Acknowledging that “critical thinking” means “thinking about things in a thorough way from different perspectives” and not “finding every flaw in a thing and fixating on it until all the joy is gone” is so liberating.
It’s supposed to be about intellectual curiosity, not about finding ways to devalue things that aren’t perfect or that we personally dislike.

Dehumanizing bigots is bad, not because I want to be nice to them, but because they are human beings and they serve as a reminder that anyone is capable of evil ideation and action. Violent bigots are not fundamentally different beings from you. They are human beings, who have developed a reactionary and destructive belief system due to their circumstances combined with their biases. In a different timeline, that could've been you. Anyone can be radicalized. Nobody is immune to propaganda, not even the person reading this.

top five tricks for avoiding having to write dialogue:
make it have no dialogue. call it stylistic
have it and blame the awkwardness on the characters. say it's just how they talk.
songfics. a great way to avoid writing dialogue. the lyrics express how they feel so you don't have to write their words yourself.
kill the characters. fucking kill them. who's gonna talk if they're all dead?
don't write. stare at your empty word doc and cry because your life has lost all meaning.
