Stares in sex worker. Where have I hear this before

I have already written lots of words about this, some of which are with an editor. I will say that I personally know the horror of people hanging out with my rapist even though they’ve heard the rumors. I wrote about that in Rape Is Part of This Scientific Story in my first book:

also yall might see this as a rant, it is but my conclusion isn't DOOM. my conclusion is always: "if modern racism has a start date, it has an End date as well" the concepts + structures we fight are not nebulous or out of our control. we're all brainwashed to seek division over love.

I‘ve mentioned that thanks to the Epstein tranche I learned that one of my PhD advisors, Lee Smolin, continued to have contact with Epstein after 2007, which is not the impression I had It’s weird to say the least for my professional past to become a public story that demands feminist analysis

I know what white Christian people think they’re doing when they say Platner has a bunch of other issues like being a mercenary. That’s true. But people who don’t tolerate Nazis already had all our evidence, his Nazism is enough. Where there’s smoke there’s fire & we assume Nazis are up to no good.

The Mellon Foundation is run by a Black woman poet and has for years given no strings attached grants to programs like women’s and gender studies departments while Epstein, whose circles included the people in governance power right now, demanded performative fealty from those he might give $ to

Yes, it is her artwork, but I wonder why Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) is using this particular image to promote it's show about Black and Native artist Edmonia Lewis. It's almost as if they don't want certain people to go. #BHM #BlackSky www.pem.org/exhibitions/...

One reason why it's important to frame-check people running for office is bc it's often a great way to understand when they are knowingly being disingenuous and when their communication is largely signalling (itself a complicated thing). Recently had a great conversation about this w/ a friend

The next year (after handily defeating me) she fixed the street outside my school (we are still waiting on one of our speed bumps). We found a good frame that also had facts (and good visuals!) to go with it. Frame checking rarely reveals an honest mistake and that's why it matters so much.

The connection is math. 🫶🏾 Dr. Ron Eglash uses hair braiding, beading and quilting, Latin percussion beats, and other things to teach math to high school students. Lindiwe Matlali created Knit 2 Code in South Africa to use knitting to teach girls principles of computer science. #BlackSky

Math is everything. Do you want to do a trade? Math! Do you like to cook? MATH! Old man yells at cloud: lack of shop & home economics has stunted entire generations.

At the same time I do like them 😮‍💨😅 It's embarassing bc it's biological right. I can't help it. I love me some men. But I will fucking blast each and everyone of you out of a fucker rocket ship any day of the week. Because you all need to do better to make a safer world for women and girls.

Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907) was the first sculptor of Black and Indigenous (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Starting her career in Boston in 1863, she went to Rome in 1866 to join leading sculptors, breaking international, racial and gender barriers. 👑✊🏾 #BlackSky #ArtSky

I’m not voting for Newsom because it’s 2026 and we have a midterm to focus on before we can even think about nominating a presidential candidate. God, you people are tiresome.

Donald Trump is thanking our Veterans for their service by eliminating their abortion care—even in cases of rape, incest or health concerns. Women servicemembers experience higher rates of sexual assault and fertility issues. This latest betrayal of our heroes must be reversed.

This is a very important and under discussed story surrounding Newsom and his priorities -- especially because of this part: www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

After reading open letter from acclaimed mezzo soprano Denyce Graves announcing her retirement, I wonder if she would have considered her experience to be one of disability. In interviews and her open letter, she described several chronic and painful health conditions she endured over 38 years.

Two Israeli female soldiers were chased by an angry crowd of ultra-Orthodox men protesting military enlistment on Sunday. Who is required to serve in Israel’s army is becoming an increasingly contentious issue as the gov't looks to reform the system.

Cautionary tale: I asked Gemini to transcribe a 1-page PDF from The Morning Post from the early 1800s. I was interested in testing its accuracy. It hallucinated a full transcription of book review that doesn't exist and then invented false citations when I asked where the review was from. #AI

White people know how to gate keep to keep non cishet white people out of power. We have done it, factually, since our ancestors colonized Native land. That also means we know damn well how to keep a fascist felon out of power.... and are choosing otherwise.

This is deeply troubling to hear. Texas and Florida are effectively dismantling their higher education systems. Faculty members are leaving. About a decade ago, we were recruited to relocate our lab to UT Austin, and I’m relieved that we ultimately decided against it.

Also, clothes photographers: please don’t have your model rumple up the clothes, or cheekily unbutton parts of the shirts. I need to see what those look like sitting and standing and that’s it. If there’s any sort of daring design element (like the entire back being open), show that!

"Watchfulness is the most dangerous form of resistance because it obstructs the regime’s project of habituation. Fascism works by making the extreme normal… It is obvious he is trying to make the sight of armed and masked men with virtually unlimited powers one to which Americans are accustomed."
