Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I think this is an irresponsible take. It's also objectively poor Risk Management. While you may argue the odds of him going through with his threat are extremely low, the cost of it happening are incalculably high. That makes it a risk that must be taken seriously and mitigated. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I've struggled with this in the past couple years. What is "healthy masculinity" that is not just "healthy humanity"? What makes it different from "healthy femininity"? What is excluded from masculinity and refused to femininity? I can't think of anything that is uniquely exclusionary by gender. 3160 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Consider that every time you ask a parent to help their kid with school, they have to revisit that lesson and learn/understand more themselves. So we are losing the parents, while also not educating the kids. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Coming back to add, I do think this has strongly to do with education. You can't improve test results with this sort of education. You can't reinforce it and strengthen it without parental involvement. You can't motivate kids to do this hard work on their own. So we stopped doing it, because? 100 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Our current world incentivizes this sort of polarizing connection to "best!" or "worst!" everything for engagement. Until we can stop socially, financially, and politically rewarding manipulation of human psychology, even laws and regulations will be worked around. 010 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I mean, ask a sociologist about it, but I'm inclined to think not. Because of what bubbles are and human nature and our natural inclination to "other" people to keep ourselves safe or protect our resources. We have to break down fear and safety instincts to do this, but many bubbles TEACH fear. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Sitting with those people, in person, watching the video together, and talking about it, in real time, breaking it down, and having a "teaching" conversation might help. But our culture doesn't do that any more. We can't even teach the skills in school, because one-on-one hardly exists. 0100 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 21/07/2025"shared what appeared to be". Seriously, the NYT, in its headline, uses "what appeared to be" to described this video. Who can take journalism seriously at this point? 010 0

Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Psychologically? Harder than you think. It's the difference between "you got this thing" and "you didn't have to give this thing". One is the addition of an actual gain, the other is the removal of a potential loss. That is conceptually hard for some people to hold onto. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 18/04/2025I think part of the reason you, and others, didn't think it would happen this fast is that you believe in the basic humanity of human beings. This sort of fundamental deficit of soul, counter to our evolution as a species, makes no sense to those who understand unconditional human respect. 000 0

Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Worth noting from yesterday: the SAVE Act will require additional steps to register to vote if your legal name doesn't match your birth certificate. But the only reason for that is because we use birth certificates to prove citizenship due to the whole birthright citizenship thing. 1/2 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Setting up requirements that will disenfranchise millions of voters because you didn't bother to first address access to the requirements before starting them is absolutely a shit-show of planning.

Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 02/04/2025When he struggled for what to say next, he turned to the stories from his constituents, the stories from leaders who came before him, and the stories of those who stood up for the shared human values he was appealing to. He focused on telling human stories, and to fuel hope for better. 010 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 02/04/2025He is trying very hard to emphasize shared experience, common human values, and collaborative process. With the help of his aids, he has stayed generally forward looking (even with historical references) and optimistic. We need more of this energy from everyone fighting FOR the soul of America. 0100 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 01/04/20254:06pm, Booker is getting loopy-tired, and yet still crushing it. I must point out, he is repeatedly emphasizing shared experience, avoiding accusation, and focusing on underlying values of care and keeping of our fellow humans. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Part of the challenge, I think, is that we have given more time on the floor to anger, to accusations, and to lies. Booker's stand focuses on giving time to stories, to shared experience, and to connection. Since this hasn't been done well recently, we need to do it well now. Build community. 060 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 01/04/2025He needs to be the first of many to do this. Some of them have the speaking skills to do this, they all have the aides to help them prepare.

Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 27/03/2025I am growing increasingly frustrated with the press taking these answers in good faith. He accused the student of acts she never did.

Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Schumer seems absolutely convinced that the administration needs a shutdown to "shift into overdrive" and cause harm. His imagination and attention are clearly lacking, as they're already doing this with detentions of numerous people, ridiculous demands of education institutions, and more. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 14/03/2025For all the "get their votes on the record" protests, the Dems didn't even try to do that. This seems like an opportunity lost. Not some fabulous opportunity for doing some great big thing, but a little next right thing. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I'm sure it repeats in history; humans are generally poor at shifting from long periods of stability and routine to addressing sudden chaotic and unpredictable change. I wonder if examining some of the thought process and skills of those who led out of those challenges would be illuminating now. \3 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I'm thinking of the current CR issue, and Schumer's statement that a shutdown would destroy the government, while seeming to not understand or believe the number of ways this new "ignore the law" administration will destroy it even with the government "open". 2/ 100 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 14/03/2025With your knowledge of history, could you share a bit about periods of great change where, in retrospect, a previous status quo made "obvious" mistakes in lack of imagination when determining the possible outcomes of their choices? 1/ 100 0

Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 12/03/2025If the democrats had not previously - years ago - thought about and determined what WOULD be enough to make them vote no on a budget, they neglected their job. A failure to plan for foreseeable events is a failure to do their job. 000 0
Tiffany @tarnalberry.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Voting NO on the budget CR and going to a shutdown is considered the "nuclear option". That doesn't mean it should never be used. If they don't vote NO on this, the Dems need to identify the conditions under which they WILL use this option, so they are prepared, and not caught AFTER they fall. 000 0
