THREAD. This weekend, the New York Times published misinformation it knew to be false. Because the stakes are so high, I try my best to explain what the paper did why it is so dangerous.

Last year, I started investigating a 1997 murder for a class. Most people who knew about this case were too scared to speak to me.

I couldn’t fathom why.

But as I peeled back the layers, I started discovering things I wasn’t meant to know. 1/

tw: murder, rape, suicide

An environmental and colonial disaster is unfolding in a U.S. colony in the Pacific. Right now, on Guam, hundreds of acres of forest are being destroyed by the U.S. military for a massive live-fire training complex. 🧵

Extremely disappointed in @nyugrossman this week after not only considering hiring someone accused of sexual misconduct, but then hosting a 90 minute “listening session” in which they further dug themselves into a hole defending him and discrediting anyone who stood up…

take it from a person who is currently pregnant and very excited for the impending baby: nobody should have to go through this if they don’t want to. absolutely nobody. this is not a reasonable thing to impose on anyone.

A lot of grad school and job applications are due today. A little known fact that might help calm your nerves a little: advisors and search committees rarely read the reference letters on the day they're due, and your application won't be rejected if a letter is late.

I’m thinking leg two of the #1619Project needs to be the “banned book” tour, where I go to all the states that have banned the teaching of this work! What do y’all think?

I’m once again reading articles in preparation of starting a phd program and I love learning so much and forgot the sadness at the impossibility of learning everything and that there’s always more stuff to learn.
