, philosophical, liberating inspiration that she bestowed upon on this world. Watching her docu. is just — I’m in awe.

Latest book haul. In my house, we don’t call it CRT. We call it history, and we learn about the things that define us as people.

Law ≠ Morality

People forget that law is not the same as morality.

Sure, the law is [supposed to be] informed by moral values, but it’s also informed by:
•Practicality
• Asense of respect for personal freedoms

@joyannreid.bsky.social PERFECTLY dismantles the hollow calls for ‘unity’ from those who’ve undermined democracy and human dignity. Unity shouldn’t require us to compromise our values or ignore harm. 🎯

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.

If we believe most people can't be trusted, that's how we'll treat each other, to everyone's detriment. Few ideas have as much power to shape the world as our view of other people. Because ultimately, you get what you expect to get.

A new, super addictive drug comes on the market. Scientists investigate and conclude that the drug causes, ‘a misperception of risk, anxiety, lower mood levels, learned helplessness, contempt and hostility towards others, and desensitization'. That drug is the news.

“Two wolves fight inside me. One is evil—angry, greedy, jealous, arrogant, and cowardly. The other is good—peaceful, loving, modest, generous, honest, and trustworthy. These two wolves are also fighting within you, and inside every other person too.“

“Which wolf wins?”

“The one you feed.”

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
