@LupeFiasco Art is locked in an eternal battle between spirituality and propaganda.
Study art history and you will see thousands of years of art being used to align people of power to gods. Below the surface is a trend of artists reclaiming their power through self-portraits.

I don't shop at Amazon because I feel like it is irresponsible capitalism for what I value. I feel Twitter is irresponsible capitalism now. I often vote with my money. If I AM money to others, then I will take my value elsewhere.
@theharrisonpro2 It's called hoovering. It is a form of emotional abuse that occurs when someone feels threatened by another person withdrawing from or leaving a relationship. Most often presented by people with a personality disorder like narcissism.
@treelzebub @treelzebub I get @'d in Slack every day even to questions I asked in channels I started and even in DMs, and man... it's just so much more noticeable and great, @treelzebub. @GrayBlue knows what i'm talking about, right @GrayBlue ? @TwitterSupport2 needs deeper threading.
@Ryan_Daigler I often defer to pickier people because I am easy going and don't want to fight. I've noticed that the rare occasion I do feel a firm preference, there is not only zero deference, but actual frustration with me wanting to provide input.
@jtcmommi@DAVIDRA81650411@POTUS And the way to counter the inflation caused by Trump dropping the interest rates, is to raise the Fed interest rates. At least Biden is focused on solving problems instead of being a complainer President.

@monkeyscanbiteu@POTUS Under Biden the Fed is taking corrective action against the stagflation under Trump. You can't have low interest rates right now AND slow inflation.

@life_raider@POTUS You have it backwards. Low interest rates under Trump contributed to inflation, as did his poor pandemic response and free money printing. Under Biden the Fed is using rising interest rates to fight inflation.

@LanaS72045350@Ryan_Daigler I second Grey Rocking. Be kind, but distant/unavailable. Focus on your internal well-being, while brushing off their external projections. They will keep cycling through the above pattern to regain control. Their insecurities are their responsibility, not yours.
