thinking of that James Baldwin quote about "blame" vs "responsibility" & how many white people utterly fail to get that distinction bc they're so defensively attached to whiteness (for better & for worse) as a personal identity

None of them have ever done any such thing. I think what they object to is that other white people have started talking publicly about how whiteness as a concept creates inequality, and they feel the social pressure that truth creates, which they experience exclusively in terms of blame management.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

In all honesty, we really need a permanent Truth and Reconciliation Commission with a broad mandate covering institutional racism more than we need a narrowly focused RC.

3) If you can’t stop hiccuping, there’s a nerve in your chest they can cut.

Anyway the single best check on your espoused prescriptions for social change is whether you yourself are doing what you say others need to do. It's extremely clarifying and usually very humbling.

I do think AI companies underestimate the degree to which simply being this annoyed can turn most of us into full on supervillains. Like, ask me again if I, a writer, want you, a fuck burger barf box, to help me with this sentence? We will collectively ruin the AI boom out of sheer pettiness watch

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have:
- no one to see on Christmas Day,
- no presents, or
- no contactable relatives.
Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.
