Calling It Out

I was reading a book...

I shared this tweet...

Someone else (whom I usually admire) retweeted it with this comment...

He "required" of another, a judgement of the contraction "to've."

I called him out for it - without bringing up that he's a white man asking judgement from another white man on a black woman's writing.

After this tweet, the man being asked never responded, and the man asking "liked" the tweet, even if he didn't apologize. He saw it. He may have reflected. It was a small moment that felt like a win to me.
