Mona is a legend. She spent her life protecting endangered sea turtles & their shoreline habitats. For years, she ran Orange House, a bed & breakfast that funded her turtle conservation project.
Israel knows who she is, where she is, & what she does. This bombing was a message.
Did Iran ever kidnap Lebanon’s Prime Minister and then beat him and humiliate him publicly?
No, but that’s what the Saudis did, with the full backing of the US and Israel.
zoos [and other animal-based entertainment] are the saddest places on earth, precisely because of the joy that such suffering provokes in children, who are taught not to see the captivity, isolation, depression, torture, and despair of sentient beings who cannot speak.
this is what a major Canadian newspaper chooses to publish on their front page on the five-year anniversary date of a Muslim family getting run over and killed by a white supremacist in London Ontario.
This hasn't happened for a quite a while. Fresh Snow falling on Mt. Seymour in Vancouver, BC in the month of June. Elevation of 1,200m... 🤨 #bcstorm#shareyourweather
I’m proud of my new piece in Marilyn Monroe, where I tried to convey the fullness of someone’s pain and genius without reducing her to either. This is the photo of her that I describe in the last paragraph.
Trying to remember that viral tweet from years ago—lodged in my brain like a dormant virus in my spinal chord—that was like “it is cultural appropriation for women to write about Marilyn Monroe if they’re not hot.”
I’m sorry but also the claim that American women are better off than they have ever been before is flatly untrue but many empirical measures. Women’s paid workforce participation peaked almost 20 years ago. They just overturned Roe in 2022.
Abusive men "drag women through costly, invasive, humiliating...legal ordeals in retaliation for coming forward – lawsuits that preserve a man’s contact w/ the woman he allegedly abused, preserve his power over her & drain her resources." @MoiraDonegan
