If you were in camp “focus on the important things” when they were restoring Confederate monuments and base names here but can recognize the danger there you may want to interrogate some things.

The image reveals my medieval creature which for me is ironic because it's a version of a mascot from my graduate school. The image is a beige background with black and blue lettering. the figure in the center is a winged beast with a blue body and glod wingns withe sharp talons. It is a Griffin. Below in black letters it reads: "You're fearsome and powerful".

well of course, the weird lesbians feuding in a rural massachusetts town is of far greater national significance than a group of men at one of the ivy league schools drugging and raping a woman and the school reducing the punishments for most of the men

I listened to NYT interview with Klein and Taylor about their new book and there was a question that unearth an unspoken belief pattern in NYT coverage of these things that some may mistake as journalistic skepticism. And it centered on the evangelical strain in end times fascism.

From off-Broadway play "Gloria: A Life" GLORIA: “The truth is, I learned feminism from black women.” FLO: “But if you Google Second Wave Feminism—there’s not one reference on the Wikipedia page to a black feminist." The play names 11 Black women. #BlackSky www.broadwaybox.com/daily-scoop/...
screenshot of article titled "11 Black Women Who Helped Shape Gloria Steinem & The Second Wave Feminist Movement".
There is a collage of Gloria Steinem with Dorothy Pitman Hughes, a Black woman who cofounded Ms. magazine with Steinem but who is hardly ever mentioned. She is wearing an afro in photo with Gloria Steinem and they have raised fists, the Black Power gesture. Other African American women include Shirley Chisolm, Flo Kennedy, Aileen Hernandez, Fannie Lou Hamer, Pauli Murray, Audre Lorde
