New twist on getting carded in boy mode at the liquor store!

She takes my ID, glances at the birth date and says, “Holy shit sorry. It’s so hard to tell with some people.” (Pauses.) “Girls are the worst. With some girls, you can just never tell.”

True, true.

Yo, if you come at me rude and with hostility and I clap back, you are not being 'attacked'. That is me responding to you in the context you've set.

I do not owe anyone my civility or patience. If you want a reasonable exchange, act like a reasonable person.

If you can't take a punch to the face, don't come in swinging. Easy.

So I was thinking about deleting this comment b/c a lot of folks don't like, but I decided against it because I think it will help folks learn.

I didn't realize that it was a trigger for a lot of folks, so that's on me. It was not my intent to contribute to or normalize a toxic culture.

Fortunately, I have am followed by some cool people who've taken the time to show me the error without being insufferable pricks about it. Thanks for that.

My bad, y'all. I meant no harm.

I've tried dozens of IDE's over the past few months, but I think I'm going to settle on Coda 2 and Vim as my second.

Coda 2 is old as hell, but it's integrated FTP and terminal still make it very comfortable to work in. And I'm finding I don't want to spend so much time setting up editors and learning features I'm probably not going to use.

And I've gained a real appreciation for Vim. It doesn't get a lot of headlines, but it really is one of the best editor available. It's just weird at first

Today is the Families Belong Together march across the nation and the world in protest against the Trump Misadministration's harsh family separation/detention policies.

We are already enough. More than. We don't need some great unknown secret to make the world a better place. We don't need more money or stuff or whatever external shit we can think of.

All we need is each other. All we need is to commit to working together and ensuring the people around us are ok.

The ideology of whiteness is a culture that takes us away from our most powerful and sustainable selves.

We can make a different decision. We can choose to not be that.

The single greatest thing you can do to thwart bigotry is create a positive environment around you. Do the work to find your own happiness and then share every bit of knowledge you get in that journey w/ everyone around you.

The greatest threat to bigotry and hate is an active and healthy community. There is nothing more powerful than us helping each other.

Bigots want us to be as miserable, insecure and hateful as they are.

But we're not them. Our lives aren't defined by hate

As people trying to do some good in the world, we are constantly bombarded by the incessant struggle of the hateful trying to keep the idea of whiteness alive, despite it being proven to be a toxic stain upon humanity.

As people trying to do some good, we get so wrapped up in trying to thwart bigots, that we begin to define ourselves in contrast to them and forget what really matters.

And that is doing good. Everyday. Big and small. Whenever and wherever.

It is not our responsibility to save white people from themselves. Our existence is not defined by their inability to de-couple themselves from a culture that results in nothing but death.

If they want to retain an ideology that further distances them from humanity itself, let them. Let them run off a cliff.

We will go on. It will be a straight up fight sometimes, but progress is inevitable.

Some will choose to move forward and some won't. Let the ones that refuse to, go.

This is the sort of artistic writing I've been waiting for after the Apeshit video came out, instead of semi viral Birdland threads from ppl who took one art history class
