How does everyone handle closely examining violent, discriminatory text? Esp if the audience didn't respond?
Close reading is important BUT institutional, so facing down harmful language wasn't its intent. I feel like I'm just recommitting violent descriptions when I'm analyzing them.

I'm sorry, but what??? Did this article just argue for zapping the brains of those with intellectual #disabilities with electricity to help them learn better?

People keep blaming 🍊 for the GOP's ineffectiveness on #Epstein, but has anyone wondered if...they are on the list?
Such as, is the Heritage Foundation on the list?
Religious fundamentalism has a very bad track record with *cough cough* child abuse.

The fact that people are outing how deeply awful they are, in public, on Jubilee is ridiculous, but I suppose that's where we are now.

The video really only includes information from the 17th century forward, emphasizing a Eurocentric view of California's history. Because historiography tends to privilege documented evidence, the collective memories from indigenous pre-histories may not have been included.

I just watched TikTok lives of the #LAprotests.
The story was the same across each one. The protests were peaceful, and then law enforcement escalated the situation and either provoked a reaction or began arresting people for simply standing around.

Stick me in a peat bog so archaeologists can find me in a thousand years and scratch their heads.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
The entire administration is going to be staffed by Fox News hosts
