While Tim Walz was accepting the VP nomination, Andrew Tate was again arrested in an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. Pondering two very different approaches to masculinity, my latest for @SpliceToday2022

There is no shoe I miss more than the 1991 Nike Air Pegasus, my freshman year cross country shoe

When you find a pair of running shoes that are super comfortable and also fit your style perfectly, order ten pair immediately and stick the extras in a closet because they absolutely will be discontinued soon.

Me in downtown Seattle for the first time: “Why are all the buildings so short?”

"Cringe" is a myth created by Big Normal to stop you from having fun.

Proud to be an insubordinate feminist woman

[Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch]

Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge instructs the women of his congregation to model "joyful submission" to their husbands as an example to the "insubordinate feminist women" of the world: "Our duty as the church is to tell the world what is normal."

@metro_failsLA @gravyglove @SomeZeeShit__ Boo. LA is never ending sprawl, and so unwalkable that there’s a song about it. 🎶Only a nobody walks in LA🎶

@SnowyPtarmigan @KFILE My guess: Botox, blepharoplasty, eyebrow lift, and learning to do makeup for TV

Reminder:
Epstein was convicted in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution.
He was a registered Level 3 sex offender, the highest risk, by 2010.
Anyone emailing him, partying with him, flying with him after that knew exactly who he was.
That’s not ignorance.
That’s complicity.

[Tracy Q. Loxley @TracyQLoxley]

Yes.

@HelenRumbelow I can’t put my finger on it just yet, but I find this photo of Bannon and Chomsky particularly unnerving

Yes, the real problem is that women reporters don’t smile enough while asking tough questions to powerful blowhards about rape victims.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Trump to CNN's Kaitlan Collins: “I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for ten years. You know why you're not smiling? It's because you know you're not telling the truth.”🤣

You really cannot study the history of American music without studying Black history. As an amateur music historian, I’m astounded at how often I have to explain to this white people.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

What's some black history not enough people know about?

[Chicago History ™️ @Chicago_History]

The first name every Chicagoan should know: Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, the “Father of Chicago."

A man of African descent, he became the first known settler in the area that became the city of Chicago. He married a Potawatomi woman, Kitiwaha (Catherine), and they had two children.

According to records, the property included a log cabin with two barns, a horse-drawn mill, a bakehouse, a poultry house, a dairy, a smokehouse, a fenced garden and an orchard. At his trading post, DuSable served Native Americans, British and French explorers and spoke a number of languages.

“He was actually arrested by the British for being thought of as an American Patriot sympathizer,” Julius Jones, curator at the Chicago History Museum told WLS, but Du Sable beat those charges.

In Chicago today, a school, street, museum, harbor, park and bridge bear his name. The place where he settled near the mouth of the Chicago River is now a National Historic Landmark, part of the city’s Pioneer Court.

#MeToo is also a labor movement, but that aspect seems to be persistently overlooked. But every time someone responds to allegations with, “So she didn’t report it to keep her job?!?!” its’s a reminder that women’s professional work is still regarded as something of a frivolity.

[Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter]

In retrospect, given that MeToo was ultimately a movement about creating social and professional consequences for sexual abuse, no wonder all these guys went ballistic about it
