#HampshireCollege alum, educator and gender and sexuality alliance adviser Randy Furash-Stewart 99F wins Advancing Equity & Justice Award from the Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Youth. https://t.co/V6io28VFQU https://t.co/lqbgRAgsM4

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

[Campus Pride @campuspride]

A devastating ruling that eliminates a critical tool that helps ensure equity and diversity in higher education. Systemic racism is very real, and campuses should be able to use every tool at their disposal to empower and uplift students of color. https://t.co/FoSuTFTN3p

I was pretty moved to see how many inclusive Eid services were happening today. Gratitude to everyone doing the work to make space for all of us.

@sara4SF @WajahatAli This.

@JustynLJMelrose Hey, my generation’s g33ks started that. 😂 And yet we still expect our news to follow mid-20th century grammatical rules drummed into our parents by nuns with rulers.

[Tynan Power @tynanpower]

@JustynLJMelrose In this case, the answer is “Apparently not widely enough to prevent it from prompting ridicule.” So I would say that was a poor choice.

[Tynan Power @tynanpower]

@JustynLJMelrose Unless the AP has changed its tune, all contractions should be avoided in news writing. That said, grammar rules should reflect—not prescribe—usage. The pertinent question is “how widely used is that particular contraction?”

[Tynan Power @tynanpower]

@JustynLJMelrose Also though, this podcast was pretty awesome. Great work!

[Tynan Power @tynanpower]

@JustynLJMelrose It’s amazing that The Used has been at the top of your rotation since you were approximately 12 and had two different hairstyles on either side of your head.
