I have not been able to stop thinking about this small French child at the aquarium that walked i.e up next to us grabbing his mom's hand, pointed at a starfish, and said "Mama! Patrique!"
there is an obvious logical problem here. If Jews are not to be blamed for the actions of the Israeli government (and they most certainly aren't), why should criticism of that government constitute throwing them under the bus?
i think a lot of feminists would benefit from reading about second wave feminism bc y’all keep fighting against rights you don’t remember being won for you. pregnancy being de stigmatised and seen as appropriate for the public is a very recent thing and frankly not even complete.
I am a feminist. I could NEVER have children because they obviously siphon away your youth and beauty which is clearly the only thing us women have going for us. Did you hear that, moms? You are old and ugly. Also you have no potential anymore. You wasted it on your stupid daughters :/ I am so smart
Fun fact: children are young humans who are in the process of learning how to be adult humans and exist in the human world! Dogs, on the other hand, will never be humans and therefore do not need to experience "going inside a coffee shop" at any point in their canine lives.
That Elon Musk interview is a car crash. I know plenty are furious at the Economist for platforming him but if you watch it you’ll see a man given just enough rope to hang himself. He’s a blundering idiot on almost every topic. Quite reminiscent of Boris Johnson as PM.
women get about the same amount of degrees in history as men & dominate anthropology degrees. genders read history as a hobby at similar rates. while the types of history books read are slightly different. men think they're history buffs & women aren't is bc men are just louder
George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.
It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.
Great article but that “arrogance” label also acts as a dog whistle for certain players. Rashford got the same treatment and so did Saka. Even Madueke made posts on his socials trying to push back against it. And you can keep going down the list.
ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to deny location sharing and turn off personalized ads and reject all non-essential cookies and not set up siri and face ID
Not exaggerating when I say the future depends on this catching on en masse. Kids, adults. Book clubs, silent reading groups. For the past twenty-five years tech has corroded our attention, intelligence and basic pleasure in living, and books are the key to winning them back.
