This is the point I keep making about Gen X and Boomers, especially those of color. The way Jim Crow, the War On Drugs & the AIDS crisis shaped the US needs to be studied

What’s your favorite word?

I’m fond of the ones that sound like what they are. Shenanigans! Stupendous! Spectacular!

…apparently I also have a thing for the letter S.

sometimes if you’re awake at 5 am it’s because somebody was gonna say something you needed to hear, wow

Nothing written on the profile.
Almost all couple profiles.
No real pictures.
“No drama.”
If their only personality trait seems to be working out.
Anything anti-LGBT.

There are probably more. lol

Just had one of those naps that had me questioning what day and century I woke up in.

Both!

Ohh! Who? Do I know them?

(I tend to be redundant when curious. lol)

Good communication is the death of drama.

Good for #relationships. Bad for #storytelling. #writesky

Always to return ♥️

So true. So little peace.

Versus convo with someone who has watched the #Severance finale.

Convo with someone who hasn’t been able to watch the #Severance season finale yet.

Might actually be the greatest episode of television I’ve ever watched.

“They give us half a life and expect us not to fight for it.”

#Severance is really resonating tonight.

🧵7/7
Those at the top believe they are better, that they deserve it. Those at the bottom feel guilty and responsible for their struggle.

It is all a lie. Living should not cost a thing.

🧵6/7
We are told that the rich need the “incentive” of more money for them to create jobs. We are told that the poor need less money so that they will pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

🧵5/7
We ignore generations of racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, and colonialism. We ignore that capitalism always leads to inequity. We call corporations “people” and call the billionaires “too big to fail.”

🧵4/7
We all live on this planet. We all need its resources.

Yet, we speak of American Dreams and trickle-down economies. We listen to tirades against the poor in which they are called lazy.

“Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself.”
-William Dean Howells

“An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.”
–Plutarch

🧵2/7
A sparkly diamond can go for hundreds of millions of dollars, but the bottle of water that keeps us alive? A few quarters.

Our priorities are screwed up.
I’m not saying water should be expensive or diamonds should be cheap, I’m saying nothing should have a price tag on it.

🧵1/7
I am not a capitalist. Not only that, I don’t believe in money.
I hate money.

Little pieces of paper and metal that have value.
Why are they valuable? Because we say so.
That’s it. That’s all.
We agree it means something, so it does – a shared delusion.

Sometimes this is the only thing that gets me talking.
