The gall to defund our libraries while refusing to cut the NYPD's budget. On National Library Workers Day, no less. This will remove countless opportunities for New Yorkers and their families to read, learn, and grow, for free. But that's not important to austerity Democrats.
“Oh my god, they wrote down the racism policy,” said attorney Mackenzie Hayes, a former prosecutor in Jack Campbell’s State Attorney’s Office, in response to finding the memo in Campbell’s office.
4. “What works for a philosophical essay works for a portrait; @jkehe’s quest isn’t to capture Sanderson as much as it is to capture why people love Sanderson so much, and what animates his sprawling fictional worlds.”

People, please wake up to what is happening.
Our schools, our libraries, our freedom to read and learn, our ability to accept one another, our children: all of it is under attack.
Stand up now while you still can.
Imagine you watched me gather the following ingredients: 1½ cups all-purpose flour; 1½ teaspoons baking powder; 1⁄4 teaspoon salt; ½ cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; ½ cup whole milk.

I'd appreciate it if you'd all thank me for getting the FDIC to see the urgency of SVB and do their jobs over the weekend! My tweets made this happen!
(They didn't. FDIC has done this *checks notes* 562 times in pretty much the same way. But if VCs can claim credit, so can I!😃)
🤦🏿♂️*sigh* I can't believe I still have to explain this stuff:
If I say, "Children are our future" most Black folk agree.👍🏿
But if I say, "We mus t secure the exist*nce of our people and a futu4e for our children." Black folk disagree.
Because that phrase is a N*zi dog whistle.
Despicable.
Not only did the New York Times publish the op ed defending JK Rowling the day after the GLAAD letter criticized its trans coverage...
It publicly threatened all of the trans employees and allies that signed onto that letter.
DROP the New York Times.
@PAWZ212@DevinElleKurtz I've supported patreons where there was tiering on how fast you got content and on how much access you got to the creator. But eventually all the content became free, just on a large time delay (months).
At Auschwitz we see the end of the process, but the Holocaust did not start from gas chambers & murder.
The hatred developed from marking a victim who could not escape its fate, from ideology & words, through legal exclusion, violence & dehumanization.
Auschwitz took time.
It’s insane how America is so accustomed to our failed system that when an 82-year-old veteran can only afford to retire because of a viral video, the media thinks it’s a feel-good story instead of a dystopian nightmare.
Twitter is censoring links to a BBC documentary that examined Prime Minister Modi's role in violent 2002 riots that saw over 1,000 deaths. https://t.co/C8hQDYTYbH
The worst take over the OGL v1.2 I've seen is the "If you're worried about the offensive content clause, you're who they don't want making stuff for D&D".
Except the people I've seen express concern are marginalized groups who have had such clauses weaponized against them.
