"Not unlike ancient tragedy, [the blues] would have the people for whom it is composed and performed confront, acknowledge, and proceed in spite of, and even in terms of, the ugliness and meanness inherent in the human condition."

My name is Sasha White. I was blacklisted from an entire industry for opposing gender identity ideology. I abhor cancel mobs and people who can't take disagreement or questioning of their views. If you do this, I don't care who you are. I will not take kindly. Any questions?
Every member of the GC movement should read this and ask themselves whether they are acting like self-righteous zealots.

My most watched video to date. A conversation with the wonderful @artymortyarty, in which we discuss the costs and benefits to going against the crowd, and dive into the gender debate. I can't wait to get Arty back on the channel soon 🙂

In jazz, when a soloist "stretches out" they improvise long choruses of identity, meaning, and swing. I stretch out in this interview. https://twitter.com/hold_mydrink/status/1463846333824000002

“We are a Black-Jewish woman, a Chinese woman, and a Jewish man of Middle Eastern descent. One might think we would celebrate this identity exercise in the name of ‘diversity.’ But nothing could be further from the truth.” @DavidLBernstein @jilvorg
Stop dividing children by race. It's harmful and divisive | Opinion
Schools should not force children into a perverse racial classification system but allow them and their families to define their own identities.

"If employers are holding meetings to go over the rules of non-discrimination and the expectation of non-racist attitudes at work and requiring employees to commit to this, they really need to make these requirements inclusive of diverse viewpoints."
