      Thanks for this link. It’s good analysis. I found the tweet so viscerally offensive that I struggled to articulate the specifics of how it was so fucked, so I appreciate seeing someone break it down.

        @AnarchistArtificer
        I couldn’t quite put my finger on what felt so wrong about the tweet. Dr Patton clarifies things admirably.
