We are thrilled to announce that the CMS Online Letters has been awarded a grant from @nehgov to continue our work. This kind of support will help get us to the finish line! Thank you, NEH, for supporting scholarship that honors the contributions of American women.

Kanye West used his Super Bowl ad to drive millions to his website, where he's selling swastika t-shirts. Kanye’s domain is registered by @GoDaddy; his website is run on @Shopify.

The swastika symbolizes the murder of millions of Jews and the hatred of other minority groups.

@GoDaddy @Shopify, why are you enabling and profiting from sales of Nazi t-shirts?

@AndyKimNJ Thanks, Senator Kim! Keep up the protests!

We love CMS's fanciful description of her bedroom rug in this 1823 letter to her sister-in-law Jane Minot Sedgwick, with references to both Grimm's fairy tales and Shakespeare. See the rest of the letter at https://t.co/8gveqSM1xC

I want to quickly highlight a completely bonkers part of Trump's Project 2025 agenda relating to your salary and faith. You have to see this stuff in text to understand the degree to which these extreme MAGA types want to control your life.

Important (and not surprising) information. ⬇️ So many fronts to fight on.

Excited to share this podcast featuring my coeditors, Patricia Kalayjian and Lucinda Damon Bach, focusing on the letters of Catharine Maria Sedgwick! If you like 19th-century women writers, literary recovery, snarky letters and smart women, you'll love it! https://t.co/dXxG37hKLN

i.e. "We will deal with domestic violence later after the war" but later never comes.

@chaninicholas Okay but this Libra liked last year’s welcome message better so going with that one. 😉

@pithy_pants @monaeltahawy FWIW, I wrote a little bit about my reactions to the Barbie movie here: https://t.co/Z3BVdVdivu

[Deborah Gussman @DebGussman]

@pithy_pants @monaeltahawy 100% the way my sister & played with Barbies. (We’re 61 & 59 now.) Plus, acting out sex between Barbie & Ken. Didn’t really affect my response to the movie. Years of feminism did though. 😊

NOTE: BARBIE MOVIE SPOILERS.
I had a LOT of thoughts about the Barbie movie, too many for a post. So I ended writing them up as a Medium essay. I'd love to have a conversation about the film! #BarbieMovie https://t.co/h1wcV5DU4g

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.
