people who are not complicit famously love saying “i am not complicit”. that’s how you can tell they are not complicit. because they tell you. they say “i am not complicit” and it proves they are not complicit.
Pop Base@popbase.tv · 3w agoEd Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”
whenever someone on here complains that an independent creator is charging for their content i’m like “oh there’s a republican who doesn’t know it yet”

Matthew J Kuiper@matthewjkuiper.bsky.social · 3mo agoOne of my jobs is to help students experience the thrill of discovery. It is truly thrilling to discover new/surprising/shocking things in the past, in ancient writings, etc. But with that, another of my jobs is to help them develop the humility of seeing that it’s usually merely *new to them*
