The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident

Screenshot of a social media post by Dr. Zje of the Emmy Kind (@Emmy_Zje). The post reads: 'Imagine finding the cause of your life's pain and learning from your doc about a treatment with overwhelmingly positive outcomes. However, accepting treatment is sure to bring societal, familial, and institutional discrimination and hate. That's being trans.' The post includes the hashtag #TransAwarenessWeek.

One reason I have seen the same therapist weekly for nearly 9 years is that she often offers me lines of poetry that are beautiful and perfectly apt for the situation. Another reason is that I will never be ok 😀

NYT obit of poet Maxine Kumin: “Kumin was such an evangelist for the sound of poetry that she exhorted her students to memorize 30-40 lines of it a week. ‘The other reason, as I tell their often stunned faces, is to give them an internal library to draw on when they are taken political prisoner.’”

Humanities got me, a biologist, through a 12-day jail sentence. There are lots of literary and historical protagonists in jail cells to identify with. Also it helps to have some poems memorized for this very situation.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Utah added SEVEN more books to its state-mandated book ban list. Six of those titles are by women. 44 are now banned. This comes the week after a judge permitted a lawsuit brought against their book banning law to proceed. It's the busiest banning year for the state. bookriot.com/utah-bans-44...

I just read Johanna Hedva’s How to Tell When We Will Die, and they answer this question: We will lose. We will lose, over and over again, maybe forever. But in this loss we will train differently, adopt different tactics, and learn how to keep getting back up. We must always get back up.

since I last posted to this website I put super swept-back Albatross/North Road handlebars on two of my bikes, a style I’d never used before. Tip to riders who think they will lose something by riding in such an upright position: try some bars like these. They might change your life.

I was doing a bike tour of Brugge, Belgium today and it started raining and all I had to do was ask to pause for a minute so I could grab my raincoat out of my backpack and put it on, as did my friend. Others grabbed their umbrellas. Then we just continued the ride. It's really that easy.

Join author Kailee Pedersen for a conversation about her new novel The Minimalist, joined by Winchester librarian Tony Corsentino. In this lively and wide-ranging discussion, they will explore the ways that the author's experience as an intercountry adoptee from China informs her creative outlook.
For fans of Tar and The Piano Teacher, this gruesome and unsettling psychological drama is a darkly lucid literary portrait of a classical composer's descent into madness.

This cliche propaganda is a perfect example of how modern conservatism reimagines everything they don't like as a personal attack. The objective of bike lanes is to make drivers miserable? No, but that's how to fire up the base. Everything (immigrants, trans folks, vaccines, bike lanes) is an attack
