I see, somehow you all rigged my power to go out, so I couldn't spend much time here today, and blocked my ability to vote. This election was rigged!
Ew, my own snark just made me feel oogie.

dani @danismashingitAs promised, here is the ballot to elect Spoutible's Shadow Board of Directors.
This is legally binding and not at all just a silly way to waste time.
Nominees were selected on vibes. Don't @ me. I'll invent completely real positions for others later.10:24 AM - Nov 30, 2023

I promise, I won't be spamming your timelines with the book (which should be available any moment now). But, if you are interested in getting a sneak peak of what's in there, follow my book bubbles on Bublish. #AmPublishing #Books

Andrea Jones @Andrea0123Rabbi Sharon Kleimbaum and Randi Weingarten made this point on The ReidOut. I truly believe this is the mentality we need to have regarding the Israeli and Palestinian conflict if we want to end the bloodshed and see peace.07:56 PM - Nov 29, 2023![We must reject the binary. To support Israeli Jews does not mean we cannot support Palestinians; to support Palestinians does not mean we cannot Israeli Jews.]()

Random thoughts from today's Spoutible experiences, a thread:
If you need to make a list of people to call into action a coordinated effort to protect other people from perceived pigeons, you are part of the problem
Block and move on.

Good #writing session this morning. I'm working on a new novel now. It's been a while, but feels good to be getting back into the swing.
If anyone wants a #AmWriting team, some friends and I are writing together at 8:30 am (EST) on Zoom. It helps sometimes to know there are others writing with you

Gone Goose from Syracuse✅ @GooseI’ve been weirdly serious the last couple of days. I haven’t had any great gimmick ideas (not that “great” has ever been my standard), so I’ve had no choice but to be sincere. Yuck!07:37 AM - Nov 29, 2023

I think that's the line that determines whether a question is disingenuous or not.
Often people ask not because they genuinely want to know, but because they want you to convince them that you're wrong about their preconceived notions. Read that again.

Honestly, subtle racism is almost worse. At least "overt racism" can be seen and fought, but sneak attack racism is vicious and brutal. Just a thought.

But I’m irritated more frequently by language like this. Because it is imprecise.

And what it means to say is, White middle class boys who used to be able to just glide through life because that’s
