Might be useful to be able to track the hit-and-run personality types on here.

Was having a chat with JoBlakely@mastodon.social who apparently got hot-headed, posted that Alice Walker’s #greatQuote somehow reflects a love of money.. wtf. What twisted take. This is the quote:

“activism to pay rent for living on this planet”

Then “jo jitsu” hit the block button as I was writing a reply to explain that her quote is not literally about money.

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Rob Siltanen
