“Slow down” is such good advice. Applies to many human interactions.

Patrick Skinner (@SkinnerPm) Tweeted: In that way, it’s the same in writing as it is in real life. Ignore the obvious trolls. Slow down. Don’t be so sure. Never quickly assume bad intentions in uncertain situations. Don’t do that on the street as a cop & don’t do that writing about being a cop. And that’s it

Blind spots & comfort zones

Thread. We all have our blind spots/comfort zones, I guess.

Niao Collective (@NiaoCollective) Tweeted: It’s really odd seeing a self-professed “progressive” Chinese American who is pro-BLM and understand how white supremacy works at a systematic way totally not see how Han supremacy works in a similar way, and that, yes, we all bear some responsibility.

These look like good rules in general, actually. (Might be a little hard to remember, tbh, but I’ll try. Sometimes. Unless somebody on the internet says something rilly stupid.)

Beau of The Fifth Column (@BeauTFC) Tweeted: The “nobody cares about your feelings” crowd catching a lot of feelings over being presented with suggestions on how to show basic respect.

Darrell Owens (@IDoTheThinking) Tweeted: Ive been stabbed with a knife. Its not a joke and its not a movie. The first stab hurts. The second and third, you’re in such shock you dont even realize it. What she did was serious (and this cop wont be charged) but we lost a kid because you dont have fight defusing skills. https://twitter.com/IDoTheThinking/status/1384750682041847810?s=20
