A canvasser for a Democrat running for Congress came by. They asked where I was leaning and I said “leftist.” They responded “ooh boy” and paused. I laughed a bit and asked if that was a good or bad reaction. They said “well, change is hard.” They didn't sound judgmental, but I’m not sure what this means about the candidate or my answer.

Had fun exploring @bookpeople after the workshop today. Book stores are my favorite things and I miss @powellsbooks so much since leaving Portland. ift.tt/2ThTyap
The latest in #exvangelical adventures: * An evangelical expresses dismay that many exvangelicals see the OT God as angry/vindictive. * I wade in to say that from story to story, God can appear loving or cruel. It varies. * I'm told I can't judge God by "human standards". 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was watching the beginning of Bang Bang Con (!!Con) and they talked about their code of conduct. I liked these three tips they gave to stay in line with their values:

  • “Avoid feigning surprise.” When someone says something like “I’ve never heard that you can do x,” instead of replying “You’ve never heard that?!” take a moment to revel in the fact the person is about to learn something new and cool. Let that frame your response.
  • Avoid “well, actually...” if someone says something not quite correct.
  • Avoid subtle -isms like “so easy my grandmother could do it.” That’s a subtle exclusion of women and older people.

Edit: these are based on the Recurse Center’s social rules.
