WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown/76385/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Barbara Brown Taylor</b></a></p><blockquote><i>Q: What would be some examples of what being fully human means to you?</i><br> <br>A: Day to day it means engaging, encountering all the different people who cross my path. To recognize another’s humanity is a huge part of finding my own. It means to stop censoring myself so that what comes out of my mouth are only pearls and jewels and perhaps to let some slobbery stuff come out as well. It means worrying less about being perfect, and being concerned more with being authentic or real with other people, maybe in hopes of evoking some of their own realness, because a lot of us are busy pretending to be someone instead of being someone.</blockquote><p><b>Barbara Brown Taylor</b> (b. 1951) American minister, academic, author<br>Interview (2006-06-08) by Bob Abernathy, PBS</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown/76385/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/taylor-barbara-brown…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=authenticity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authenticity</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=empathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>empathy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=engagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>engagement</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=honesty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>honesty</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humanity</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=pretense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pretense</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfcontrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfcontrol</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfcensorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfcensorship</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Federal workers are scared. They don’t know who to trust. As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have hacked away at federal agencies over the past few weeks, I’ve spoken with more than a dozen workers who have outlined how the administration is pushing a new ideology and stoking paranoia within the government’s remaining ranks. My sources work, or until recently worked, across six different agencies, including the State, Commerce, and Defense Departments and USAID; most requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak or they feared being targeted. “People are terrified,” one worker told me, “not for losing their jobs but for losing democracy.”</p><p>The workers described a fundamental transformation in the character of the government: Many workers say they live in a constant state of fear, unable to trust their colleagues, unable to speak freely, reflexively engaging in self-censorship even on matters they view as crucial to national security. One team that works on issues related to climate change has gone so far as to seal itself off in a completely technology-sanitized room for in-person meetings—no phones, watches, computers, or other connected devices. (Representatives for the Commerce and Defense Departments, USAID, DOGE, and the White House did not respond to my requests for comment.)</p><p>The widespread paralysis has been driven not just by the terminations and the crippling of entire agencies—which workers say has followed no apparent logic or process—but by executive orders and internal communications. Take the first diplomatic cable sent by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on January 21, the day after the inauguration. The message, which was sent to all members of the State Department, and which outlined various priorities, takes an “Orwellian” tone, as one State Department employee described it to me."</p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/02/trump-federal-workers-self-censorship/681781/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/technology/arc</span><span class="invisible">hive/2025/02/trump-federal-workers-self-censorship/681781/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WitchHunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WitchHunting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NeoMcCarthysm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NeoMcCarthysm</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SelfCensorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfCensorship</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a></p>
