Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

"AI only offers suggestions based on your prompts. It's still your imagination."

No. Your imagination provides the germ of a story, expands it into sentences, phrases, paragraphs, chapters, culminating in a complete story. Using AI is "I have an idea," then someone else writes a story based on it.

You should never follow any of these color charts. They are all stupid.

I'll show you why. 🧵

Someone on Twitter posted a color chart for how to combine different shirts and pants.

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

Howard Zinn is a historian and author of multiple books including "A People’s History of the United States: 1492 - Present". Look back through the pages of history. You will find darkness but also light. Let it give you hope.

Goodnight 💚

To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

–Howard Zinn

More of this cis energy for non-cis folks please.

Also, David Tennant is amazeballs. 💜🥰🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #trans #pride #DrWho

David Tennant outside wearing sunglasses, a black ball cap and a black shirt with blue, white and pink lettering (trans pride colors) that reads "YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME". He's also holding a small Progress Pride flag (the intersex inclusive one) up against his ribs just below the lettering of the shirt. His expression is neutral. He's slightly unshaven with a bit of salt and pepper scruff.

People are seriously out there saying that young men lack strong male role models when men like Ryan Coogler and Pedro Pascal and David Tennant exist and it's like, you just mean you don't like the ones who *do* exist because it feels like too much effort.

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.
