iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Tell that child to hold her ground. Nine more years, she can come find us, probably living somewhere underground, her people who understand her frustration, her eye-rolling, her silent “why???” when others are fawning in delight and expressing their inexplicable love for Mariah Carey.

Because it's buried at the bottom of the article and CNN is presenting it in a misleading way: before people worry, the "unknown" part is how the worker was exposed, the pathogen is good old fashioned Y. pestis which we understand extremely well and can treat just fine if caught early

Let's stop using anodyne labels like "the immigration debate" or "controversy over migrants" and start referring to things accurately. "Expelling children who, by law, are entitled to remain in the country" or "imprisoning toddlers in concentration camps" or "pogrom"

In my state, even if a best case election scenario occurs, there are still so many things that are screwed to hell and it will take time and pressure to fix them all. Our work is far from over -- but the work is why we're here. 💙 Don't stop, don't give up, love is the why.

If you want to talk to somebody about it, you should absolutely chase that feeling, and talk to other dudes. But the women in your lives already know this is fucked up. I promise you. We know. Don’t make us nod politely while you process this out at your big age. We’ve got enough to worry about.

I don’t care who you are, I promise, the women in your life don’t need to hear “wow rape culture is awful” from you. I am very comfortable making this a blanket statement. You can either show up for them via your *actions* or you can keep on doing what you’ve been doing, which is nothing at all.

That might sound like good news, and sometimes it is. Shit can’t stay buried when there are this many people involved in a decision-making chain. But there’s one more, bigger problem, which is this: You don’t NEED to coordinate if everybody with a microphone already believes what they’re saying

From a soul level, I think it also speaks to an American (societal) culture that values production over people. A culture that disdains the vulnerable or anyone “weak” because they do not directly contribute enough to the bottom line. It’s dehumanizing. And from my theological perspective, evil.
