hi, my name is Charlotte Moore-Lambert. you may know me from such hits as these screenshots that now make content thieves very popular on Instagram
again: people not on tiktok have NO IDEA about the layers of a thing they see in the wild

I see the words “Ballerina Farm” and all of the other words around it immediately cease to surprise me because I know the words “egg apron”
This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact."

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

It grinds my gears that Neil Gaiman can assault as many people as he wants and still have a new book coming out, while marginalized authors say one kinda tone deaf thing at a con once and lose their entire careers over it

CC Astronomy first went live just over *11 years ago*. Dang. It has over 85 million views total now, and while it's getting out of date in some ways, I just linked to it in a newsletter article about how stars die because some things don't change rapidly.

Still. Dang.
My kid, who is going into high school and wants to pursue astrophysics, is getting a head start with @philplait.bsky.social's Crash Course series. It's wild that they're watching YouTube videos of the same guy I was reading 20 years ago.

They can be good artists or academics or activists. They can be a good parent or uncle or friend. They can be good teachers or ministers or doctors.

And still be abusers.

Sit with that cognitive dissonance.
A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro
"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.
