Never understood why powerful people think it’s such a magnanimous power play to tell an activist or a young person stuff like “if you ever had to manage real power like I do you’d understand that it’s never pleasant to find out how sausage is made”
As if we could have failed to recognize our own bone and gristle in the casings. As if anyone even asked for god-damned sausages in the first place.
We are aware how gross it is. This isn’t a revelation. That is why it must stop.

@futurebird My grandfather used to say "I forgot more than you'll ever know." I never liked it when he said that, because even at the age of 10, I knew it likely wasn't true, and it didn't feel respectful.
