Reposted by Marian CallAubrey Gordon @yrfatfriend.bsky.social · 23hI'm glad folks are talking about the misuse of therapy speak, and we gotta do something similar with the language of social change.

Reposted by Marian CallAubrey Gordon @yrfatfriend.bsky.social · 23hThis is all complicated by a political landscape that seems resistant to change, and to efforts to create change. But that all underscores the need for more of us to be students of change, to observe what creates movement, to look for opportunities to shift the balance of power, and push on those. 11979
Reposted by Marian CallAubrey Gordon @yrfatfriend.bsky.social · 23hIn addition to the broader literacy crisis, we're also in a power literacy crisis. Many folks deeply misunderstand how political power works, who has it, and how to build it. And all of that is happening while more folks are using the language of organizing without grasping its most basic tenets. 4627104
