Ted respects Rebecca. He doesn't need to sexualize her or date her to value her presence. They can have chemistry, be safe together, be good friends, say "I love you", AND still be platonic. <3 to the writers for showing that friendship can still be the priority.

@dennehyeliza says now, fans call her a badass for standing up to Riker. Well, Cmdr. Shelby, I became the badass I am because I saw Trek women like you & Dr. @gates_mcfadden stand up to male authority figures. Thanks for the lift. #trekwomenftw

The moment. And I mean the very second they overturned Roe v. Wade. The entire gun lobby negated every. single. one. of their rights arguments.

michael haight’s family wants you to think he was a saintly, good mormon who ran into problems completely outside of his control

they want you to think that he snapped one day and made a mistake (the mistake of murdering his wife and children)

but here’s additional context:

@NathanCopier Nothing like debating the value of human intellect with the product of human intellect…😂

Yes, ChatAI is magical and cool. I'm impressed.

However, it's lacking. It's like being told the HEX values of the current sunrise instead of hearing what it's like to experience such vivid and soul-permeating colors.

Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic. It's not you being mistaken, it's not you deceiving yourself, it's not you misunderstanding something. It's something that is done TO you.

If you believe something untrue because of old conditioning, it's not you "gaslighting yourself."

[Kate Rufener @KateRufener]

In a workshop environment, you’ll probably ask people to engage with new thoughts and ideas.

Don’t panic if this leads to silence!

People need time to process new information or generate ideas. Don’t jump in to fill the silence. Give it time before moving on.

We're so far past the 'if you don't have a uterus' argument. So, we'll go here instead: If you have ever paid for someone to get an abortion to cover your 'indiscretion', you shouldn't get to have a say. That just eliminated a good chunk of the loudest voices.

Giving someone CPR is an insult to all the people who've breathed on their own for years.

Do I believe that Jen Psaki is what happens when Biden cast the patronus charm against he who shall not be named? Yes, why yes, I absolutely believe that.

A secret of UX is this quote:

“Remember: when people tell you something's wrong or doesn't work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.” – @neilhimself

Sorry, can't participate in the online "trauma is an overused term" debate, too busy working w/ traumatized people who already had a hard time acknowledging what happened to them, and are now worried they're gonna be mocked on the internet.

I assume the Gazpacho Police specialize in cold cases?

[Kate Rufener @KateRufener]

Saying that a marginalized voice 'isn't right because they're angry' is cruel and the height of insensitive. Anger is a signal - neither good nor bad. But lack of kindness? That's a choice.

[Kate Rufener @KateRufener]

Kindness & Anger can exist in the same moment. Anger isn't the opposite of all 'good' emotions. Anger is a signal, Kindness is a behavior.
