i dont think better ideas beat your ass any harder. i just think your conception of what makes an idea good changes when you actually try to implement one

[Sulima @SulimaElemam]

@AustinYoshino I agree with you there. There's nothing more inherently moral/ethical (or logical) about atheism. There's nothing more inherently moral/ethical about faith either. I appreciate you taking the time to discuss btw

[Sulima @SulimaElemam]

@AustinYoshino I avoid calling myself an Atheist because of the intolerance, white supremacy etc that is associated with the term. But I and many of my family members and friends truly do not believe in the religious vision of the world and many do call themselves atheists. Thats who I mean.

[Sulima @SulimaElemam]

@AustinYoshino Professed atheists. Like if you ask "what's your religion?" They would say "I'm an atheist"

[Sulima @SulimaElemam]

@AustinYoshino That's possible. But like vegans for instance, I think it's probably the annoying people you hear from most. I know plenty of Muslim/Jewish/Christian born atheists who respect faith, history and culture but simply can't bring themselves to believe in God.

[Sulima @SulimaElemam]

@AustinYoshino I also think that's an unfair characterization of atheism that refers mainly to the White Supremacist New Atheist movement.

[Sulima @SulimaElemam]

@AustinYoshino I think that if you are professing capital A atheism as a belief system as opposed to falling out of a religion you were raised with into a state of non-belief, it's fair for religious Socialists to ask you about your political relationship to religion.

I have been asking journalists and politicians for many years to articulate a moral case for borders—and in general the concept of detaining and deporting a human being based on where they were born—and none has ever done it. It’s astonishing how flippant he is here about something he has probably never thought seriously about and certainly has never publicly supported with coherent words.

the slow & inconsistent violence of Sudan's
war is meant to anesthetize...ppl care less b/c the numbers arent spectacular, but it isnt just the bombs & drones killing ppl: it's the lack of access to meds, to food, to shelter (esp. w/ summer coming) & clean water

@offbeatorbit I have been learning to drive at 44 and can confirm that it's petrifying.

Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City.

These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today.

@NewJerseyOAG You can't say people are "armed" with shields, helmets and gas masks. Those aren't weapons. That is defensive equipment meant to protect UN-armed protesters from the aggression of the ARMED forces of the state.

@PoopingIRL @AuthorialGail There's a Frans de Waal book about exactly this: Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

Dandelions aren't really invasive by any measure. No state agency lists them as invasive, and multiple federal agencies (USDA, USFS) take care to specifically categorize them as naturalized. In wild areas they follow disturbance, do not displace natives, and fade after a decade.

also people love it so much when a woman is stupid they don’t necessarily wait for a woman to be stupid to start celebrating
