Father of 3 adult children, Christian, vegan, anti-racist intersectional feminist. I believe in compassion for everyone and that Letterkenny is hilarious.
Always revealing to see what issues people choose to speak up about. Governments banning ideas and histories that cause white children to feel "anguish or guilt": Crickets. Super rich dude still rich, still has podcast, but has to address racist comments: Roar at the injustice.
50 years ago today, British Paratroopers shot dead 14 unarmed civilians during a civil rights march in Derry. The massacre became a worldwide symbol of state brutality – and community resilience. https://t.co/95Ob9qr0J1
Fun fact: even the CIA admitted that not only did Americans and Soviet citizens eat the same amount of food, but also that the Soviet diet was healthier. But communism is when “nO fOoD” 🙄
I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"
@offgridteacher Haven't read all the replies so I apologize if it's already been said: Having an adult come up to you in the bar, introduce themselves as a former student who you recall and never thought you reached. And having them thank you for teaching them something they carry to this day.
You know that special heartbreak when you come to the end of a great story? I got snuck up on this time...I did not realize how attached I got to these characters, til the book was ended, now I'm just sitting in that space of happy sadness. Once and Future Witches @AlixEHarrow
The best obituary for Joan Didion wasn’t written by any of the major newspapers.
It was a letter to the editor from a former Brooklyn English teacher in the NYT.
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live, she said. All storytellers leave immediate survivors, I’m saying.”
Very thankful that vegan is the norm and expectation at our family holiday gatherings. Hugs and solidarity to those of you who are flying solo and listening to the 1 millionth iteration of the "but bacon" joke ❤️
Does anyone else get part way through reading a tweet or watching a Tik Tok, or some such thing, then audibly say, "bored" as you scroll past it? No? Yeah, me neither...
