I think a lot about how we are conditioned to perform roles before we are allowed the opportunity to figure out who we are as people.
I feel like a lot of us would opt out of these roles if given the chance to consider them.
I think this a big reason why dating is just messy right now.

I was in my 20s when I realized the qualities that make a good man are the same qualities that make a good woman, rendering the concept of gender useless.
I didn’t have the words to express it at the time, but it changed how I moved in the world.
It was like I put down a weight that I was given

Like the most beautiful tragedy ever written. The beauty definitely exceeds the tragic nature of our existence though. We are hunted and feared for existing but we are also the best at everything we lay hands on. We have a magic no one else will ever hold.
How does it feel to be Black?

Amb of Somalia to UN to Representative of Israel, at the UNSC: “To come to this place and lecture us on humanity, genocide, human rights, independence, and democracy—when we know what you are doing on a daily basis—is just an insult.”

In my experience, when I hear white people say something is 'impossible,' it's generally a reflection of their motivation to do it, not an indictment of the activity itself.
Like when they say dealign with racism is 'impossible."
It's not.
They just don't want to put the work in.

Are things much worse here and in Gaza specifically because Trump won? God, yes. But not one person who voted uncommitted in a Democratic primary to bring attention to the genocide is responsible for that or could have prevented it. And at least they succeeded in shining a spotlight on that evil.

The only people who showed how easily they could be fooled were anti-black bigots who were terrified that a black president would signal that America's caste system was eroding and they might have to relinquish white supremacy or their model minority status.

The tech bros will do everything in their power to prevent any regulation of AI, because regulation is a pin and AI is a bubble. And they are going to make America eat that loss somehow. Even as they sit on billions.
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

I can't believe people are talking about MTG being redeemed because she went on an "I don't like pedophilia" tour. Who likes pedophilia save for Trump and a couple dozen billionaires? Disliking pedophilia isn't enough to make you a decent person. It isn't even enough to keep you out of Hell.

The white supremacist patriarchy's need to believe that it is new and brave and newly brave is exhausting - fellas, you stand on the shoulders of Lilliputians who built a society entirely for you and you are neither new, nor brave, nor remotely special.
Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.
Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

Like there’s no real resistance
There’s no future building there’s jokes on tops of corpses
While everyone scrambles to fill in
And a deep desire to out everyone in “our places”
While the people who warned us DIE or work for free
And they think it’s jokes
What are we fighting to save ?

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.
Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

If this unprovoked airstrike means America is at war with Venezuela, then it is also at war with Yemen, Syria, Nigeria, and Somalia. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. What word we use to describe these attacks is less important than accepting that the US is a white supremacist rogue state.
The US is at war with Venezuela.
No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity.
