I agree. It's also inconceivable to me how cops murder unarmed Black people, and they get off scot free while their dead victims get vilified and mocked. White Supremacy is a bitch ain't it? Especially when you realize it doesn't discriminate, and your badge or skin color can't save you from it.

There are a lot of parents focused on getting gentleness *for* their sons, but not expecting their sons to show gentleness to anyone else. And that’s just male entitlement in liberal window dressing.

I Want Diane Seuss to Teach Me How to Become a Man

after Diane Seuss’s “Romantic Poet”

by Daniel Naawenkangua Abukuri

I cherish the boys who cry in parking lots, who lean against dented Hondas
holding their faces. I love the boys who apologize to stray cats after scaring
them away. The ones who carry flowers badly, stems bent in their sweating
fists. But mostly, let’s be honest, I like Diane Seuss for the way she makes
ruin sit down beside beauty without either one pretending. Ostensibly,
becoming a man is less about hardening and more about surviving softness.
Don’t laugh. I grew up believing manhood was a locked jaw, a fist through
drywall, a silence thick as wet cement. But Diane Seuss writes men like
weathered barns still standing after years of snow and bad harvest. She
lets them ache openly. Lets them fail magnificently. Lets them drink
coffee at midnight while admitting they are lonely. And inside my own
body, under the borrowed swagger, under the deep voice I practice on
buses, there is a small frightened animal wanting permission to stay gentle.

And let’s be clear. This white person is weaponizing their identity while completely erasing the targets identity to feign being slighted. That’s what racists do *all the time.* Because when you are white, you believe only your identity matters. That behavior is dead giveaway.

It’s not that hard to disagree with someone and keep it civil. I do it all the time. White people who do not respect the agency of Black folks specifically always want to escalate a disagreement to something it doesn’t need to be because they are offended by the idea of someone Black disagreeing

That person even admits they caught an unnecessary attitude with Dr Cottom, which she rightfully clocked. But instead of taking accountability for being unnecessarily hostile, that whiteness jumps out and tries to paint a fair assessment of behavior as *transphobic.* That’s just nefarious.

This. When Andrea Dworkin said rape is the weapon that all men use to control all women, she wasn't saying all men rape. She was saying 1. Non-raping men permit rape to be as common as it is 2. Raping and non-raping men use the fear of "other" men to gain "good guy" status a short thread...

Where, according to Zillow, is rent the cheapest? Our city is in the top 10 with rent under $1,000/month, but it's not one of the cheapest cities to rent relative to local income, which is problematic. www.zillow.com/learn/cheape...

When Black people tell one another “Be safe” or “Stay safe” at the end of a phone call, it can feel like casting a small spell of protection. The words cannot control what waits outside, but they carry our hope into the world with the person on the other end of the line.

“Conservatives can’t make art” is what I consider a reductive thought bc, for me, it is still connected to the incorrect idea that only “good” people can make good/compelling art. Which, as I’ve said before, is part of what makes it so difficult for ppl to critique artists whose work they enjoy.

For one, ppl are just complicated. It’s much easier to consider somebody to be a bad person than it is to consider someone to be unilaterally good And the truth, as always, is: “bad” ppl do good things, “good” ppl do bad things. Anybody can have good ideas and create something moving/inspiring.
