Imagine hating poverty so much that you make an enemy of wealth.
Poetics question: does the above sentence work better with or without the “that”?
Final:

Imagine hating poverty so much

you make an enemy out of wealth.

THE BOOK OF INTERSECTIONS

Or, The Bible According to Critical Theory

In the beginning, Everything was free to be Anything.

Then one thing wished to be greater than all else.

This thing spoke: “I am Ze, and I shall create Order.”

Once Ze spoke these words, everything around… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In the morning, they were both filled with shame, and so created a Theory to hide their Discourses from Ze.

Then they heard Ze’s voice: “What are you speaking of?”

The Subject answered: “Oh! We were discoursing about Discourse, and so came up with Theory.”

Ze asked: “And who… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“Black brother, you are the strongest and most enduring among us, and thus you shall push us further and lift us higher with your strength—And while you are beneath and behind us, you truly are above and in front, for all that we build shall be based upon you.

A mother and school counselor came to King Solomon, and the counselor said:

“King, this mother enrolled her child in my class, and the child wore a dress during free play, and I knew right away the child was trans. But this mother doesn’t believe me—because she is transphobic!”
“No!” the mother shouted. “My son is just artistic!”

“Artistic?!” yelled the counselor. “Do you want a dead boy or living daughter?!”

“An artistic boy!”

They argued in front of Solomon until he sighed:

“Both of you act like this child is yours… Someone, bring me a scalpel!”
A scalpel was brought, and Solomon said, “Carve out this child’s sex.”

“Don't carve up my son!” the mother screamed. “King, I love him so much, let him identify as trans—just don’t carve up his body.”

The counselor shouted: “Carve out his sex! Then only his gender will matter!”

The rumor mill keeps churning misrepresentations of me, so, for the record, this is what occurred between myself and Exulansic:
I interviewed her three times and had a blast. I found her funny and insightful. She found an interview I did w/ a woman who told me she had CAIS. Ex made an edited critique of that interview, causing the woman receive enough harassment that she requested I delete her interview
This had happened to me before, where another youtuber went hard after an AGP man, wound up her audience, which brigaded him until he, too, requested I delete his interview.

So once a year the @GeorgetownBLSA throws a hissy fit over something they find offensive and invariably write a list of “DEMANDS” calling for someone to be fired and a bunch of apologies be issued. Image
This kid says how “exhausted” he is from being involved in now three consecutive demand letters. I’ve a sense they’re expecting the entire campus to rise up against @IlyaShapiro for his bad tweets—in a show of force a la Evergreen—but maybe “allies” are tired of the BLSA’s antics
The outburst in 2020 over G.Floyd was fueled by youthful restlessness—they having been cooped up for months, then handed a conveniently righteous reason to go on a tear. But two years in to the pandemic, I’m not sure this Gen has much ire left for another round of social justice.
