I will be eternally grateful to have been born in a literate culture where literacy was valued and expected and I still had the time, attention, and freedom to develop a literacy practice. Understanding context, inference, vocabulary, perspective, affect — all powerful, useful skills and values.

You can't achieve your way to worth. You already have all the worth you'll ever have, which is the most anything can have, because it comes as part of being a human. None of the praise or blame you receive can touch that. It's not the stakes you're playing for when you make something.

I also like “if the DSA is the face of the Democratic Party, we’re going to lose,” as if what we’ve been seeing is actually a strange species of mainstream dem winning streak that we just fail to recognize

People keep using the "can't put a genie back in the bottle" metaphor for "AI", even though in the stories they always get back in and current "AI" is more of a "we're spending trillions of dollars and the energy output of a continent trying to keep this bastard out of the bottle" situation

One day I'm going to have to read books by liberal historians about how we all naively sleepwalked into fascism and they might even be written by the same people who spent a decade calling us melodramatic alarmists for saying it was coming.

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that refusing to name truth makes you stupid--literally degrades your intellect.

If you’re just figuring out now that yes, it really is fascism, that’s fantastic & I think you’re great & I’m glad we’re on the same side. I don’t need to scold you. My desire for “told-ya-so” is as useless as your denial was. Let’s move on together to the fight at hand, each as we feel called. 1/2

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.
