Unfortunately this is respectability politics, which is ultimately (you guessed it) gender
I do think we're suffering from years of awkwardly dancing around people in our lives believing in the most rancid insane conspiracies. It needs to be acceptable to stare blankly at someone rambling about Vince Foster and tell them that's the stupidest shit you've ever heard.

While Phil Knight has kindly donated money to various orgs and institutions in Oregon, let’s not forget he's also dumping money to defeat Democrats.
It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.

Besties, get the fuck off of twitter. It's been long past time, just stop.
Any attention given to that cesspool is "good" attention to them. Stop engaging, stop sharing tweets and screenshots, just let it fade away into obscurity.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Living in the pnw as a brown woman, yep. And over the years, I've become much more selective about who I spend my precious time with/interact with.
Growing up Black in a heavily white majority state and life in other similar states has shown me a few things:
1. White people, even very liberal and leftist white people, do not understand privilege.
2. These people do not generally understand what it means to have the government target you.

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)

You can get a turkey sandwich 365 days of the year, people just don’t cook a whole turkey on a regular basis because it’s the size of a subwoofer bsky.app/profile/ashw...
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole
don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

idk how to put this, but there's a level of solidarity and “protect your neighbor” culture in the south that the pnw simply can't compete with. I say this as a pnw girl through and through. If you are lucky enough to not have to worry about ICE + have the bandwidth for it, look for ways to help.

Q: "Why is nursing being dropped as a professional degree?"
A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."
A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."
About 1 in every 20 nurses in the US are Filipino.♥️🇵🇭
The Philippines is better at educating and training large numbers of high quality nurses for less educational cost, than most other nations. Better than the USA.
This isn't just "cheap labor." This is pride in excellence of service to others.

I wish we could make a legally-binding contract for all these folks who are so anti-immigrant so that they could be relieved of the burden of getting medical treatment from folks who are immigrants or children of immigrants, which would free up tons of care for others.
