A note on humanity.
This thing happened where I tweeted something out and realized later that it was accidentally word for word a tweet that had been shared by @newvangelicals so I reached out to apologize and he was so kind about it.

But while I was there I asked Tim a few questions about some assumptions I had about their account and what they're doing and it turned into scheduling a Zoom call this morning and we sat down to sort through. So often, even in the #deconstruction space, we categorize people. 2/
It's instinct, right? We see a tweet, a statement, a ::ahem:: name, and we make assumptions and choose our proximity based on those assumptions. We had great dialogue and I hope that all of us on Twitter collectively can do this more. Say the thing. Have the conversation. 3/
Assumptions are easy. Dialogue takes work. On social media when it's easy to block, mute, & unfollow (which are often HEALTHY boundaries), let's also remember humanity when we interact. Occasionally you'll see how refreshing it is to say the thing, and have the thing be heard. 💛
