Deeply on brand for me to be so caught up in my feelings about the way people are treating me at the bars that I forgot about the story that came out today, that's about white women’s behaviors at the bars and the parties that I don't particularly care for.

as someone who is not a quaker but has spent time in their spaces, if i was sent that, or "We know there are a number of Friends such as yourself who are not in unity with our discernment." from a meeting i would shrivel up into a little ball, roll myself into a hole, and not come out for a decade.

this is lovely from the uk quakers. but also you may have to have spent time around quakers to appreciate how devastating lines like this are: "We regret that, sadly, unanimity is not possible on this issue and kinder ground eludes us."

it is extremely pernicious and is being used all over the place, really embedded in public consciousness. it was used in one very positive way (roper v simmons, ending the death penalty for juveniles) and i think that positive outcome blinded many people to all the ways it could be used to harm.
