1) Everyone is always at least a little wrong, you included
2) It isn't bad to be wrong unless you stay wrong
3) You can always look closer, and you can always zoom out; be strategic
4) The more different things you do, the better
5) You have to give *and* take, not just one or the other

today it is the trans privilege of being fired from a TA job for grading papers to basic academic standards.
tomorrow it will be something else that is equally as degrading & incomprehensible.

"Gamers don't deserve games or the work people put into them" remains one of my most steadfast beliefs.
One of the great failures of modern gaming is convincing players they can play for an unlimited amount of time and not get bored
Mate, you played the same game for SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING HOURS
Do literally anything for 75 hours and see how fun it stays...

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.
Nah, bullshit tbh. You don't deal with the presence of transphobes by debating them. That the guy arguing no felt comfortable doing so and wasn't immediately heckled into silence speaks to a fundamental fucking rot.

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

it’s fun watching people see what trans folks have been warning of for years. the media has no capacity to inform about the politicization of health care
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

oh, you live in the core neighborhoods of your city? good luck buying toothpaste or deodorant on a whim ever again.
Still wild to me that companies got together and lied about a mass shoplifting epidemic and fundamentally changed things in all stores so that it’s worse for everyone, and then we found out they lied, and no one fucking did anything about it, and this is just life now

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!
“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!

like when people talk about language rights for minorities we usually talk about that with the weight of human rights language, but when something smacks of gender everyone uses all these cutesy little phrases to trivialize what we’re actually talking about

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

It's very cruel that not only is our generation forced to rent forever, we're increasingly forced to share rentals forever too. If we're being honest, not everyone is cut out for having housemates. Not everyone is even safe to live with in the first place. And I think the cruelest irony of all is...

you need to call out how paypros restrictions arent on the transaction, but on the way they are pressuring platforms to drop/censor content that they have decided is verboten
