Lady Gaga: For more than half of this country's life, women did not have a voice. Yet, we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions. But tomorrow, women will be a part of making this decision. Today I am holding in my heart all the women who made me who I am. I cast my vote for someone who will be a president for all, for all Americans. And now, Pennsylvania, it is your turn. The country is depending on you, so tomorrow, let's make sure all your voices are heard

MUST-WATCH: This moving speech by Senator Raphael Warnock at the Harris campaign rally in Altanta, Georgia, will be remembered and watched for generations to come. Just wow.

While I'm waiting for this meeting to start, let me begin today's thread, which is titled:

In Defense of Teaching Shakespeare in the 21st Century, and No that Does Not Mean ONLY Teach Shakespeare or NEVER Teach Anything Else Modern, Diverse, or Current

Having an extremely hard time stomaching serving tourists at work these past few days. A man told me “smile love!” and when I said I’m grieving Maui he told me “but you’re on oahu”

BREAKING: Hawaii national guard activated as wildfires trigger evacuations and power outages.

"Cell service is down, 911 service is down, hospitals already reportedly overwhelmed. This is a very dire situation," @MauraBarrettNBC says.

I am a resident of Maui, Hawaii. My island is on fire. My city was burned fo the ground thanks to wildfires fueled by winds from Hurricane Dora. Tim Scott and every Republican can go to hell as they continue to deny climate change. I’m LIVING the #ClimateCrisis. #MauiFires

Oppenheimer built the bomb that killed my great-grandmother while her grandsons were drafted into the US army and the govt imprisoned her kids. If you're into moody great man biopics, I guess that's cool, but I personally really don't care how he felt while he was doing it.

@michaelsorrell Worked in the Women’s Center lounge at Radcliffe on Work Study and met supportive, kind, welcoming folks.

@A_Aspuru_Guzik @TIDAL My take from listening to reggaetón: the line between creepiness & seductive passion is bafflingly blurry—but makes for a catchy vibe to liven up mundane errands. You know, you roll down the car windows while pumping out imagined coolness on the sound system of your sensible ev.

actors are on strike, writers are on strike, teamsters are on strike, hotel employees are on strike, grad students are on strike, health care workers are on strike... can we realize there are deep systemic issues in this country yet

@DesignTheFuture @TurtlesTrading @kamilrextin @jayacunzo Recognizing your own security & prospects are taking a hugely disproportionate hit feels like digging yourself in a hole to lay foundations for your family. You dig in deeper hoping to build something stronger & lasting knowing if it falls, the loss will be all the more crushing.

@DesignTheFuture @TurtlesTrading @kamilrextin @jayacunzo Staying home to raise children is psychologically difficult (& also highly risky/potentially unwise) especially when your contribution is not fully valued by a partner and/or society. That it is at once a “choice” & a “privilege” makes it perhaps tolerable but more excruciating.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

@Ramsey_Kilani @sarahrimmington I love Toronto’s public parks, playgrounds, dog parks, ravines, waterfront, people, and the many cultural events. People also complain about TTC, but it’s an admirable system. As someone who relocated from the US, I find these complaints baffling.

“What the dog park offers is a wonderful stripping of identities. Your politics, career or background no longer matter. Even your name isn’t essential. In the dog park you are known only – sometimes shamefully – by your dog.” #keepingitreal
