"The left hasn't necessarily done ourselves a whole lot of favors by making our narrative 'Don't be toxic. Don't be this bad thing.'" Good stuff from Brian Heilman, coauthor of the new @equimundo_org report on the state of young men in @Newsweek

Absolutely sublime. Kabi Nazrul, the Rebel Poet, wrote the most transcendent love songs too and this particular version is perfection. Well done, #CokeStudioBangla

#CokeStudioBangla Season 2’s latest song #DaraleyDuaarey is a ghazal written and composed by Kazi Nazrul Islam. Mukul Mojumder Ishaan and Sanzida Mahmood Nandita have lent their voices to the melodious composition.

Breakfast is known as ‘the most important meal of the day’. Soon Muslims will be waking up for suhoor - the predawn meal prepared before fasting. The Muslim world is beautifully diverse & home to much breakfast inspiration

@1a @SingletaryM @AHSolomon @HopeMHarvey I moved back in w/ my family to take on financial responsibilities in my 20s in a tough time. Are there any statistics about younger generations caring for families? Particularly among BIPOC communities?

I saw "Till" in a theater full of students, some of them around 14, the age at which Emmett Till was brutally murdered in 1955. The theater was silent. They barely blinked as they took in the story of the vivacious young man, falsely accused of crossing racial lines in the South.

@artlust I think it’s also about what they don’t do! They don’t • provide opportunties to grow professionally • bother with emotional intelligence • celebrate non-curatorial staff accomplishments

Museum Pros. I’m trying to imagine Museum 3.0.

Work place improvements have to be part of that. Curious. How would you answer this question? [video women asking: what’s the most toxic thing a boss did to you]
