#BreonnaTaylor #SayHerName Today is another injustice. We see it. We know it. We reject injustice and stand for our sister.

“Tenderness is the most modest form of love. It is the kind of love that does not appear in the scriptures or the gospels… It appears wherever we take a close and careful look at another being, at something that is not our ‘self.’”

Although not a mass shooting, on this date (Apr 19) in 1995, a white supremacist and gun rights zealot bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 167 people (including 19 children) and injuring at least 592 others: 💔😡💔 #DisarmHate https://t.co/Oe4Uu9viAW

@FmmDoom @loverbello101 @MxniMxy The fact that the OG said NOTHING about black men yet you made it about that is the whole point. We talk in about what is happening to BLACK WOMEN period.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

Fascinating paper just published in Science.

The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more.

Their central finding challenges a common belief.

Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time.

By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top.

An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence.

Link to the paper in the first reply.

My goal as a journalist is to report carefully on the best, most practical social policy ideas that can change the world, and this is easily the most exciting one I’ve had the opportunity to cover this year.

I hope you'll read it 🧵↓

Just got the finished copy of FOR THE SUN AFTER LONG NIGHTS — our book on #Iran's Woman, Life, Freedom uprising. It's so surreal to see it in its finished form after yearly 3 years of work.

Pre-order here and I hope to see you at one of our book events: https://t.co/YhbOwztuLm

@RobynDMarley_ Before Jack and Jill 1 and all the like - was using a paper bag it was “how many generations removed from slavery” and be sure 1 did not qualify 😣the talented 10th has a highly problematic backstory indeed
