My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.

the point of freeing yourself from the prison of ego is not getting there you’re not gonna do that. never gonna happen. the point is cultivating a practice of routinely asking “wait, I am too into my own shit here?” in every aspect of your dealings at least once or twice a day. anyhow good morning

boycotts are easy to understand! when the union says "please boycott this company until they give workers a fair shake," we just don't go there any more! we can stop by the picket line and donate lunches or money, too! solidarity is fuckin awesome! with enough of it we can change the world!

A mature community is like a wonderfully mature fruit tree. It gives shade and comfort, food and even stability to the very soil that we walk on. You have to start investing in it when it's nothing and keep on tending it. And eventually you can sit in its branches, lean and rest on it.

my favourite opinion about Homer is: it’s an oral text so it is much MORE authentic to listen to the audiobook than to read the Iliad or Odyssey on the page. watching it as a film while people around you eat, drink & chat is more authentic than reading it quietly to yourself in a silent library.

if I announced some renovation on a public property that everybody said was a terrible idea and then I did it anyway, and it immediately failed catastrophically, so I sent police to guard my reno catastrophe & then said what happened was vandalism, you'd call me a deranged old man & you'd be right
