hey Jonathan remember when you offered an "Appropriation Prize" to fête successfully racist white people
I'm convinced reason Canada is not in the grips of fascism is not bc it has a lack of racists, but bc it has a lack of sufficient charisma.
Canada has racists, but theyre all milquetoast dweebs like @jonkay or charmless malfunctioning robots like @KellieLeitch

where's the PIZZAZ
i guess he forgot.

i am learning so much.
If this thread has made you interested in Jon Kay's widely published career of racist views, here's a tidy precis: rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers…
Kay is also a historical concernedchristians.ca/christian-post… and vociferous nationalpost.com/news/jonathan-… campaigner against the LGBT community and #PrideTO
weird why hasn't @nationalpost digitized this groundbreaking 2001 article about Canada's First Nations people. Is it bc it is.......racist
(that sentence, in addition to being racist, contains a semi-colon where no semi-colon should be. why is this man an editor?)
this gets more and more amazing.
weird that he would delete it. When it is evidence. For our trial. Anyway in the interest of acting in good faith BEFORE THE COURT:

does anyone want an essay about Paddington that is 18 months overdue from any kind of relevance
the pleasure of PADDINGTON films is its formal delight: its micro scenes of broad slapstick & fussy, detailed Rube Goldberg machines and pop-up books enact its macro message: that the world’s chaos and cruelties are governed by an engine chugging towards unseen kindness and grace
a bear falling thru space will be met with all sort of felicities and miracles bc the world only needs us to trust it is miraculous

While we're sharing art, in 1620 Artemesia Gentileschi painted herself as the biblical Judith beheading Holofernes, except Gentileschi in her work is decapitating her own real-life rapist, Agostini Tassi.
Gentileschi also painted two other versions of the scene, in which the two women move to dispose of her assaulter's decapitated head.
Gentileschi's father, Orazio, also painted one.

I guess I'll just point out puppets (in entertainment, in therapy, etc) are bits of felt onto which we project human qualities and characteristics and that it is v interesting to me which human qualities and characteristics ppl decide are allowable ones.
I also think re: Bert/Ernie, "Puppets don't have an orientation" is an EXTREMELY HILARIOUS way to describe puppets when you consider their function for most of western theatrical history has been to be extremely horny.

Also you will then have to explain Miss Piggy.
Like, what this discussion actually is about, when you push past its grasping and pointless claims upon canonicity, is whether queer people are allowed to see themselves in art - and, in this case, in art made and shaped in large part by queer creators.

#AndrewSullivan has been a contrarian conservative transplant for decades now.
Pro-Bush, pro-Bell Curve, #misogynist to the core.
His latest screed is an embarrassment to @NYMag, which reps some stellar writers. There's so much awful to excerpt here.
1/
 nymag.com/daily/intellig…
We're at a racial crossroads in America right now. Some of us white people have tried to write about it with passion and humility. Not #AndrewSullivan, who refers back to the atavism of 1920s xenophobia and racism with an appallingly anti-intellectual lack of self-awareness.
2/
This latest screed is a paean to white male fragility. The bluster and outrage #AndrewSullivan reserves for #SarahJeong is typical of his sneering, superior form of racist baiting with a hefty dollop of misogyny folded in.

It's essential to decry such writing when we see it.

Looonng thread! AND:
This is a dangerous post.

Read it at your own mind's risk

It's dramatic and crazy, the stuff of Hollywood

You'll say it can't possibly happen here... not IN AMERICA!

Or can it?
In 2016, Donald Trump is elected President. Almost immediately, certain people begin to question how it happened and start collecting information on the FACT that RUSSIA, OUR ENEMY, has assisted Trump in his efforts

In the meantime, Trump begins to dismantle Democracy.
Trump builds a administration and Congress fiercely loyal to him, but does not fill vital posts in government. The end result is a Regime which is small but very loyal to Trump.

.Every day in twitterverse I watch straight young white people who identify as "progressive" demean and diminish the lives of the marginalized & insist that WE need to recognize that "economic security" is the #1 issue all liberals need to focus on which will then solve all. (1)
.I watch them speak from their lofty privilege not realizing that they are standing on a platform built by the very people they demean. Their lack of gratitude for the work of these before them blows my mind. Their robotic devotion to an establishment man with minimal (2)
.accomplishments in his career is staggering. What saves me from despair is the ongoing work of POC and LGBTQ activists and allies who continue to engage the #racist & #homophobic #misogynist #transphobic "sleeping" people. Huge credit to all of you doing this work (3)

1.)

Eric, I'm going to be straight with you. You are not known as the smart Trump, so I am going to have to do multiple Tweets (a thread) to TRY to educate you. It turned out to be 15 tweets.

Yes, we know that all he cares about is "green".
2.)

He proved that with the #TaxScamBill. Got a lot for you guys with that one. #InheritanceTax

You got the "Green Thing" right, so let us talk about the #Racist thing. I know you believe what you say, but your problem is you do not know what #Racism or #Racist means.
3.)

Tell me what you think after you learn what it means, ok.

rac·ist

ˈrāsəst/

noun

a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

This narrative about Black voters "saving" Alabama would imply that majority of white voters--the majority of people in the state--wanted to be "saved" from Moore. They didn't. Black voters protected themselves
It's a bit problematic to frame AL election results as Black people "saving AL" when they were actually protecting themselves by pushing back against systemic racism within their state
"Black people saved Alabama!"

Who did they save Alabama from? Who was putting AL in harm's way that it needed to be saved & why?
