Dear White People,
— Absurdistwords (@absurdistwords) March 17, 2018
Racism is just fascism that hasn't caught up to you yet.
The same people who stormed the capitol are the same people who gleefully support police violence against Black and Brown people.
The same people who terrorize churches and synagogues.
The flags I saw at most often at the assault on the capitol?
Trump Flag
BlueLivesMatter Flag
Confederate Flag
This is not a coincidence.
This is literally how it works.
America's racism was leveraged to minimize and dismiss white violence.
The police stood shoulder to shoulder with this mob of violent supremacists up until the moment that they turned on them.
America made police into gods.
Those gods conferred their blessing onto white terrorism, not realizing that fascism is fickle.
White supremacists seduced America into defending their views, making space for them, shielding them from accountability and elevating them into positions of power.
Racism is how the Capitol got stormed.
Anti-Black hatred is the foundation upon which the attack was built.

Because this is totally the compassionate way to address someone contempalting suicide on Christmas.

ā¶ļøThis represents personal observations, interests, something that I personally came across and about which I consulted with some in order to clarify doubts, but also the information that I came across!š
ā¶ļøWhat I was looking for were earthquakes, and my attention was drawn to the first information about the earthquake in Croatia from March 2020, which I learned was artificially

ā¶ļøAlso as an artificially caused earthquake is the earthquake in Turkey and Greece on October 30, 2020.
At the very end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, Croatia was shaken by a new devastating earthquake, the towns of Petrinja and Sisak, which was felt in several countries!š
Here's my story ā¬ļø I worked in a preschool in šøšŖ, masks were a taboo that no one dared to talk about. When I quit & said I didn't wanna put my health at risk anymore w/o š· my boss said "I understand, if you're scared of diseases this is no place for
A teater came to the preschool today. Two ppl were there from 7 am-1 pm. Saw one coughing & blowing his nose several times. The teater was indoors w/ singing & loud laughing.

Today is the day I quit my job. I refuse to work any longer in a place where no one cares about my safety
(I'm resharing bc a few folks are suggesting Jeremy's CoC experience ā”ļø partially our fault for promoting diversity, we should change our values, etc. Nope!)

Math & CS have been my focus since high school/the late 90s, yet the sexism & toxicity of the tech industry drove me to quit. Iām not alone. 40% of women working in tech leave. (2015)

Superficial, showy efforts at diversity-washing are more harmful than doing nothing at all. Research studies confirm this (2015)
https://t.co/1t6T4LKqiA 3/
The primary reason women leave the tech industry is because they are treated unfairly, underpaid, less likely to be fast-tracked, and not given a fair chance to advance. (2016)

\U0001f92fRalph D. Winter has written the best short explanation of the 2020 polarization within Calvinist & conservative circles over CRT, race, Marxism, etc. If you want to know why many blacks who were involved in the TGC world in '05 no longer are, read this! https://t.co/PvrzxzLjUr

Oh well, you are supposed to recruit.ā Then they recruit more and more people, and set them also to recruiting still other people. Some day someone says, āArenāt we supposed to be fighting a war?ā āOh yeah, thereās a war.ā ... 2/
Church Mission-which is absolutely basic & absolutely valid-is to extend the faith & transform people into reliable people of integrity. Kingdom Mission is when the church stops thinking abt itself & its members & pursues Godās will in this world, not just pursues more members.3/
In his book Church Shift, Sunday Adelaja, the pastor of the largest church in Europe, says that when members do things like help in the nursery and direct traffic on Sunday, thatās not mission. Itās church housekeeping. š 4/
The church exists to extend the glory of God & His will in society whether or not it makes advances in church membership. Many are leaving the church today because what secular people are doing is more exciting, more relevant, concrete, & may seem to be more Biblically valid. 5/
