If you consider yourself a ‘visionary’ and your vision doesn’t include the well-being of every single person you affect, you’re not a visionary, you’re a colonizer.

Unpopular opinion: We’re headed for a future where we’ll see marriage and long-term relationships as only being suitable for those who are actually good at being in relationships. The rest of us will develop a single-adulthood normality.

I don’t think folks out there understand what a difference it makes seeing people try to pronounce Korean names that include syllables like 동(‘Dong’) without them laughing or making a joke about it. It was truly dehumanizing and so hurtful when they did, and it was ALL the time.

Despite what a lot of folks seem to think, anti-racism is not about kindness and it's not about embracing all races. Anti-racism is about repair, restoration, and sacrifice where it's necessary. It's about meaningful action, not about feelings and words.

Some might call this “soft parenting,” but if you watch this video there’s something else that’s happening that’s important: Her goal is long-term behavior change, not a successful correction in that moment. I think that’s where so many parents fail in their “discipline.”

When you’re observing choices being made in the world, whether it’s yours or of others, we tend to focus on the value to those who benefit. Train yourself to also consider the costs involved, who bears those costs, compare the value and costs, & also who is & isn’t benefitting.
