at work we're trying to figure out how to make white people with self-reported high racial literacy be more humble about reckoning with the ways that white supremacy appears in our lives and minds and i'm THIS close to proposing that we just put this image at the top of every session

β€œwhy do you hate technology” as though β€œtechnology” were some discrete entity divorced entirely from the context of what it does and what it creates, rather than a category so broad as to constitute reality itself

this thing of β€œit’s actually so complicated” is so exhausting! you’re never allowed to come to a conclusion because doing so is somehow proof you haven’t considered it enough!

remember when everything was possibly cake and we were driven mad by the possibility that everything was cake? don't you wish everything was possibly cake now instead of probably ai? we were such fools to squander a cake-based reality.
