Towers that suck carbon out of the atmosphere and turn it into diamonds exist

Why are we not making a hundred thousand of these

Let’s all wear diamonds on everything like drinking out of the skull of a defeated enemy

ideas.ted.com/this-tower-suc…
bonus: attack and dethrone DeBeers
Can they make them in colors?

Also in thin sheets? Diamond iPhone screen protectors?
I want the 20s to be sparkly dammit
Looking at you, Swarovski—I like your sparklies but they would be better if they were made out of smog-corpses

The other thing I think we all (and I mean *all*) need to reckon with, in the US, is that we can't just handwave things like Jan 6 away with "they don't represent Christianity any more than the Taliban represents Islam."

That's a comforting framework, sure.
But here's the thing.

The Taliban doesn't represent Islam. And it *especially* doesn't represent American Islam. It holds no political power here, and the over*whelming* majority of American Muslims are horrified by it.
Israeli setters don't represent Judaism, and they ESPECIALLY don't represent American Judaism. The *overwhelming* majority of American Jews vehemently oppose them.

Here’s how we KNOW that “progressive” Christians see Christian nationalist evangelicals as Christians, even while they insist to the rest of us that they’re not:

They don’t have any initiatives to proselytize to them.
Like, ok, a lot of more liberal denominations either don’t have missionaries anymore (which, don’t get me wrong, is a GOOD thing) or downplay them, but if y’all genuinely believe that Christian nationalists aren’t really Christian, AND that they’re giving you a bad name…
…it’s not as if you don’t have a bazillion historical models for how to sway non-Christians to your Christianity.

And I mean, none of us were even pretending to be you.

cool, maybe be more concerned w cleaning your house than protecting The Brand

bc y'all still *benefit* from Christian hegemony same as white people all benefit from whiteness whether we want to or not, and you can't dismantle it if your primary concern is protecting Xtian rep
Like, this was literally the 1st QT of the thread with all the Christianity in the Jan 6 failed coup

not "hey, fellow Christians, we have work to do"

not "hey, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and other non-Christians who might be terrified, I'm with you"

nope. just a #NotALLChristians
and I could pull out a dozen more examples without scrolling that much

Christians are way more concerned that we might not revere them as unquestioned avatars of good

than that *we have to be afraid that they might kill us*

Not only does it not exist in some pure, unchanged, and unchanging state, it NEVER existed in some sort of pure state.

There were multiple Christianities from moment one.

There were different philosophies among the apostles. There never was a single "original" Christianity.
Christians posit an original "pure" Christianity from which any problem in Christian communities represents a "fallen" state.

It's always already lost, but somehow obtainable if people just return to that original state of purity.

But that's never been how communities work.
Moreover, the idea that there was a prior "golden age" that the goal is to get back to generally leads bad places.

Humanity has made progress on a lot of fronts. Nothing needs to be Made Great Again.

We need to make greatness in new ways.

one of my least favorite Pretentious Creative things is the whole "peer into the mind of an artist!!!" thing

I don't believe that there is such a thing as a Way Artists Think
Like, look, I worked in a creative industry for years and the idea that there are "creatives" and people who aren't creatives in ANY sense other than what your day job is is complete bullshit
The people who had non-"creative" jobs weren't any less creative than those of us who had "creative" positions.

They didn't have fewer ideas, they didn't have less novel ideas.

What they had was a different role at that particular job.
