Critical reminder. Do not cede power too readily. Do not obey.

If God didn't want me to use the em dash, why did he enshrine it in nature? In the horizon line—the lightning-harrowed bough—the canyon's pink striation—the pupil of the goat

BREAKING NEWS: Huge pro-Palestine protest in central Paris right now for a second day in a row.

I do think a generally underrated political dynamic is older liberals teaching their children principles they do not in fact believe, and being shocked and appalled when the kids take them sincerely.

Disney cast members bring the magic of the parks to life, making lasting memories for families - so I'm thrilled to see that an overwhelming majority of the Disneyland Resort cast members created a union family of their own by voting to join @ActorsEquity!

this thread about the met gala has been piling up in my chest since the night of. I'm SO tired of seeing the genuinely worthy cause of historical fashion conservation be denigrated as some kind of hunger games capitol party.

Cass has released a "FAQ/Clarification" today for the Cass Review where she gets some major things wrong. Chief among them is the idea that "most children will desist," which has been so thoroughly debunked that it should be discrediting.

Really important to remember as well, though, that some campuses are just letting their encampments continue without interference, and that at those campuses everything generally seems to be entirely fine.

Emory University Economics professor Caroline Fohlin's arrest video was bad in a vacuum but seeing what precedes it makes it even worse.

Dark times.

I’ve been fighting for LGBTQ+ equality since I was in my teens. I’ve campaigned against millionaires & media moguls, homophobic politicians to ignorant boxers. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more hateful group than some of the anti-trans mob. I’ve never known such hatred.

‘The memo also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases”’—This NYT memo was issued in November and has been regularly updated since. It shows that despite all the criticism, they are resolutely anti-Palestinian and committed to this genocide.

This isn't just "biased" it's racist. The test in question required that Black patients have WORSE kidney function that white patients to qualify for a transplant. Flagrant racism in medicine is alive and well, and it's killing people.

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

my most old-fashioned opinion is that we should bring back markers of mourning - nowadays it feels like people can lose the most important person in the world to them & work will be like ‘you’ve had 2 days off we need you back & pretending everything’s fine’
