"Black Friday starts NOW" emails remind me of when college professors moved finals early by a week, except they all did it, so you just had one less week to prepare.
The Unseen Truth is one of the most important books to read this year. These truths should not be as eye-opening and shocking as they are. Follow @sarahelizalewis and support the book through your distributor of choice. Here is another link to Goodreads: https://t.co/xpVROzdMcv
Just finished The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America by @sarahelizalewis and recommend it to anyone. Everyone living in the US has an obligation to learn about both the known and little-known and hidden roots of racism. Please read on 🧵

The Unseen Truth is about:
3) The institution of federal segregation at the direction of Woodrow Wilson, his denial and coverup of segregation, and its legacy on the practice of racial domination. There are many reasons to hate Wilson but this is truly the top reason.
A true narcissist will quote you a time in their timezone without saying it explicitly, when they know full well that you are in a different part of the world
@MarthaStewart unapologetically writes about her Japanese allee, Kubota tractor repairs, and how much work goes into polishing her massive silverware collection. She is my hero.
Reflecting again on my time last week watching Martha Stewart for hours on a hotel tv. Obviously one could say she’s the blueprint for the tradwife girlies but there’s so much more to it than that. Unlike them instead of neurotically performing femininity she has this amazing butch energy with her sexy husky voice and dykey haircuts (very Hillary) and her intense disagreeableness which seeps through even the most benign scripted tv segments (watched her squeeze a lemon and then start ranting and raving about how much she hated pre-bottled lemon juice and how it “tastes like Mr. Clean”). Plus she doesn’t resort to any sniveling theatrics to pretend she isn’t Filthy Fucking Rich and instead flaunts drone shots of her estate that looks like it belongs to a feudal lord. Meanwhile it’s obvious she could have coasted through life on her rich husband, literal model looks, genius IQ, and banging personality but she instead chose to build a true Girlboss Empire the likes of which the world has never seen. And on top of all that the content she makes is actually extremely useful and inspiring and has been so consistently for the last thirty years. A living legend and a Very Good Thing.
@Mailchimp Can I pile on?? Shoutout to the product marketing team for the incredible animated success screen when a campaign is scheduled. You are doing your best work.
Les Misérables: Shootout, many characters dead, careening toward the end of the book, great work on making it this far
Also Les Misérables: Here’s a brief history of France’s sewer system
Here is a thread for my first pass of Les Misérables, which I am reading 20 years after the end of the Broadway show, and 10 years after the last movie adaptation, neither of which I got around to seeing.
