Ed Sheeran: you know, I also sold out

I heard Gen McMasters this morning on NPR talking about how American helped “civilize” Iraq and even before it became offense, I threw up a bit in my mouth. We are entirely uncivilized - because what civilized person or society agrees with this - let alone executes it?

Not a woman or anyone who is a shade darker than pasty white. The is not the Christianity I was brought up with… and it is likely not even remotely Christ-like (in that he was likely not white).

It’s good to stay humble. We are only relevant while we are actively relevant. And that is ok. Life is not a straight line, either up or down.

Troy Jackson may not be as “dynamic” as Graham Platner, but he has plenty of support in Maine. (Although this picture is from South Portland so… no surprise)

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I have never bought or donated $$$ on FB. They don’t have my credit card info or real birthdate… I also don’t integrate with other apps nor do I use fb login on other sites (and only sparingly with Google). Not 100% fail safe but I am not going to make things easy either.

Women Are Not Safe Around Men

This is a fact. The data is unambiguous and the solutions exist. The only thing missing is the will to act.

This is, culturally, why so many men are angry and reactionary. Women are finally able to act on the fact that relationships cost more in their emotional labor rather than add value (IVF and egg freezing has liberated them from anxiety). The ROI is not there. www.oprahdaily.com/life/wholene...

What is up with all the Mahjong parlors opening up in my area? Given the way my mind works, I wonder how it relates to the political and economic environment we find ourselves in. Escapism? Need for community/connection? Interest in women’s only spaces? A place for wealthy women to “hide”?

Most innovation is now happening at the intersection between disciplines. This isn’t just education - our organizations have no structure to support cross-disciplinary excellence. We keep trying to force organic systems into industrial systems - sub-optimizing both.

American Samoans are nationals, but not citizens. Do you know what this distinction means? Neither did they, and the result was they were prosecuted for voting in a local AK election. The good news is that the prosecutions were dropped, but when you hear about voter fraud, its often cases like this.

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

Ms. Rachel post:
"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.

"If more than 20,000 white children were killed in another part of the world, everyone would be shouting about it at their concerts. Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."
