William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Did you know a grandmother’s trauma gets genetically passed down to grandchildren? Consider what that means and the impacts. 200
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025It’s impossible to fix anything if you don’t acknowledge how it got broken - or even that it is broken - in the first place. 010
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Shout out to Lee Atwater for doing such a fine job perverting safe spaces into the GOP for them. The man knew he was so awfully wrong he begged forgiveness on his deathbed. Meanwhile his best buddy Roger Stone, meh, not so much. 000
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025This story is literally about a slave ship that kidnapped people from Africa. It’s as if someone was talking about Jeff Epstein and you felt the reflex to comment that all sex abuse is bad. 100
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025How the hell can America aspire towards improving if we won’t even accept or acknowledge past wrongs, injustices and outrages? 000

William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025www.bbc.com/future/artic...bbc.comCan the legacy of trauma be passed down the generations?Our children and grandchildren are shaped by the genes they inherit from us, but new research is revealing that experiences of hardship or violence can leave their mark too. 000

William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/20253 - Or you are free to ignore the science and continue condescending from your high horse about the inability of people to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. The science won’t care. It exists and will persist. 200
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/20252 - consider also that the grandmothers’ trauma across the world are also passed on - for example, what that means throughout Europe after WW2. Those experiences echo and affect people over generations. 110
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/20251- I’m happy to give you some information that you might not know. The experiences of a grandmother are genetically passed on to her grandchildren. Consider the horrors of slavery, the century long shadow of Jim Crow, and what that means in light of the science. 200
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025They tried pretty hard to hide the Clotilda but truth, uh, finds a way. 001
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025The last one of the victims died in the early ‘40s, iirc. The Meaher family, descendants of the criminal who organized it, are doing pretty well in the area today. There’s a good documentary- Descendant - on the story streaming on Netflix. 051
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025People are really getting hung up on the word “allege” which is just accurate reporting when it’s hasn’t yet been corroborated/verified. I understand the outrage. But getting this worked up over a single word is more the mentality - and injustice - of an angry mob. 010
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025This is how I imagine the Himmler/Hitler conflict during the last week or so of the Reich. Sadly we’re no where near the end of the trump regime. 000
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Pretty sure freedom of speech is still a thing. If figures like comey stfu that’s not a good thing. And I’m not exactly a fan of his bungling or opinions. 010
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 09/07/2025My thoughts? Don’t rely on AI for opinions on anything. It’s idiocratic to turn to the machine on something like that. 040
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Stunning but not. www.latintimes.com/trump-admin-...latintimes.comTrump Admin Moves Quietly To Drop Charges Against MS-13 Leaders, Cites Other National Security PrioritiesThe Trump administration is reportedly willing to drop charges to MS-13 leaders despite promising to prosecute them during both of his terms. 010
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Wait’ll you see what this does to oil prices. And we all know MAGA will cite that as proof why we need to drill for oil all over. It’s creating a problem to sell a solution. 110
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 22/06/2025No. The war powers act just calls for notice etc after, iirc. I get why the office of the president is given wide latitude and a fairly free hand to act quickly. The issue comes when the potus is the polar opposite of thoughtful/considered. Iran isn’t just going to take this with no response. 010
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 22/06/2025I’m sure that exactly how Iran’s regime feels. It’s not like they have a history of waiting decades to settle old scores. 020
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 19/06/2025That you’re just lying again as you’re wont to do in your integrity free pursuit of power at all costs. Change my mind. 000

William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 12/06/2025I wonder how trump’s reich wing media will cover this? 000
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 27/04/2025I don’t know who exactly is responsible for this, but my fucking god they are parody geniuses. If it’s all AI we are soooooo thoroughly fucked.

William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 27/04/2025You forgot the part where the Supreme Court justice prances around with Harlan Crowe in crowe’s garden of beautiful fascist statuary. 000
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Thanks trump. The US is going to be about as appealing to the world as an Amish beauty contestant. 000

William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I’m not sure what exactly you want. I don’t deny any of that. You’re needlessly dunking on a teammate. 000
William Kilby @digital-refugee.bsky.social · 02/04/2025It’s also an aspiration to right this ship. I think that is MAGA’s weakness. The US has a tradition of aspiring to do a better job, to right our mistakes, to help others, and be that shining city on a hill. Fixating on a past America that really never was isn’t gonna get anywhere. 010
