folks, my best friend, who's really more like family to me — who has truly, earnestly been family to me in every sense that's transcendent and eternal — is hospitalized with double pneumonia. please pray for him, or hope/wish/manifest, whatever you do, but something. — PolitiTweet.org

@NotAbouThatBase the funny thing being that seeing the mystery that's part of eros is actually the higher attainment, and believing there's no mystery whatsoever involved is a reduced understanding. that very reduced understanding is extremely widespread now — PolitiTweet.org

there's total ignorance, there's knowing just enough to be completely wrong about something, there's knowing enough to realize there's quite a bit more to learn and so you ought to proceed with caution, and way down the line, understanding. sex ed should move kids from 2 to 3 — PolitiTweet.org

even at the point that i was in jr high/high school, the whole thing seemed so absurd. all the mystification of sex itself seemed like going in the wrong direction. every kid had already seen hardcore porn, some of them quite a lot of it. cat was pretty outta the bag — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

in TX public schools aren't required to teach sex ed whatsoever and your parents can opt you out of any health/bio module on sex. they did bring in a program where a guy hoisted up a giant fancily wrapped gift and said: this is your virginity. a kid said "but i wanted a present!" — PolitiTweet.org

For me, the guiding value is love for the human person. When you weave together stories, you're weaving together the substance of human lives: Memory, dignity, experience, hope, effort. People put these things in our hands, so we should weave carefully with dire restraint. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

Of course, objective good is sometimes accomplished through the means of journalism, which is what we all hope for. But that means some other value, some final, end value, has to guide not just the ethical practice of journalism, but the vocation itself. It's a means, not an end. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

No, we are not doing an objectively good thing. Journalism practiced totally within the bounds of the profession's ethics can still be done in the wrong spirit, and can have terrible or unintended consequences. There's often collateral damage. People get hurt. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

The professional ethics attached to journalism aren't end values, they're ethical standards that prevent professional activity from violating overarching moral beliefs that encompass the entire society. I think the confusion itself, for some journalists, is perhaps the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

I think there's possibly a confusion here between moral values and ethics. The values listed here are professional ethics — how we do our work in a way that *comports with* values left unstated. https://t.co/Ls7yLDuYmM — PolitiTweet.org
