@JustPruNow @Pointy07 @GerryHughes59 @natstev @3annier @JFracci @kiddle @kenseysmom @GlassHeart5 @Leonesse8 @Poetic_Vogon @Na0sGlass Happy election day! I am so glad you all exist in this world.

[Dessy Levinson @whyiwatch]

@thedak Yup. Rattled the whole house here.

So I was conversing with a dear friend about how much the inauthenticity of social media bothers me deeply. I have a visceral response to it, which causes me to skulk off in a corner and stay quiet. But, she rightfully pointed out that if I don't speak my truth—if I don't show up as the authentic presence that I crave— then I am just contributing to the current dynamic. A non-vote is a vote, especially this year.

@JustPruNow Welcome back, Pru! Hope you're feeling better. My mentions are suddenly alive & kicking again with you being back. You inspire me in many ways (including tweeting again for the first time in ages).

@Meysocial I’m very sorry. It’s painful to witness others appearing not to care (or even celebrating) pain. My DMs are open if you need someone who’s willing to listen. I’m also reminded of Parker Palmer’s saying: “Violence is what happens when we don't know what to do with our suffering.”

[Dessy Levinson @whyiwatch]

@Meysocial Hang in there! It’s really hard, but teens need to hear that adults care and that we can be honest and vulnerable. We set the examples on how to remain open-hearted in the face of darkness.

Anyone who murders civilians is evil. There is nothing to celebrate. Celebrating murder is evil.

Politics becomes so divorced from reality as to destroy our sense of moral judgment when ideological victory becomes more important than human life. And what is lost is human life.

[Samantha Rose Hill @Samantharhill]

Thread.

I finished teaching a course on evil last Thursday. The last reading we discussed was Hannah Arendt’s “Thinking and Moral Considerations.” In the essay Arendt asks how politics can become so divorced from reality as to destroy our sense of moral judgment.

@Lionnesss @MargaretAtwood That was so right and precisely what I needed to find today. Thank you for helping it arrive.

[Dessy Levinson @whyiwatch]

@track7grrl Assembling at the ready, right next to @sarekins. Hope today is better for you, but if not, I’m thinking of you and sending warm hugs your way.

[Dessy Levinson @whyiwatch]

@saalon I love that story.

[Dessy Levinson @whyiwatch]

@DrPsyBuffy I haven't started saying my goodbyes yet (letting it sink in still), but I will miss your tweets.

[Dessy Levinson @whyiwatch]

@TerrHimself Happy Birthday to your grandma. She looks lovely and way younger than 90. May she stay healthy and happy!

“A human being becomes human not through the casual convergence of certain biological conditions, but through an act of will and love on the part of other people.”

@JustPruNow Happy Birthday, dear Pru! May all that ails you vanish with the night's air, and may the next year of your life bring good health, great joy, and even greater love. Thank you for being you! 🤗🪄💕

@thedak @OpenAI ping me and let's run prompts together! much of the fun in these is the collaboration and ability to freestyle –– it's like jazz with art and robots 🤯🪄

Have spent the past few weeks experimenting with #midjourney and the past two days with @OpenAI's #dalle2. #AIart is consciousness-expanding, therapeutic, and a whole new portal to two of our most healing emotions: curiosity & wonder. #AI Image thread >
