If you started a group where women sometimes work out, are never really all that thrilled about it but whatever, and never complain about their thighs getting “muscular”? I would join it.
I don’t need a new personality by way of a cult but I also don’t need your white eugenicist body goals. It’s a sweet spot.
I just really don’t want to risk hearing a white woman whine about a thigh.
On the flip side, I also don’t want Black patriarchy hustle culture celebrating making you vomit because the trainer might get you chose

“Why thank you, I’m already tethered to a torture device designed to solve a problem that is 100% socially constructed to create a consumer market. I need not another!”

Wallen’s timing sucked. The world has been handed to him on a platter. Seventy-two hours ago he was poised to be a breakout pop country-to-rock star. This morning, @SIRIUSXM country-news channel framed their critical response as: “we hate to do it but we just broke up with MW.”
I’m not quick to judge pedagogy out of context. But there is only ever one context for the “imagine being a slave!” assignment, in all its many iterations. It is bad.
As someone who spent some time in a teacher training program once, the commitment to teaching this way runs the gamut from k-21. It’s a worldview & its adherents rarely care how dangerous it is because it makes THEM feel better.
I rant about this all the time but never on Twitter because I don’t need that on my permanent record. I fantasize about subjecting the CEO of every consumer goods company to open the packaging on their most popular items.
We have had some great planning and research discussions about the contours of precarity, entrepreneurial ideologies in a digital economy, as well as the historical sediments of that work (eg MLMs, piecemeal work, franchises).
Some things I’m reading around this topic, include:
