The ‘we told you so’s are less about Being Right than hoping to be listened to next time & reaffirming that ourselves that we were being gaslit & should continue trusting our judgment.
But being right? Every time we’re right about this stuff our lives get worse. Nobody would sign up for that deal.

This would be a great OER project if it doesn't already exist.

I cannot wait for new features to drop here for so many reasons but this eventual discussion is one of them.
Talking about how folks shouldn’t be in white spaces, while having a white person in your bedroom every night is bizarre btw.

I don't think a lot of folks realize how much money is being spent to make you feel hopeless.
That's not something that's just happening of it's own accord.
Monied interests are ruining themselves to make us believe progress can't happen.
But progress is inevitable.
It always has been.
