    When I perform a task that someone taught me, I nearly always subconsciously run the tape of their instructions while I’m doing it. Making a pour over coffee? Justin describe the optimal temp and procedures. Washing paint brushes? That’s My painting 101 professor.

    "If instead we reinforce a shallow dogma of racial essentialism by describing black and white people in generalizing ways, I fear we will mainly spread alienation that leads to insecurity, the stymieing of fellowship among peers of different races..."

    In my latest for the , I take Kendi to task for his short-sighted approach to antiracism. You can read it here.

    This is one of the most elegant things I've ever seen.

    The Cistercian monks invented a numbering system in the 13th century which meant that any number from 1 to 9999 could be written using a single symbol

    If someone shares worldview I don’t agree with, this is how I take them down 😡: 1. I don’t. 2. I feel 0 desire to ‘convert’ anyone. 3. Set up my *own* page where I discuss & share ideas I think are important. The end.

    Thinking about something, dreaming about something, and talking about something are not the same thing as doing it. Neither are obsessing over, worrying about, or constantly checking metrics. Only doing something is doing something.

    Engaging with someone’s ideas with the intent of wilfully misunderstanding so that you have a reason to be outraged- is engaging with the intent of dysregulating yourself so you feel justified in punishing them.

    The logic here seems to be: White supremacists oppose Antiracism™️ and John McWhorter also criticizes Antiracism™️, therefore McWhorter = a white supremacist. By attempting to own the term and meaning of “antiracism,” Kendi attempts to frame any disagreement as racist in itself.

    The White supremacists who attacked the Capitol on 1/6 claimed they were defending America from the coming destruction of an antiracist politics. This fearmongering piece argues antiracist demands at schools “would destroy the institutions themselves.” 1/9

    Mood FOLLOWS action. You don't need to feel good to get going. You need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good. Intrusive thoughts and feelings are stubborn. This is why "think positive" usually fails. So much of this is about breaking inertia. Movement helps.

    Children need to feel safe, valued, respected AND be allowed to rough play, problem solve, have boundaries, take on appropriate responsibility, and individuate. Not coddling doesn’t mean draconian parenting, it means balanced parenting.
