Neuronormative culture says it’s rude to break the illusion that everyone likes each other. But rudeness is cultural, not objective, and I will die on the hill that it’s far worse than ‘rude’ to deceive others and then punish them for calling you on it.

This tweet hints at a deeper, darker truth

We have destroyed our communities, and even our sense of what community looks like, to the point that, despite innately craving it, there is no one else to even turn to

I’m calling them Cannibal Lefters. The problem isn’t any political belief. It’s that they’ve developed a taste for their own kind and will hurt people to feel pleasure.

Now that I'm back from picketing with @thejuliebenson at Netflix this morning, I finally have a moment to share my thoughts about the news that Paramount+ is pulling Star Trek: Prodigy off their service.

Here begins the thread... 🧵 1/

In a world of deep uncertainty, I choose joy.

It can feel radical to reject cynicism. To try every day to make the world a tiny bit better.

Hope is a tool. It can be a battery, a shield, or a weapon. And it can be used in service of others.

We build a road, stone by stone.

a bridge collapsed in Pennsylvania. the Democratic governor rebuilt it in two weeks. the power grid failed in Texas. the Republican senator fled to Cancun. any questions

Adding to this: TNG, DS9, and Voyager all also dealt with a lot of emotional vulnerability and people who don't think they did haven't actually watched Trek in 30 years.

Mom asked, "I wonder when cherries bloom in Japan?" So I found 1200 years of data online and made her a plot.

Austin police officers arrested a deaf, elderly woman at ABIA for trespassing, but she just misunderstood instructions from a ticket clerk. Because she’s elderly and deaf. She spent 3 nights in the Travis County Jail, where a jailer broke her arm. She wasn’t taken to the ER.

This a good video speaking about the reality of the quickly growing homeless crisis in this country.

#LongCOVID is real. And it's causing real hurt for the people who have it (at least 5% of US adults.)

Some lost their jobs, their livelihoods, can't sleep, can't think, can't walk!

In our @scrippsnews #InTheLoop story, long haulers share what it's like.

I’d rather have someone hit me with a shovel than watch that again ..

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When we Christians trade the kingdom of God in for political control, we begin to treat the gospel as a war on our culture, our theology as a weapon, our politics as a way to conquer our enemies, and we pursue vengeance while calling it “justice.”

We trade Jesus in for Caesar.
