Every day this summer that wasn't pouring rain, my older teen grabbed his soccer ball & water bottle & headed to the neighborhood field to play w/ literally anyone who was there. (He claims he can recognize "faster!" in five languages now.)

Here’s what dude is missing: he sees political views as topics like “the economy” when for a lot of ppl it’s not actually discussion topics so much as it is “my skin has this much melanin” or “I was born there” or “I’m this gender but was born with these chromosomes.” These are not up for debate.
The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.

Yesterday I was thinking about how quick white liberals were to engage with the horrors of ICE detention & how profoundly uninterested they still are in hearing how much of that has existed in the US for ages, and this is largely why. The former does not make them confront their own role in it.
It’s genuinely remarkable how complete the consensus around anti-Black racism as an unremarkable feature of public and political life has become.

this has bot written all over it but it gives me the opportunity to mention that there's a dude on IG who makes songs where the lyrics are just shit his 3 yr old has made up while they were playing or stories she told him and lemme tell you AI could NEVER come up with the tall tall tall little man
I'm sorry but this post is ridiculous. AI music is the next step towards musical inspiration. It could help with so many different ideas for songs, as well as making composing music be more accessible for those with the inability to do so. AI will be far better at composing music than humans anyway.

i don't know anyone who wants to talk to you about trans youth issues less than my trans youth. i think part of why they have mostly trans friends is bc it's not an interesting discussion topic.
it is one of the least interesting things about them, and it's all most people see.

this is so true!
I don't WANT to make shit about gender studies, there's WAY more qualified and patient people out there to do that!!
But there's this weird expectation that if you're a trans creator you're just making educational shit focused on trans issues and frankly it blows

In addition to that, its even* really hard to get eyes anything you make as a trans person that isn't specifically about *being* trans/queer.

Among the ICE abductions reported yesterday was a ~7:20 a.m. incident in Chicago's West Englewood neighborhood.
Per video shared online, ICE agents surrounded a car with a child in it, smashed the window and took the man in the driver's seat, as the woman next to him cried and prayed.
