A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

This is the fall of collecting all the vaccines, got my tdap booster last month, booked my flu and covid vaccines for next month, and just verified if I needed to get a measles booster (good to go, vaccinated after 1989). Wooooo

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Shocking that the company born out of dudes wanting to rate the hotness of their classmates without their knowledge would want to hide people speaking out about sexual assault happening on college campuses. (I'm being very sarcastic btw, fuck Meta and fuck Zuckerberg)

My partner's annual Twilight re-watch has benefited from a recent-ish role one of the leads had.

"Twilight" (2008). Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is confronting Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)'s supernatural origin.

Spent the day watching Twilight RiffTrax ( ....line...? ) and pulling apart frogged sweater yarn. I had two bulky wool yarn strands balled up together and it took 4 hours to get them pulled apart. It was very relaxing and kind of an arm workout. Not in a rush to do it again lol

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

Working on some training at work today and it involves viewing lots of anatomical diagrams to understand what is going on. Every one of them is generative AI and many of them don't anatomically make sense. So frustrating!!!

Ms. Rachel: “So it's not political to say children shouldn't be killed if they are white but if they are brown or black it is? That's racism.” “We're not going away and we are not going to stop saying not to use our tax dollars to hurt and kill kids and people.”

Ms. Rachel:
“So it's not political to say children shouldn't be killed if they are white but if they are brown or black it is? That's racism.”

“Please stop being racist and care that over 20,000 kids in Gaza were killed and that children continue to be killed. Understand that everyone is outraged because killing thousands and thousands of kids is so obviously wrong and horrific. We're not going away and we are not going to stop saying not to use our tax dollars to hurt and kill kids and people.”

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.

Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other
stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

Ed was in …

What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me.

And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.

I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed.
Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.

When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic:
لا شكر على واجب
"La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty.
That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.

Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people be…

Well, now, printing something like that is conclusive. It's interpretive, requiring an absence of objectivity, rather than simply describing a cut-and-dried piece of evidence, like Zohran Mamdani's responsibility for 9/11, when he was under 10.
