When I was a girl, my aunts used to call their periods “X.” as in “Did you get your X.” And one of the ways menopause is referred to in Arabic is “Age of Despair.” The stigma around our bodies is real and universal. And whispering about it does not save us.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

As anyone who watched the Liberty playoff run closely will tell ya, neither Sabrina nor Stewie are currently the best player on that team. They’re just the most “marketable”. 👀 ☕️ #unrivaled
