Curious about other perspectives on Know My Name, I looked up the community reviews on Goodreads. It's interesting that people can read the book and still call the legal system "justice".

Probably very late to the party, but the audiobook of Chanel Miller's Know My Name only became available the other day: it's very, very good. The way that she illustrates the wider context that her assault and the legal case played out in is beautiful, if brutal. Highly recommend reading it.

what if we didn’t turn photos of Musk into memes? what if, since he’s made it clear that one of the greatest desires of the withered and howling void where his heart should be is to “become meme,” we at least deny him that? also i hate his stupid face so much stop making me look at it

like...writers...you can't rail against A/I books then turn around and use A/I covers artists, why would you denounce A/I art but casually use ch@tgpt same goes for A/I voices and music we are ALL at risk of getting exploited -- we shouldn't be sabotaging each other and making it easier for them

still baffled by the number of creatives who rail against A/I art then turn around and use ch@tgpt "just for fun" 🫠

Captain Picard is a better politician, diplomat, and rights lawyer than Kier Starmer could ever hope to be, and he isn't even any of those things because he's busy being the captain of a really cool spaceship.

The way you know money isn't important in Star Trek is that their poker games include a robot, a psychic, and a guy with x-ray glasses.

Liz Truss falling back on the old Tory excuse of blaming Labour; specifically a PM who left office in 2007. Her lot had 14 years to change things; including her 49 days in No.10. Her assumptions about American ignorance are doing a lot of heavy lifting! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This site includes the "clear guidance" that Trump's EO 14168 mandated should be produced within 30 days to expand on the definition of sex in that order. This is what the policies of the US Government will be based on. Let's take a walk through...

On the day I read an article about an issue with Boeing 737 MAX engines and something called a Load Redistribution Device, too. Hopefully it's relatively subtle foreshadowing by this season's writers room

genuinely don't get why anyone who is not subscribed to musk's political project is throwing content up there. this & all other evidence dismantles the argument that one needs to 'stay and fight' the war of ideas (lol) on a platform that is making it clear as day it will not give you a fair fight

February is Marfan awareness month, which means it’s time for me to do my little annual sermon. Hello! I’m Verity, I’m 38, and I have Marfan Syndrome. I’m 6’3”, built like a noodle, my joints are very lax, and there’s a long scar down my sternum from when my heart was repaired in 2019.

Sorting out a heap of paperwork, I found this photo in a file. I should really get a frame for it. I was 18; it was 1997 and I did kind of have a tiny crush on Rick Biggs for a while after this. His (at the time) fiancé Lori was also very lovely. His passing was a tragedy.

No greater sign of Badenoch's complete capture by US extreme right dogma than her use of the term "DEI". We call it EDI in the UK. She's performing for a constituency that isn't North West Essex. 🤠

The British Labour government has strikingly similar policies on disability, mental health provision, trans-rights and even austerity to the Trump admin. They're more polite about it but on a vast swathe of social policy their intent is the same.

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

As it's past midnight by CET, spouse just gave me my birthday present. Can I wait the 54 minutes until it's actually 46 years since the day I arrived? Hell, maybe I'll make it to the time on my birth certificate.
