THREAD: I’ve been thinking a lot this week about the Britney Griner exchange and trying to understand why some have questioned her release and have been disappointed in the swap. It’s interesting to see the uproar implying it was not a “fair” trade… that some how WE lost because

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.
Don’t you dare act surprised.

Hello. Young kids back in school are so sick right now. Everyone with a preschooler has an entire household of sleepless viral cough snot fevers for the past two months without a fucking break. So if you know a parent going through this, be kind and gently hit them with your car.

I believe in free speech but I also don’t want to spend the rest of my life debating the Jewish Question with people who don’t believe in the concept of truth

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

We say we don't have a dress code in tech and we pretend to have an inclusive culture but in fact we do and this dress code and culture disproportionately affects women.

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

Florida's students spoke loud and clear this week against the GOP's bill to cancel free speech and LGBTQ people, and they're going to #SayGayAnyway.

Just saw this being shared, it's iffy in more ways than one, so here's a bit more info.
This is the Sebara Dildiy (which means broken bridge) across the Blue Nile and it shows the situation as it was over a decade ago.

I mean they destroy lives physically and emotionally. And just like Black children are taught to run and hide, white children learn the power they have over us. Accountability for their actions is an exception not the rule. While punishment for us is the rule not the exception /x

I don't want to talk about Black history month. I want to talk about Black present month. February 2021.
2021: People are still calling for unity with violent racists, while the violent racists openly plan to steal the franchise back from Black folk.

If anything be angry that people work 40 hour weeks and can't support themselves. Be angry that they can't afford health care. Be angry that people are forced into poverty. Be angry that wealthy people drive a system that's inherently unfair. 5/5

When we uplift other people, we uplift ourselves. Your pay is not a direct reflection of your labor. It's just not. Saying your wages are degraded by uplifting someone else to livable standards is selfish and unfair and misses the mark. 4/5
