Truly racist people are a minority in this country, but systemically racist people, are almost all of us. Most of us do not want to participate in racist systems, but many times we don't even know that we are in them, or what we could do to stop contributing to the harm.

My purpose is to destroy racist systems by showing non-racist people where the leverage points are.

I can't make a racist person decide to break a racist system. I don't have that power. But that's not needed

Biden did a great job and didn't let the GOP ruffle his feathers, "I like conversation."

It was odd not seeing Nancy Pelosi on the stand.

It was great to see some applause from the GOP, although MTG pulled her go to move: throwing a tantrum. She's a hot mess and so needy.

I'm changing the meaning of MTG to Major Tantrum Gollum.

Watching the GOP boo Biden's intent to raise teacher salaries took some air out of DeSantis' overly inflated ego since he's raising teacher raises to get more votes lined up for 2024.

Please stop planning conferences, workshops, and events in states where pregnant people cannot safely travel

This idiot thinks she’s clever but really she’s just proving what a vapid, completely clueless, helmet wearing, window licking, crayon eating moron she really is.

This week I drove 3 and a half hours to my hometown so I could drop my goodwill bags off at the same store I got all my clothes in high school from.

I’m just here to compliment people and talk about nerd shit

My wife and I were talking about how when we were growing up, nobody ever said any food was spicy to us. It was just food. And you just had it, or didn’t. We weren’t trained to eat spicy food, or told we couldn’t eat something spicy because of our age. It was just food.

One of the major cultural differences I see here, I guess, is the idea that some types of food have some age requirement, especially ‘ethnic’ food. We just ate everything at all times.

As a #transgender person, I have thought about what it means to be a gender more than any cis person can imagine thinking about it.
I cried, prayed, and agonized about for years.
I got so introspective, I had a council of voices in my head to debate with.
I wanted to die for a long time because I thought that would be easier than wrestling with my own identity.

When I read about all this anti-trans legislation being passed across the country, across the world, I think about how fragile my sense of self really was when I was just a kid. I think about kids out there, right now, questioning and terrified to say anything, thinking they must be wrong or broken because adults know what's best, thinking they are less deserving of love and acceptance.
These kids.
These beautiful, sensitive, remarkable kids.
They are being taught to hate themselves.
Self-hate leads to self-harm; it leads to accepting the worst because you feel like you deserve it.

We can't let this continue.

If I knew how to fix it, I would.
I would have already.
But I don't.

and honestly, where is the lie

Don't move to the Mission and call in noise complaints on venues that were there before you by decades.

We need more joy and live music and nightlife and good food in this city.
