wat da fuq does being “woke” even mean?! 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net it is just the past of wake. Duh. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net now, in a more serious tone, it is a US slang for “aware of, and actively attentive to, important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”. I will use this opportunity to note: I am woke.

@bender@twtxt.net It is the new “politically correct”. Something that was used to describe acting in a more civilized way with one another. Turned into a scapegoat for the other side to label, demonize, and attack.
