I had a roommate who showed me a film made during Nazi Germany, a period film called The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen, and 20 minutes in a character shows up in blackface and I knee-jerk thought to myself "wait this Nazi film is racist!"
whenever I watch a video essay about coonskin the first thing they criticize is how quickly they started saying the n-word as if the name of the movie isn't fucking coonskin

I'll scroll some of you trans women's timelines and the only thing you have to say is mean snarky stuff and it kind of ends up bumming me out

older trans woman, she was on Facebook the whole date, I asked what she was looking at and she showed me her screen and a post showed it was her wedding anniversary and she stopped and called her ex wife and left a crying voicemail

"bisexual girlfriend of straight boyfriend" discourse bums me out because there a time in my life where I was the "straight boyfriend" and what I needed while closeted was not being denied access to queer community
but people are uncomfortable acknowledging the existence of eggs
If you’re bi and you’re wondering if it’s okay to bring your straight boyfriend to pride.
Ask yourself this question, and seriously think about it: “Is he going to be cool about it if a guy hits on him?”

first of all, this is about Pride which is an open to everybody,
second, assuming one marginalized group or another will inherently do harm is an incompetent way to build a safe event. Safety's about communication and visibility, not a curated guest list
I totally get it and generally agree, nuance that I think is missing tho is that (anecdotally) a non-small percentage of deeply closeted people are also not always safe people to be around/to have in community spaces

one of my favorite early quaker texts is John Woolman's Journal (1774) wherein the merchant's business is booming, but he soon realizes that scaling would burden his soul with "cumber" (unnecessary busyness) so he sabotages it to fail
perhaps llms can help us eliminate cumber.

I've been reading about Margaret Fell and the early Quakers. She died today in 1702.
I only knew of them through history books until we moved to central Indiana. There are a number of Friends churches in our area. #Quakers #SocietyOfFriends

Billy Wilder, who was one of the ones who escaped, noted about the other parts of his family "the optimists died in Auschwitz"

One of the things Tim Snyder points out in Bloodlands is that a surprisingly large number of *German* Jews survived the Holocaust. They saw it coming and fled to Britain or America early. It was the poor bastards in the former Russian empire who woke up with the SS at the door.

It's really funny reading about how the moment a Union soldier arrived at a plantation, the slaves instinctively booked it, leaving the slave owners scribbling in their journals "but I thought we were friends?"

I do think its really interesting that in both America and Haiti the emancipation proclamations were less magnanimous grants of freedom from enlightened abolitionists and more capitulations to the reality that slaves had or were actively in the process of freeing themselves

I read about it in the book Fall in the House of Dixie, the quote that I was remembering was a letter they cited

Information would travel through slave communities through whisper networks, so they were aware that the war was happening. The appearance of a Union solider comes with the conceit that the plantation owner's threat of violence has dissolved.

Were they booking it because men with guns were bad news or because they actually knew they were free? Because it could go either way, seems like.

Just a gentle reminder that Du Bois's Talented Tenth thesis was just a shitty first draft. After some 50 years of self-editing: "Naturally, out of the mass of the working classes, who know life and its bitter struggle, will continually rise the real, unselfish and clear-sighted leadership. This will not be automatic or continuous, but the hope of the future of the Negro race in America and the world lies far more among its workers than among its college graduates, until the time that our higher training is rescued from its sycophantic and cowardly leadership of today, almost wholly dependent as it is on Big Business either in politics or philanthropy." —Willie D.😉, In Battle for Peace (1952) @HammerandHope @AbolitionSchool
