So sad for the New Yorkers injured and killed in the building collapse. The FDNY is amazing, and Mamdani handled the press conference with the professionalism we should expect of all our representatives.
Someone put it pretty succinctly: they were scaring the hoes. But glad to see the shift all the same. We need a much more balanced worldview like this.
I have published my treatise on why young men returned to the Democratic Party en masse and it is this: After 10 years of Trump—and the administration’s constant appeals to garish Barstool-tinged masculinity—young men are tired of being talked to like they’re fucking idiots.
Her tweet is deeply funny: one, most HS libraries can’t have Maas on their shelves due to spice; two, she herself hasn’t read any MG/YA recently, but mentions reading a book about Jonestown—guess what’s another popular YA pick with my boys? A YA nonfic about Jim Jones 🫠
One of my my most successful recommendations to boys is a horror book with a female MC, a queer relationship, and killer clowns. The librarians know what we are doing, it’s just that we need to build reading culture back in as a whole!
Boys: We want books about adventures, quests, and survival!
Librarians: May I interest you in some romantasy? It’s enemies to lovers with fairies!
Boys: *plays video games instead*
A big issue is that our kids don’t know how to be bored. They always have their phones now, so downtime in classes where they may have written notes to friends, doodled, or read is replaced by scrolling (I literally had to explain this to a kid who lost their phone privileges).
One of my autistic students has gotten really into Macklemore lately which has led to him adopting “God damn that’s a cold-ass honky” as a verbal stim. It is unfortunately funny every single time

The UFO field is a strange place. It’s the only place I know where you have military intelligence assets with active clearances, openly interacting and engaging with public scientists, researchers, journalists, podcasters and civilians, to talk about alleged classified UFO information. Ask yourself what purpose do we really serve, and why hasn’t evidence been provided to verify these claims. This is the only field of study I can think of where the standards of evidence don’t exist, because we are expected to “trust” the MIC. For me that’s not good enough. If you are about transparency for the greater good, then you lead with your actions. The MIC have a long history of using this topic and field for alternative means. We would be naive to think anything has changed, until we see proof. UFOs are real. The phenomenon is real. But the games being played are too.
Shockingly, when you read more than one book a year, you have plenty of room in your reading list to enjoy both trashy romance novels AND quality pieces of literature. It’s called having range!

@adiraval Yeah, like even if I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt, and say they’re clearly studying our weapons to understand where we are technologically—it’s weird they won’t make direct contact.
@adiraval Stratton makes it sound relatively hopeful in his book, but there’s definitely a danger there—he talks about assigning moral intention to things we don’t know AND how a lot of these experiences come with extreme fear responses. Feel like it might be both good and bad lol.
@TheFoxMatriarch Oh also I blame you for putting Lu on my timelin, which then leads me down these trad wife rabbit holes, and making me more tolerant towards people I disagree with (I kid!) 😂♥️
@simkins_jd I have an insane (conspiracy) question, and don’t want to have it publicly linked to you as to not damage your credibility as a journalist. Are you okay with a DM?
