Covering mass shootings for as long as I have, I'm especially grateful for the work of my colleagues @h-lev.bsky.social in Providence and @jamespwest.bsky.social in Sydney—both with vivid, moving reporting directly from the aftermath of these latest tragedies. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Glad the good folks at @merriam-webster.com are helping lead the AI resistance

This is how a normal country responds to a mass shooting. And no, it's not too early. "Australia PM will propose tougher gun laws after Bondi Beach mass shooting" abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

This entire weekend

is there anything more futile in december 2025 than taking an hr course on sexual harassment at an institute of higher education

"God-given breast milk!" What about "God-given family leave so mothers can actually take time away from work to feed and bond with their babies with pay?"

Women: improve traveling by a family room to feed and change my kids, a play area to get wiggles out, better seating, better transport to airports, affordable healthy food, allowing my kids to sit with me on the plane for free and free bags. Men: clearly we just need a pull up bar.

The #WestCoastHealthAlliance continues to strongly recommend vaccines to protect our children, noting that rigorous research of millions of people in multiple countries over decades provides high quality evidence that vaccines are not linked to #autism. (1/

If men had to put their balls in a vice once a year they would have come up with a better screening method than mammograms.

An hour to get to the airport, having to get through security, dragging two kids through the airport and squished on a plane for 6-15hrs where i end up covered in kid stickiness, snacks and juice. Yeah that is definitely a reason to ruin my good clothes and be uncomfortable.

Why did we take a mandatory unit on the Holocaust every year in Hebrew school if not to recognize this pattern

Getting pretty fucking tired of the President of the United States getting away with shit that would get someone fired from any even entry level job

Stop the slop.

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

Today i am reminded of this @theawkwardyeti.bsky.social. The last year/decade in a nutshell.

Still waiting for an answer! bsky.app/profile/did:...

“Did women ruin the workplace?” No. Hope that helps.

Many parenting books and articles advise “It takes a village” and “Don’t be afraid to ask for help.” The problem is, @olgakhazan.bsky.social writes, “I didn’t have a village,” and many other moms don’t either:

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

James Watson was an extreme misogynist and racist who stole Rosalind Franklin’s DNA research. Full Stop.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

The world sucks right now but my 5 yr old just got up on stage at her school assembly and told a 1000 kids they were all beautiful.

Scientist James Watson has died. As per his final requests, he will be buried in such a position that he can still look over the shoulder of the grave of Dr. Franklin, just in case zombie Rosalind discovers something else worth swiping.

I see James Watson has died. What did Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin's lab notes. Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Sad, but that’s the reality in the U.S.

The diagram for what Palantir does is like if Richard Scarry got super paranoid and did an Apocalypse picture book

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

I saw him speak 10+ years ago and was witness to the amount of overt sexism & rascism in his talk about his career. I will never forget the the pictures he put up of Rosalind Franklin serving coffee and the ‘biologists just observe, they don’t think’ jab.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

it seems weird to those of us who have been voting for a long time but there are millions of people who for their first time voting saw harris lose and now have seen this years mini-blue wave and it has given them some semblance of hope. and that is very important.

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

I love neighborhood Halloween. Parents walking around with their “coffee” cups, excited kids, teenagers in their front yard parties giving candy to the kids, older empty nesters giving out wine and jello shots, running into everyone you know. It makes me see the good in the world.
