Two possible reactions: 1) Continue on the trajectory that got us here in the first place by discarding this as “just Trump being Trump” 2) Grapple in earnest with the fact that Trump asserts dictatorial power as the providential leader tasked with saving the nation. This is acutely dangerous.

I'm gonna be a broken record about it. Feeling down? Do something. Feeling helpless? Do something. Feeling scared? Do something. (Yes, yes, yes, do what you need to not burn out, and to make life worth living / keep culture alive and vibrant.) Action empowers. It refreshes. It builds community.

Twitter saying Serena Williams corny. Your MAMMY corny bitch. Drake has been harassing her in MUSIC, in PERSON, in INTERVIEWS for years. Sending subs to her EX, Common. Subbing her HUSBAND. She has not said a thing. She is MARRIED WITH 2 KIDS. Men think they own you forever.

okay you have "resist" in your bio and you're online calling him "Drumpf" but like, do your friends and neighbors trust you? do you actually have their back? do people who need help know they can come to you or do you think posting is enough?

You know how I know law enforcement is racist? Everybody acts confused about what to do when white men break the law.

One of the weirdest things about sitting on faculty Senate is a tenured faculty member is that when people ask me about how the meetings went, I often answer them the same way that I answered my parents when they asked me about how my debate tournament went.

I have had several people on social media ask me if my bio means that I am a sometimes reluctant academic Or if I’m a reluctant sometimes academic. Honestly? Depends on my mood and the tone of my last meeting.

Tell whatever piece of you that’s thinking “Holy shit, that’s devastating, but it’s happening all the way over there… we’ll be okay over here” to shut the fuck up because there is no “over there.” Where all on the same ship. Act accordingly.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid $6,200 a month to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. Ronald Reagan had them removed. We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

The thing that is most surprising to me about this is the number of people who think that this means you SHOULD talk to the police WITH a lawyer, and the vast majority of lawyers will tell you to not talk to the police at all as soon as you've hired them.

I really don't understand what these people think writing a book is FOR. If you just wanted a book ... I don't know. You're missing the point of the book itself. You can train AI with your "style." OK? But if you didn't write it, you aren't an author. You played a game. (1)
