Another great cartoon from Jen Sorensen (in case you've forgotten about her, here's an earlier one):
Maybe you're lucky enough to not have read all the agita about so-called cancel culture... I've found it hard to avoid.
I tend to agree with this thought from essayist and poet Isabel Rae MacKenzie:
after my recent experience with nazis/the alt right online, i’m even more wary of any/all arguments being made about how free speech is under attack, etc.Should we all have free speech? Sure, and other people get to say what they think of it, too. And if our free speech includes calling police to fake being hysterically afraid of a Black man who's birdwatching in Central Park, and as a result we lose our job over that... I am not sad.
free speech ideals are weaponized as a MAJOR coded alt right platform point and many do not realize this still.
