Y’all wanna hear the TRUE story of Nikki Haley? A thread

What’s become apparent in the last few years to me, is that a lot of people find the idea that they should have a responsibility and obligation to other people around them, highly oppressive. It’s a level of egocentrism that even children would be admonished for.

A world where you never have to go and think beyond yourself, where you can take without ever having to give, or experience the friction of being with others, of considering others who don’t immediately benefit you, is easy and comfortable. But it’s childish and embarrassing.

I wish I'd had this thread years ago. I've made many of these mistakes.

Heartbroken by this news. What an incredible talent. No one delivered lines like he did. No one.

When I teach professionals, I sometimes put them in groups to discuss and take notes. I specifically name that women are overwhelmingly called upon to serve as recorders, so I ask that every group assign a man to do this. The reactions are *wild*. Regularly, one man makes a 1/x

Talk about everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes. Feminist men, a word: learn to do all those things and DO them. Take the notes. Organize the group gift. Keep track of birthdays. Take the lunch order and call it in. DO a feminism, don’t just say it.

This painting is over 100 years old. It was made by a Swedish illustrator called John Bauer, one of the most important artists you've never heard of. His revolutionary art influenced everything from graphic novels to animated films to video games, and here's why...

lack of racist, sexist, classist, and other willfully ignorant views is not a lack of "viewpoint diversity"...it's just good practice. It's quite reasonable to not include factually erroneous and intentionally discriminatory viewpoints.

Fun little cultural observation by the nice woman at the coffee kiosk: "We have groups in all the time. No one, NO ONE drinks as much coffee as you people. I've never seen anything like it." #saa2024 Great conference, everyone. Stay caffeinated!
