As an alumna of UVA, I am sad and angry. Jefferson (whom I don’t revere, but like most Hoos, I admire his passion for higher education and independence) must be rolling in his grave.

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Did anyone else see the straight up Trump propaganda commercial before the Chiefs/Bills game? Like a campaign ad, but just, “Trump is awesome. Yay America.” I haven’t seen anything about it. Was I dreaming (nightmare-ing)?

She was preaching her (Christian!) faith. If that’s causing division, it’s not on her.

This would be fragile masculinity, which is different from regular masculinity, which is ALSO DIFFERENT from toxic masculinity.

"Masculine Energy"
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

I think it would be very interesting! I haven’t read the books, but in the TV version of Interview with the Vampire the main character is Black, as is the young female vampire. Some race issues explored as it’s in Louisiana. Juxtaposition of his supernatural power vs powerless in the Deep South.

IMO, the core aspects of vampirism are being undead, drinking blood, and passing as human. Sun thing more minor. But I think it could be very interesting to explore skin color and vampirism, since vampires have historically been a symbol of the “other”, and POC also persecuted for their otherness.

I love vampires & vampire lore! In original Dracula he could walk in the sun. In True Blood they had UV filtering windows. In Twilight they sparkle. In A Discovery of Witches the sun is a non issue. Slavic folklore vampires were white/pale, but I don’t think skin color changes in modern variations.

Wasn’t Bush Sr crucified because of the whole “read my lips, no new taxes” campaign promise he broke, but Trump isn’t even in office yet, already walking back his promises, and no one cares.

I kind of chuckled at the idea of lovingly working on a canal. What does that even mean? But it’s all so unhinged. Also will Canada, Greenland, and Panama get votes in the Electoral College? Senators? That’s not good math for the GOP. None of it makes sense.

I 100% support Blake Lively. I can admit the smear campaign worked on me. I believed she was “difficult, flighty, rude” etc. What a coincidence that the same people who are doubling down now - despite 80 pages of evidence - also cannot recognize the propaganda that they fall for every day.

My middle son was born at 4 am Christmas morning. I was soooo sad he’d have to share his birthday, but he LOVES it. He tells everyone throughout December that his birthday is Christmas. It’s made a special day extra special. And we do a small half birthday party in June 😎

Anyone else super invested in the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament? I’m rooting for Nebraska because I love the visibility they’ve brought to the sport, Penn State because their coach is a motivation, and Louisville because ACC (and I arbitrarily don’t like Pitt 🤷🏻‍♀️) #EveryoneWatchesWomensSports

Lurking on Threads. Man commented on a benign story about yoga that he wasn’t a misogynist but had to advocate for men in our misandrist society. Next comment he said women are nothing but uteruses. I live in a bubble of decent men; it’s always terrifying to be reminded that some men think this way.
