the more papers i write the more i realize the importance of the words we choose to say certain things and the impact each word holds.
ex. writing an op-ed on anti-CVE and making sure not to say "muslim te****ist" and rather "self-identifies as" or "claims to be"

2 - (continuing with this ex) by using the same terms that the same upholders of white-supremacy like media, govt, others use we are only adding to that same perpetuation of anti-Muslim sentiment bc their wording is intentional and repetition of words is what is remembered
3- "in cOnclUsiOn" being in a position to teach someone literally anything, is a blessing in itself and especially if it's about a topic that rlly hits home, why not be impactful, intentional, clear and inviting when doing so :)
adding this tweet by @Death2Amerikkka to this thread as another example of not using the same wordage https://twitter.com/Death2Amerikkka/status/1318688930649100289?s=20
