oneself

“To have someone who can challenge you and go back and forth verbally and have it turn into something that’s not violent is a way of improving oneself.”

And historically, for Black people, that involves making oneself or one’s presence adjacent to whiteness.

With more than 70% of American adults affected by obesity or overweight — conditions that increase risk for heart attack, stroke and premature death — these findings suggested that injecting oneself with Ozempic, or any number of the other brands semaglutide are sold under, could offer significant long-term health benefits.

Others emphasized the allure of returning to nature and immersing oneself in a more “primitive way of being.”

All that is repellent in oneself and one’s tribe is projected onto a devalued other.
