OMG that’s a good one. I keep imagining having an office one day and when students come in for advice they see all my subversive cross stitch curated on part of my wall and feel empowered. They pop in to see if I’ve finished a new one. Then they go forth and join movements saving the world.
Agreed! Though I would add “reflect and learn” in there somewhere, because “try shit, be wrong and keep trying” could describe the GOP for the last 50 years!
I don’t know where to find the info, but there were a whole load of researchers that shared all the rejections for papers and trials they’d had. But they’d all gone on to do great stuff! Failing is hard sometimes, but you’re so right! Thank you
I am not buying anything today, but I think this needs to be a sustained effort!! We should have an economic blackout every Wednesday!! We need to create momentum so many others can join in. They can show up by not showing up! It can be a quiet act, but have a huge impact
I wish more people would understand that. It’s key to growth and learning. Builds confidence and resiliency. Helps you plan better. Also allows you to teach others.
It drives me nuts when people put forth ideas like boycotting, striking, protesting, or whatever and people will immediately say “ it doesn’t work” “ it will never work”. And most of the people saying it don’t do anything to begin with. Like have you even tried doing these things?
Most people don't participate. I am good about tuning out the "it will never work" stuff because almost every organizing campaign I've been part of people have said 'it will never work.' Sometimes it doesn't *work* but you still learn a lot and sometimes it does in fact *work." Onwards!

If you try shit and you're wrong, then it's best to STOP trying that shit precisely because you are WRONG.
The #UnitarianUniversalist "church" never prosecuted me for alleged #BlasphemousLibel after I asked this question.

We should be willing to let others try shit and be wrong.
(Especially when it’s faster and involves less infighting. Not when Dems in Congress are wasting great opportunities)
Let us learn from our mistakes, stand up, and fall short again.
Eventually, we will prevail. Failure only comes when we give up.

Here's what happened when the #UnitarianUniversalist "church" threatened me with criminal prosecution for #BlasphemousLibel.
