That being said, I don't think @Kekeflipnote@twitter.com is getting a fair shake here.
The worst thing that happens here is we're unable to modulate our disagreement to fit the situation and/or individual.
We're so used to outrage it's become a default reaction, and that sucks.
THIS. Apathy is not positivity, and shouldn't be confused as such.
Being positive means actively supporting the things you want to see more of in the world and defending the people who are also exhausted by the mistreatment received from so many places.

@kestenan@twitter.com @Kekeflipnote@twitter.com It's true that we need to encourage spaces to be more positive, but we need to do so while recognizing that being supportive plays a big role in getting those positive experiences. Taking a passive stance on people's struggles because it doesn't feel good will end in harm.

'80s composers kill me cause they're always just like "Oh, you need an end credits song for your kids cartoon about zany raccoons playing in the forest? Okay, bet. I'mma go way too hard on it for literally no reason."

101 years ago, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an armed mob attacked Greenwood, a prosperous Black community.
We spoke to Tulsa historian Hannibal Johnson about the history of the massacre and what's being done today to repair and atone.

I'm beginning to think I might be *really* good at talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion. AND it's something I'm really passionate about.
Could this be my personal #ikegai?

Man, I really love playing gnomes in Dungeons and Dragons. <3 I'm always surprised and bummed when people shit on them so hard because they're just awesome.
Wimblyvort, my Arcane Trickster Rogue, is one of my favorite characters in a while. <3
Learning how to relace my shoes so they fit my feet better feels like such a basic, small lifehack but....oh my goodness does it make a difference.

Ya know how if you want to bring Tinkerbell back from the dead you gotta clap your hands?
Same for me except it's ass cheeks. The first thing I want to see upon rising from the dead is a bunch of y'all in a circle around me clapping those cheeks with all of your might.

3. The UN continues to call for yet more economic growth whilst simultaneously releasing reports by scientists saying we must now consider moving away from GDP/growth to stop the annihilation of species and habitat.
We're in an Extinction Economy.

I think I've entered the vivid dream stage of my t-break. Had this intense dream about my childhood home, a cathartic day with my mom, a hornet's nest on our back door, our basement redone into a gaming den, and the 2nd floor apt running a pop-up kithcen

So thanks for all the response to the Lackey/Nixon thing, it's given me a lot to think about and it's also clear there's a lot of history here that I'm not aware of.
I'm going to do a bit more learning and research on this, and reflect. Be kind out there, folks. <3
