Not one word for Gaza, but…

Sierra Club @sierraclub.org · 27d

The Sierra Club strongly condemns political violence. That this is required to be said speaks to the terrifying increasing pattern of political violence which cannot be ignored.

If you're in New Orleans this Monday and Tuesday, come out to the Mahalia Jackson Theater for The Monarch Forum, a series of important, healing, community-driven conversations. Yours truly will be moderating an illustrious panel on Tuesday afternoon at 3:45 pm. Would love to see you!

“There’s a saying here that when an elder makes his transition without passing down his life experience, a library has just been burned down. And I don't want this library to be burned down. I want to pass with whatever knowledge I have. ”
– Malik Rahim

Just listened to a LibBro podcast where the hosts described Stephen Miller’s antics as “fascist cosplay.” So that explains a lot.

If DC were as dangerous as these people claim, how’d they pull of January 6?

I wasn’t sea lioning you. I was genuinely asking because, as I read those definitions, none of them are inherently nefarious.

Mary Annaïse Heglar @maryannaise.bsky.social · Aug 19

no... words mean things.

Mary Annaïse Heglar @maryannaise.bsky.social · Aug 19

Propaganda, by definition, is full of manipulation and deception. So calling a lie propaganda is actually accurate.

Mary Annaïse Heglar @maryannaise.bsky.social · Aug 19

Can you share the definition you’re using?

Mary Annaïse Heglar @maryannaise.bsky.social · Aug 19

Then how do you define “narrative”? Every story you’ve ever read has a narrative, true or false

Because…narrative and culture change expert here…narrative and propaganda are two different things!

Mary Annaïse Heglar @maryannaise.bsky.social · Aug 19

Please stop saying "narrative" when what you mean is "propaganda"
