@jengrif54321 @thomaslhorrocks That’s because it is not a scholarly article. It is a transcript of a message given by a scholar to a live audience. Speech patterns are different than written language.
@HistorySleuth @AntheaButler Because if a woman is not interested in you, she DOES NOT need an excuse. And if you come at her without consent, a stiff arm and a boundary is the least to be expected. #duh
@HistorySleuth @AntheaButler Seriously Twitter?! 10 hrs & no one’s challenged this? “a convenient excuse to stiff-arm guys they weren't interested in.” Can anyone tell us the issues with this statement? Anyone?
There have been airstrikes in 4 countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe within the last 48hrs. However, only the European airstrike got mainstream media coverage. #Somalia#Ukraine#Syria#Yemen
BREAKING: Fantastic news for voters and the health of our democracy -- the NC Supreme Court just struck down the legislative and congressional maps as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The maps violate a voter's fundamental right to vote.
“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance,” King wrote in 1967. “It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”
To grieve is to love. We cannot grieve the destruction or oppression of a person, people, or place without simultaneously growing in devotion to them.
American culture silences grief
because it’s too risky.
If we truly grieve, we will not be able to forsake loving one another.

This verdict upholds a sense of accountability, but not true justice.
True justice looks like a Black man not having to worry about being harmed—or killed—while on a jog, while sleeping in his bed, while living what should be a very long life.
Ahmaud should be with us today.
@AfeniMills You also, dear friend! Soak up every wonderful moment of having the original Fab Four back together. ❤️ (I hope Rabbit didn’t burst from excitement. )
It's always "inflation is up because fast-food workers got a 25-cent raise" and never:
*Stock buybacks and dividends doubled in the last decade to $1.5 trillion a year
*The Fed printed $3 trillion for companies last year
*Median CEO pay rose 1,322% in 40 years to $24.2 million
I can't begin to explain the embarrassment of consistently getting detention because I was a chronically ill, insomniac kiddo with a disabled parent. I was punished for things out of my control & that left a mark that resulted in things like anxiety & nightmares.
@robertjmonson I’m wondering if it felt scary to share that? It feels very brave to me. I’m very sorry you’re experiencing this. I’m grateful for you & now all of us know a specific way we can hold you in our hearts & prayers.
@LoriGottlieb1 I’m reading all the other comments… am I the only one who loves leftovers? We (2) always make more for dinner than we can eat. “Cook once; eat thrice” words to live by!
I see folks claim Psilocybin as the way they access the Divine. I wonder even if you’re an @exevangelical believing you are open, tolerant, have you traded one exclusive framework for another? Any framework that isn’t available to all is still hierarchy. God is accessible to all!
My husband & I laughed out loud when we read this. Oh ok. My neighbor who rakes leaves for cash might threaten your clients’ labradoodle? Feeling annoyed isn’t the same as experiencing danger, Karen. #middleclassfragility
