I was on my way to work mid-morning. I take the train from Brooklyn to the Bronx, so it’s a nice long ride. I like to settle in, I bring something to occupy the time. This time I just brought a notebook. I’m obsessed with making lists — to-do lists, timelines, any way of organizing words in a vertical pattern down the page, with bullets, boxes, stars. i was excited about this… a whole...

Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

for instance, when i was little my teacher did something like this and i was real stoked to bring the bear home with me and my mom and i...

If you have a degree in computer science, I’m not really gonna try to argue with you when it comes to computers and the science behind them. I’ve never formally studied computer science. So I’m going to just go ahead and respect scholarly opinion as fact when it comes to most things computer science related.
So how come when it comes to the study of race and racism, instead of...

death
will make you hate
everything about life
the bend and give of it
the morning and spring of it
it’s persistance
it’s resilience
it’s pointless effort
it’s lack of algorithm
it’s directionless blow
it’s sick punishment
the fairytale we tell ourselves
the nightmare we learn to live with
