R drinks a huge thermos of this herbal tea every day, so we get it in serious bulk and of course keep it in this old tea bin from a long-time new york tea shop ImageImageImageImage
in the shop, the same bin could be used for a variety of teas by rotating the label at the top ImageImageImageImage
here's what the shop looked like in the late 19th century, complete with my bin! ImageImage

I was born in the 70s and was a voracious reader as a kid, meaning that I internalized a huge amount of implicitly racist, sexist, homophobic, nationalist, and colonialist ideas even while being exposed to all the feel-good united-colors-of-benetton celebrations of diversity.
In the 80s, kids were still consuming tons of media that was decades old, which very often contained outdated ideas of what constituted full humanity. And a lot of 80s pop culture was really pretty awful on that front.

This media instilled implicit biases in my developing mind.
The dominant media environment that I grew up in was overwhelmingly *supportive* of someone like me--a straight white middle-class boy in America, so even though I knew, for example, that racism was *bad*, the books I read normalized a racist world.

That's tough to re-learn.

kids today are too young to remember when the world's largest blockbuster location covered several states in the western US. that seemed normal back then.
you could wander the shelves of VHS tapes for days
sometimes you'd come across a few acres of the new releases where they'd all been picked dry, just countless identical empty boxes with no rental tape hidden beneath them, and the knowledge that millions of people were at home watching Independence Day

Jacob Louis Richter, my great-great-great-great grandfather, 1803-1871
The wild thing is how much he looks like my father, even animated like this. I have to admit that the AI has done a pretty good job!

It's really something that the unified messaging from the right, including elected officials, Fox News folks, and the seditious mob, has simply become "Let us do what we want and no one gets hurt."
The right has fully embraced the reality of white nationalist violence and decided that it works for them. They saw a tool that was too good not to pass up--and after all, they know that if they simply relied on democracy, they'd lose their grip on power.
The right's language is that of abusers. They don't *want* to hurt you, but if you don't stay in line and let them have their fun, they won't be able to control themselves.

"That's not me," the Cruzes and Hawleys say as the mob attacks.

But they're all one gaslighting abuser.
