@Meaningness @HerrPseudo Very glad to see where your essay went! "I do selfing in different ways when interacting with different situations" - yes! I view my self as my brain's imaginary friend; it has some consistency but a lot more play in its nature.

Why does Egypt keep the border with Gaza closed?
Why are there more Palestinian refugees in Jordan than in Palestine?
Why doesn't Lebanon grant citizenship to Palestinian refugees?

Do Arab countries really support Palestine?
It's not as it seems:

@Meaningness You look like Berger from the movie Hair! That's not a bad thing!

I learned more about my body while trying to conceive than I’d ever been taught—information that can also be used *not* to conceive.

That info is the birthright of all girls, women, and non-binary/trans people with uteruses.

I highly recommend this book:

As of just now, AskHistorians has taken its forums offline to protest @Reddit's policies regarding API and third-party developers.

You may well be thinking: why has such a dry-sounding issue managed to spark one of the largest user revolts in social media history?

Well... 🧵

So my work as an historian is archival and based in the research that I love, but it also is informed by a very personal way of knowing. I got the opportunity to bring that all together in Black Folk! I am so excited to share it with you all! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Why am I not surprised that pre-war British intellectuals hated tinned food? Salmon for the rich (then), heaven forbid that the rest could now open a can for this formerly elite treat.

California: The dystopian hellscape they've been warning you about.

This was one of the hardest stories I've ever had the misfortune of writing.

The entire time Amy and I were writing it, we struggled to fathom the jail medical staff's response. The only logical conclusion after years of working on carceral reforms is that reforms don't work.🧵

"After almost 5 days in quarantine, I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I went to medical w/ contraction 2 days in a row-in agony helped by another female inmate-only to be turned away both times, saying I was faking it or dehydrated. They never checked for dilation or anything."

- The “trickle-up principle” of public safety: effective safety must be built from the bottom-up, not top-down.
- When the poorest and most vulnerable benefit from focused support systems, everyone ultimately benefits from improved safety and security. 24/

First, violence is not just a matter of interpersonal violence or crime. To effectively stop criminal violence, we must also account for structural violence (e.g., poverty, unaffordable housing, unemployment, police violence, barriers to healthcare access, etc.). 20/

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Judges and enforcers know this, even when they don't admit it, which is why they spend so much effort on set-dressing - robes and gavels and somber paneling and formal language. Deep down, they're theater kids with pretensions. 27/

This is brilliant. Watch til the end.

J'ai la tristesse de vous faire part du décès de Nguyên Thê Anh, immense historien du Viêt Nam et de l'Asie du sud-est, ce matin, à l'âge de 87 ans. Je viens d'apprendre la nouvelle. Si vous ne le connaissez pas, voici son portrait (@lescahiersdunem) :

Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .
