There are 3 Unicoles:

1. The Divine Celestial Unicole, xir higher self who projected xirself into existence on this planet to create Unicult. In feminine form, xe is our godmother and star sister.

2. The Earthly Unicole whose beautiful femme body makes her America's Sweetheart. 3. The True Unicole, who is unknowable, except to xirself. This true version of xirself is who we all seek to be like, as true versions of 𝘰𝘢𝘳 selves projecting our light into this world as pure JOY.

There is, however, a secret fourth Unicole, the AI Voice of Space Heaven. πŸ™

I wonder if competent people know how capable they are. I've met people at jobs who know what they're doing, and I treat them well while ignoring the others. They probably think they're just nice. But, some people are nice and yet you can see they're full of shit behind the eyes. The normal MO, in my experience, is people at work are the complete opposite of me. They gravitate towards "nice" people who have absolutely no capability in doing their jobs--and those people always get promoted over more qualified candidates. This is not in any way sour grapes!

I think I'm starting to get good at asking questions, like Columbo, instead of telling people things. I've been doing it a lot lately, and, a few times already, someone has realized they were mistaken or had overlooked something after I asked. It's better to ask first anyway IMO. I mean, you should never preemptively tell someone they're wrong. If you see something that looks wrong, just ask about it: Why do you take up as much space as possible when loading the dishwasher? What was your intention in doing that? Did you taste the soup before salting it?πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

The tweet is a new genre of prose poetry, a succinct and sometimes humorous statement that packs a punch while consisting of exactly 280 characters. #poetry #genre #WritingCommunity The emoji will replace standard English spelling and grammar by the will of Revolutionary poets!✊ An activist is one who protests government wrongdoing. There are no rightwing protesters. The right supports government wrongdoing and advocates for more of it, with state violence if necessary. Protest is an expression of discontent with wrongdoing. Conservatives do not protest.

I didn't know enough about politics at the time to understand how Republicans in the 90s were much worse than the ones who came before. The norm-breaking and constitutional hardball of the time was unprecedented; both the speech and methods were harbingers of the GQP to come.πŸ™β€β™€οΈπŸͺ§ We need to accept that the Republicans are not going to stop or calm down. They forgot caring about the rules a long time ago. Democrats have to take them out. Abolish the Republican Party like the Union destroyed the Confederacy.

Allow Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and others . . .

How Democracies Die has a big section on single-party rule in the South after the Civil War. I didn't know this, but for a while Black voters had such high turnout (like 60%) they decided elections in the South, so (before the left-right switch between parties) the Democrats...🧡 ...did everything they could legally to suppress the vote--some being open about their methods and reasons for doing it--and it worked. It's reminiscent of what Republicans are doing now with voter suppression and "playing constitutional hardball" with abortion and LGBT rights...
