@szescstopni @Ruth_Mottram @Ethan_Landes tree vs plant is a can of worms
@ItzyG thanks! I’m definitely intrigued!
@ItzyG Love N.K. Jemisin, would love a Rec from one of your other faves that has a great world building.

But here we are, Muskyman has created a situation of urgency, and this has to be dealt with. So...

1) If you are white, please shut up when #BIPOC folks talk about their experiences. Just fucking listen. Don't explain, or minimize, or ask for proof or examples. We are the ones who are targeted.

2) There definitely isn't a #BIPOC consensus about the use of CWs for #racism. If you are white, and don't want to see racism, do some self-examination. You are not the target.

@War_Kittens how did you do it!
@keithjones yeah I tend to semi-obscure my identity on social media, but hi!
I miss SBG, I did I’d for 2 semesters, and the classes I have this semester are harder to do that with for institution reasons and it makes me sad.

@keithjones thanks Keith. (Btw, I’m guessing you can see past my anonymous internet persona to the fact that we know eachother IRL).

With so much optimism about the youth in the election, the CW felt right for today certainly.

This was a ‘4th hour’ class, so it’s different then when I do SBG stuff and don’t have this same frustration.

It’s really hard to see students get question wrong on the open note, open tutoring center, open office hours, you have 1.5 weeks exam correction assignment.
I had such fun ‘pumpkins in costume’ stickers for grading exams in October. Grading todays exam is a letdown.
