@FlexedUpLex I do it too. they see our worst moments, but they also see our best. as long as we try to remember that the connection often matters more than whatever it is we're trying to get them to do. more support for us also goes a long way too... I know I could def use more support tbh.

Inspired by a zoomer asking how to get an article that was no longer being hosted (but was on wayback) -- what are a list of tech know-hows you wish you could teach every zoomer?

I’m extremely saddened to hear of the passing of James C Scott. He was a stunningly original thinker, who asked truly significant questions, and whose work has become foundational to several different disciplines. To me personally, he endowed a sense of the fundamental significance, across history, of peasant practices, which are inherently difficult for states to understand. My current work on the crisis of the peasantry in the 21st century would not have been possible without his inspiration and many conceptual breakthroughs.
Like countless others of his students and readers, I am sad to know there will be no more books with his name on them; however, I celebrate a long and brilliant career, whose extraordinary output will continue to inspire for a long time to come. Thank you, Professor Scott.

R.I.P. James C. Scott.
A brilliant scholar and committed anarchist who dedicated his life to proving that, until quite recently, "self-governing peoples were the great majority of humankind," and that states are neither inevitable nor desirable.

Decolonization is not about regaining a romanticized past. It’s about dismantling structures of domination in the present by any means necessary so that an alternative future is possible.

I think if you were someone's child you have the epistemic credentials to judge how meaningful parenting is, unless parenting isn't really a relationship and isn't really about the child

To the dead-eyed, caring about others so hard you would sacrifice for them, is scary and freakish. This is the conservative coalition in our era: anyone that finds compassion horrifically alien and viscerally revulsive.

Kinda crazy how Angola and Congo don't even merit a mention in even the most exhaustive of Kissinger's obituaries

Friends calling me to scream KISSINGERS DEAD!!

This is the only appropriate justification for calling someone.

we need to drop this whole edgy mean heartless persona that our generation has going on. there is so much evil in the world. it’s so cool to care. it’s so cool to love others. it’s so cool to educate others. u can love people for no reason. u can be nice to people for no reason.

The owner of the restaurant chanted "From the River to the Sea" at a protest. Video of it went viral, he was doxxed, and they burned his place down.
