I’ve been looking for where she left this for days but didn’t know the ADHD wanted to play hide and seek. Of all the places🙄

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

I like the fact that the word 'icicle' is a blend of 'ice ickle', in which 'ickle' was the original word in Old English for.. an icicle. So the word 'icicle' really means 'icy icicle'.

Then again, a stalactite was once known as a 'watericle'.

@TSA my partner’s company booked her travel and used her full name, including middle name, for the ticket. Her KTN just uses her middle initial and her boarding pass doesn’t show precheck. Can you change it?

[Patagonia @patagonia]

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Becky Hammon’s coaching path once included the NBA.

But several NBA teams passed on her when they had head coach openings.

The WNBA's Las Vegas Aces didn’t and now Hammon has the Aces two wins away from the WNBA title, writes @nrarmour

Dismantling misconceptions of accents held by much of the public is not easy (trust me). Trevor Noah nailed it succinctly&accessibly.

If y'all's goal is REALLY for people to recognize&confront ling discrimination, instead of just discussing it amongst ourselves, then take notes:

Open letter from the Lionesses notes that 37% of English girls can't play soccer in school PE lessons. Wtf

[Becky Sauerbrunn @beckysauerbrunn]

.@bellageist’ thread has been on my mind. For a trade—that we often can’t control—to dictate what we can do with our bodies is terrifying, heartbreaking and enraging. More so when I think of all the athletes who don’t have the privileges I have. Sports is politics, like it or not

the devil works hard but the algorithm immediately targeting me with pride ads on june 1 works harder

I don't know that I've ever seen a more effective, emotional use of visual storytelling than watching agonizing minutes tick by in the Uvalde shooting

If you think you don't have an accent, that means you speak with a privileged accent

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Psychological studies on US volunteers show that people from privileged groups perceive equality-boosting policies as harmful to them, even if they would actually benefit. https://t.co/4UasbcvYzm

“We equate winning with being O.K., and failure with being not O.K.

The real truth is that I’m neither O.K. nor not O.K.”

if you work online all day, avoid eye strain with the 20-20-20 rule! after 20 minutes of work, look at something 20 feet away, then leave ithaca to fight in the trojan war and return 20 years later a broken man

It may very well have been my last Anthem for #PTFC given my choice to wear this shirt, but I’m proud of myself. As a DV & SA survivor I felt the need to use my voice in a different way today. #BelieveWomen Photo by @KP_KaylaMarie ❤️🤝💚 #YouKnew

There’s something special about making eye contact with a felllow public transit passenger because you both heard the crazy thing another passenger said

[National Geographic Society @InsideNatGeo]

Big news! 🦴 The fossil of a giant flying reptile known as a pterosaur was recently found on the Isle of Skye in Scotland during National Geographic Society-funded fieldwork.

This huge winged creature lived around 170 mil years ago and had an estimated wingspan of >2.5 meters.

New: Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Christen Press and other prominent USWNT players are accusing US Soccer of “willful inaction” in the face of abuse claims following our story about Rory Dames

"USSF failed to respond to protect these young players"

[Dave Sayers @DaveJSayers]

Never ask a linguist "Is that a word?" because you will always get the same response, "IT IS NOW!" 😃 delivered with some variation of jazz hands like you just won a very low stakes game show and I'm so sorry it's just part of the training it's not something we can control.
