Black History Month for White Folks Not to be that guy, but I’m gonna be that guy

Thank you for this! I love the philosophical frame the author asserts. I read this article on the same day I finished this book & tbh I need a collective next step that synthesizes both of these lokiexcelsiorsmith.substack.com/p/black-hist...

I wish more people were talking about this non answer from city government. (Clipped from 1-21 FAQs linked here) www.portwashingtonwi.gov/home/showpub...

I am just finishing it. This book is so relevant, both urgent & helping me understand value of looking forward. I’d love to see a bibliography of books that amplify hopefulness & antidotes to these poisons he names

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

I appreciate this reminder today @stephmcmillan.bsky.social I’m also grateful for chosen family 💖
