it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

Well I don’t think I’ve ever signed up for a paid subscription as quickly as I just did for @soraya.press. I was catching up on my email, it was linked in @stinkylulu.bsky.social’s TheatreClique, my credit card was READY.

Tfw you learn that a journalist you admired back in the early days of Jezebel is now a raging antisemite (and this is far from the worst of it!) Ugh

Today in the chat of a webinar on digital strategy, the host of the event told me that she thinks I’m a big deal now. I’m not tagging anyone. I just want to brag that someone I know is a big deal sees the ways I’ve grown since I was an unemployed volunteer for her conference!

I saw something at the grocery store today that kind of horrified me and I therefore must share it with all of you.
The freezer section at Westside Market in NYC featuring “Eggo ice cream sandwiches.” The “chocolatey chip” flavor features “chocolate and brown butter flavored ice cream with chocolate chips sandwiched between two brown butter waffle cookies.” The “buttery maple” flavor features “brown butter flavored ice cream with rich maple swirls” and the same cookies. Both are sold in four packs that resemble the waffle boxes: red Eggo logo, yellow background, and swirls of brown and orange respectively. The blueberry box had been destroyed, and was stuck in the front of the freezer case. It has “blueberry and brown butter flavored ice cream” which appears sort of purple.

“Piacenti worked as a Vice President for Business Selection and Conflicts for Bank of America” That’s a pretty mundane banking job yet there are hundreds of people acting like someone went and stabbed Hitler in the replies and quotes here. People have to get it together.

The reason why people think Dolly was “politically neutral” is because they don’t understand being political as a series of actions born of commitment to an idea. Being political as defined by the pundit class is to be in front of a microphone delivering sound bytes, it’s something to be devoured

It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

Employees began noticing the missing tips after the team’s owner, Diamond Baseball Holdings, took over managing the concessions from a contractor at the start of the 2026 season. In previous years, workers could earn as much as $200 or more on a busy night. The stadium does not accept cash, so all tips are made via credit or debit cards. Some workers have put out tip jars in a mostly futile attempt to make up some of the difference, they said.

I do not dream of labor, workplaces are often terrible, etc but… I am in utter awe of the director who is completely unashamed when she says, in a full team meeting, that she hasn’t seen someone’s response to her request in Asana because she doesn’t check it regularly because she hates it.

My WNBA group chat was all abuzz with approval for the new Cleveland Sirens brand, as “Sirens” met the primary criteria for a WNBA team name: could this team name be the subject on which a 19th century lesbian poet would write? Thus, we bring you: Emily Dickinson on the WNBA.

This intro script is great for big feelings but I’m ashamed of them for failing to introduce the AAGPBL players. And I have no context for who these people being introduced now might be. #WPBL

The announcements are not telling us who these women on the field are? No chyron or anything. I assume the older women are players from the AAGPBL but I’d like someone to tell me who they are. #WPBL

Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

so I just want to emphasize something here that non-media people might not pick up on: Marisa is an independent journalist and is taking on the risk of being sued by Moraff here without any institutional backing. That's admirable bravery - and also means being very, very certain of the facts.
