This has become a common deflection in the face of suffering. Healthcare is broken? Don't bother w/ self-care or compassion til it's fixed - it's been broken for decades. People hungry a/ hurricane? It's climate change & poor infrastructure. Be like the @WCKitchen and feed people

I can't tell if this is happening more frequently or if I'm just noticing it more often, but I don't love the argument strategy where people criticize a policy initiative aimed at a specific problem because it wouldn't solve a broader, more complex social ill.



To me, it also means to be aware of injustice - not passively, but keeping my eyes open, seeking ways to learn, and listening to what the people affected have to say

Woke is essentially saying be respectful to people who aren't like you. Don't be transphobic, don't be ableist, don't be racist in your deeds or your language. Make space for marginalized people. Be aware of the needs of others even if you don't understand their journey.



This picture made me yawn

The case dispatches several assumptions associated with police reform.

This is appalling

1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies. 🧵 popular.info/p/florida-teac…

While I have to acknowledge that I have yet-to-be read books on my table, I really want to explore some of these authors

Good thread on this troubling episode. I was very disappointed in the glib response to the tragedy of Pocahontas' life

Well said. We all have to start by listening. Listening = Love

Great advice. Sometimes, the basics are the best

I don’t suffer from my disability… i suffer from the way society treats me and the infrastructure of societies building without disability voices



This is everything - this is how to end the week.

This is appalling and totally unacceptable. This is not an apology and the University should know better than to release this. Where's the accountability and consequences? #StopAsianHate
