The devil is in the details. It's in the little, minute pops of color in your clothing. It's in that flick of your eyeliner wing. It's also in the words you say and your actions, big and small. Yes, I'm talking about Charlottesville. When you post on social media, "Love Conquers All," realize that the little details we can ascertain from you are: 1) You're deflecting. You might as well say that you're colorblind. 2) You are trying to absolve yourself by distancing yourself from White Nationalists. Try again. Try harder because whatever you've been doing over the course of um, humankind, isn't working. Yes, I'm talking to you, white people. Since I've decided one post isn't enough to address this issue, I'm going to talk about it again in a later post.
In the meantime, educate yourself by watching this documentary.
I usually do a write up of the events I’ve organized or hosted and my most-read articles at the end of the year. This was an unusual year (obviously, there is no need to go into it here) so I didn’t bother. Instead I want to highlight a project of mine that I am particularly proud of — it’s my new podcast show, Unverified Accounts, that I cohost with my frequent collaborators, Chris Jesu Lee and Filip Guo. If you're a big movie/TV/book buff, have leftist sympathies, but can't stand 'wokeness' dumbing down our culture, then we're the podcast for you. So far in our 25 episodes, we’ve covered a range of contentious topics.
