Today Mazie Hirono said the term "sexual preference" is offensive. @SteveKrak showed as of September 28 Merriam-Webster didn't say it was offensive, but today it does say that.
So I checked when the entry was last changed according to merriam webster and *THEY CHANGED IT TODAY* ImageImageImageImage
@thorsvensonn found the original change:
@SteveKrak with the signal boost:

Let's give credit ppl!

Hat tips and follows where they are due!
Also @Voice0fReazon had a hand in the find as well!

And, to make sure this is clear, merriam webster says they last updated the entry for preference october 13. I only had room for four screenshots in my tweet Image
I only had room for 4 screen shots, but just so it is clear, merriam-webster says they updated the entry for preference on October 13. My tweet is correct. Image
And, just so it's clear, it still says that the entry was last updated October 13. My tweet is correct.
I only had room for 4 screenshots so I left this one out, but I am including it here as further proof that my tweet is correct.

👍👍👍 Image

 Woke isn't dead. Not even close.

The incubator of woke theories was Universities, but the incubator of the cultural expression of woke ideas was *TUMBLR*

Bluesky has the same energy, and the same mixture of academics, cultural creatives, and journalists Tumblr had in 2024...
2/
 You can mock Bluesky all you want, but it has a VERY potent mixture of:

-Academics to create new woke theories
-activists to organize and develop new tactics
-bureaucrats to make institutions
-Artists to make/spread woke cultural products
-journalists to drive woke narratives
3/
 Bluesky is a cultural ecosystem for creative class woke professionals, and it will facilitate the creation of new woke ideas, culture, tactics, and messaging.

If woke is a mind virus, Bluesky is the laboratory where it will undergo it's next round of gain-of-funtion research

 This teacher says he uses Critical Race Theory in the classroom, and anyone who doesn't want CRT in schools is racist.

So.... Let's talk about how the Department of Education spent millions of dollars putting Critical Race Theory in k-12 schools.

A Thread🧵
2/
 Many on the left claim there is no CRT in education, but that isn't true.

Two of the founders of CRT (Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic) explain that while CRT started in law, it quickly moved into education. They even say CRT is more lively in education than it is in Law! Image
Image
3/
 Now, the person who is most responsible for moving CRT from law into education is probably Gloria Ladsen Billings.

LAdsen Billings wrote a book called "Critical Race Theory in Education" which explains the history of CRT in education and her role in making that happen. Image

 This teacher admits she doesn't know when America was founded. She also says she doesn't teach her students the curriculum, but instead teaches about protesting anti-racism, activism, and Black Lives Matter.

So....Let's talk about the Department of Education.

A Thread🧵
2/
 The entire education system, including the Department of Education, is full of activists, professors, teachers, and other people who thing teaching is a political act, and that Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.

 In his book "The Critical Turn in Education" Isaac gottesman, explains how leftist brought marxism, feminism, and Critical Race Theory into universities and used them to radicalize the field of education in the 70's and 80's Image

There's a story behind the squirrel story everyone's missing.

A man had his home searched for 5 hours until officials found his pet squirrel, which they took and then killed.

The problem isn't that government broke the law, the problem is that it *didn't* break the law

/🧵
2/
 People analyze this story as an abuse of power or as government over-reach, but that's not the problem.

The problem is that everything the government did, including killing the mans pet, was LEGAL.

And that's what people find scary: the government is allowed to act that way
3/
 The problem is not that the government broke the law, the problem is that the government terrorized a man and his family, disrupted his life, destroyed a source of his income, killed his pet, and left him heartbroken...and doing this was totally legal.

 When lgbtq+ activists talk about 'queer' they don't mean "being different."

The lgbtq+ activists definition of "Queer" is about opposing and abolishing *ALL* social norms, and abolishing the idea that anything should ever be declared to be "normal"

Queer Theory,

A Thread🧵
2/
 "Queer Theory" is an academic discipline which claims to study human sexuality, except that it does not use *science* to study secuality.

Queer Theory analyzes sex, gender, and human sexuality using a method of engagement created by neo-marxists called "Critical Theory."
3/
 In 1937 Max Horkheimer wrote an essay called “Traditional and Critical Theory” which explains the difference between "traditional theory" and "Critical Theory."

According to Horkheimer, traditional theory is purely descriptive; its only goal is describe the world as it is...
