I just bought ballet tickets for the first time and then this Timothee Chalamet thing happens 😆

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

He needs a fake girlfriend to avoid his family’s holiday matchmaking. This pretend romance won’t change their friendship...right? Read Zach & Jo's story, A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year, in ebook, paperback, or audio! jackielaubooks.com/books/a-fake...

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

We're talking bodyguard romance on the blog today!

im actually obsessed with this absolutely stunning work

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Finding out the identity of the secret traitor was like finding out who Lady Whistledown was

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hassan. Hassan had a private timber workshop before this. It was destroyed and so was his home and car. He is now living in a tent with his family including his children Joud, 8 and Ivana, 4. He really wants to rebuild his home ❤️

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding

Jury trials scrapped for crimes with sentences of less than three years

"It's not political" is an odd thing to say while describing the conservative mindset, though. The desire to be the hegemonic demographic, to impose your perception of "norms" on everyone else, is pretty political.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

An extraordinary thing, this. A line up of stars performing at Wembley Arena to show their love and solidarity with the trans community and in aid of Good Law Project and Not A Phase. Register now for tickets. www.transmissionlive.uk
