I think the most frustrating thing about studying misogyny is its banality. People don’t want to believe how insidious it is, how culpable they are—just look at how the world treated Mia Farrow and Amber Heard. It’s utterly exhausting.

Teachers and librarians and parents! In an age of smartphones, social media, and a million zillion distractions, how do you encourage children to read? How do you spark the desire to get them to put their phones down and pick up a book?

Payroll is delayed again. My organization is scrambling and have promised manual checks by next Wednesday (when my rent is due 💀). But the chaos this administration is wreaking on nonprofits just fucking infuriates me.

Get a library card. Find a topic you are interested in. Check out some books. Make a habit of spending even just a few minutes reading every day. Your brain needs exercise, and you will find that there is much joy in learning on your own terms.

You can also look up the citations yourself or use any number of older citation bookmark extensions without relying on an algorithm that destroys the environment.

I want to share my new job with you, the one I started TODAY. But I need to know we have enough money to make it to the end of the month. I hate having to ask. It feels like failure, which is hard to hold alongside celebration for a new job. PLEASE, y'all. Help, please. gofund.me/bea53be1

I get that a lot of people don’t like to read, which encourages reliance on ChatGPT and TikTok - but “aversion to reading” has been an issue for basically forever, and I believe that instead of just giving up, we should still be strongly encouraging people to read, because it’s good for society

like I am pretty sure we all knew Rainbow Capitalism stuff was performative but it’s still jarring to see like every company on Earth go “well thank CHRIST we don’t have to do THAT anymore” because one shitty guy became president

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

PAYROLL HAS BEEN RELEASED THANK GOD. Thank you all for your help. We’re not out of the woods yet—I’ve no doubt the idiots in power are gearing up for a second attack on nonprofits. Keep calm and resist.

in retrospect maybe it was a mistake to tell young people that reading, the arts, the humanities weren’t important and that “learning to code” was sufficient for a good life.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

For historical context on how we reached the point of a right-wing task force to "eradicate" chimerical anti-Christian bias, I recommend books by @kkdumez.bsky.social, @robertpjones.bsky.social, and Tim Alberta. This seems part and parcel of the MAGA right's desire not to reduce the scope of gov't/

I have just been informed by the HR department of the nonprofit I work for that I will not be receiving my pay check tomorrow due to Trump’s freeze of federal funds. We will receive an update tomorrow afternoon on a "potential payment date". I am very very angry.

The thing that frustrates me about the “are MAGA Christians actually TRUE Christians?” discourse is… What’s the worst thi g that’s going to happen if you admit that they are? What’s the worst that will happen if you admit they are representative of the state of your faith?
