Let’s keep in touch without the musky odors 🥰

As the blue check overlord continues to wreak havoc, I think we just keep up with the keeping up, which, for me, involves staying in connection with my people, aka why I’ve been here for 13+ years.

So, here’s my linktree: https://t.co/llTU4Jbc4U

Follow, so i can follow back💙

Oh shit. Sally Field kinda went off here. “The garment you knit for yourself as a child.” Might have to read her memoir now.

Sweetie… they are literally shouting at Jewish people to “go back to Poland.”

Who are you kidding with this shit?

[ali @inner_moppet]

@anthonyzenkus @LucasFoxNews And Jewish students have fuck all to do with that.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

And the White House is absolutely right to say so. It’s ridiculous to watch blatant antisemitism be waved away as necessary for “legitimate protest.”

It is not legitimate. It is hateful, and it must be rejected by every reasonable adult.

[Alex גדעון בן װעלװל @JewishWonk]

The reason why you don't hear this is because most people get information mediated through media, which sanitizes what are clear calls for violence as "pro-Palestinian advocacy." As if you can't advocate for Palestinians without calling for Jews to die.

I have problems with organizers naming an event after October 7 and calling for 1000 more October 7ths, but the problem is with the hateful politics, not with people practicing Islam.

Answering antisemitism with islamophobia helps no one.

There is no “internal sunscreen”. It is applied to the skin’s surface because it acts like a SCREEN. It SCREENS out the UVA/UVB rays that damage the DNA of the skin. Your body tries to repair some of the damage but eventually the mutations accumulate and can lead to skin cancer.

The responses from men to this woman really highlight the state of men. Just undone over a man they don't know being lightly ridiculed for lecturing her on something she's clearly familiar with. And if they'll become this aggressive online, imagine how they treat women offline.

This is my
parents’ wedding song. I sat down with my dad just as it started playing and be a buffer for my dad’s grief: https://t.co/eWPnSy1Az1

Watching a PBS special of oldie, doo wop rock with my dad and he keeps testing my music history, to see if my childhood listening to the music playing in the back of my parents’ car stuck.

And I’ve known almost every high pitched note.

(Though, to be fair, at least some of my music knowledge is from movies and TV using these songs)

Please Watch With Sound On…

A woman is grabbed by the Islamic Republic of Iran's so-called morality police and shoved into the back of one of their notorious vans.

The morality police are back on the streets in full force, harassing women and girls, damaging and seizing their property, and "arresting" them violently.

Need a thread for all of the ladies at the WNBA draft? We've got you covered!

First up, Angel Reese 🔥

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Respectfully, there have been 32 trans athletes who have competed at the NCAA level, ever. Most have been trans men. None in women’s basketball. 1 in WNBA history.

Meanwhile, under-funding, under-resourcing, under-promoting, under-marketing, and utter disregard for women’s sports has been a persistent, decades-long problem. I wish you and others would use that same energy you have in attacking the trans community to pressure decision makers to do better in supporting women’s sports. Money, resources and commitment is what make women’s sports thrive — and the lack thereof is what will truly make women’s sports disappear.

My first concert! I was 14/15 at the local community college.
