You MUST by all means develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don't end up internalizing the beliefs others have of you.

people will hate school and then go on twitter to complain about the media literacy crisis (english) lack of logic in strangers (math) lack of knowledge about history and culture (social studies)

The fact that i survived seasons where my income wasn’t enough but my needs were still met will always be proof that God came through for me !

Your relationship with yourself cannot be built entirely around improvement. At some point, you have to become someone you are allowed to enjoy being. You get to be proud of who you are. Present tense.

Ring cameras, flock cameras, Meta glasses etc. all exist to expand the surveillance state and push us deeper into Technofeudalism.

It’s a damn shame what Pinterest did to that app. It’s unusable now.

You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we almost never question why billionaires are never satisfied with what they already have.

George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.

It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

Stop explaining racism to people who already know what they are doing. White supremacists do not want clarity, they gain pleasure from terrorizing people of color.

I got this Atlanta conspiracy theory that somebody is paying for all the recent violent crime to happen around MARTA. They want people to be afraid of MARTA, they don't want it to expand & they don't want MARTA a part of the Beltline

Dear Rich Black comedians: Racism isn’t a joke for us working Black folks still directly confronting it daily.

bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.

This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.

What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.

Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.

This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.

It’s not just a litmus test for misogyny. It’s also a clear sign of illiteracy. You can see you didn’t read transcripts or don’t have an understanding of the legal system. Who reads and believes fake news. Who only get their news from blogs and podcasts.

The Oscars banning Will for ten years is still ridiculous I am sorry. That’s abusers and pedo central like why are they acting brand new ?
