This piece is interesting because the tropes it uses show up in everyday acts of racial aggression. E.g. instead of addressing the action, the writer addresses the personality of the white murderer.

Hmm maybe this is a sign we should not be letting any random parent dictate what reading materials are available to an entire school’s study body? jta.org/2023/05/24/uni…

If you’re fine with your children undergoing active shooter drills every year but lose your shit over them potentially seeing the pride section at Target, you make no sense and are staggeringly unfit for parenthood.

The best thing about being in #academia is the work hour flexibility. I'm completely in control as to which one of these three long weekend days will I get to take off. Feeling blessed emoji.

It's incredibly sad that Elizabeth Holmes' children are going to be without their mother in their most formative years because she made the self-serving decision to specifically get pregnant multiple times ahead of her trial in hopes it would keep her from going to prison.

She was not "her own victim." A Theranos scientist who tried to blow the whistle was intimidated into silence and then committed suicide. Sick people got bad test results that altered their medical treatment. Many real victims of Elizabeth Holmes. wsj.com/articles/the-p…

white ppl rly dont understand that racism isnt about intent. its an entire system and way of thinking that you need to dismantle very deliberately, all the time, because its so pervasive and because all white people benefit from it

i miss when always sunny looked like it was filmed on a 2002 panasonic camcorder and all the actors looked like none of them had eaten or slept properly in days

A+ thread. Also, a thing I learned from a deaf friend as a teen - if you say something and they're reading your lips, and they ask you to repeat and you say nevermind? Don't do that. He said it was very frustrating and dehumanizing - like he wasn't a person worth their time. YMMV
