This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

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!

i don’t know who needs to hear this but when the news is a shit tornado, you don’t have to stand in it. find your storm shelter — friends, family, pets, TV, music, books, whatever — and escape when you need to, please and thank you.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

NEW: I spoke with the Texas inmate who was put in solitary confinement after a GoFundMe for her sick prison cat went viral. While she's since been returned to regular housing, she and her longtime friend worry that more retaliation could be on the way.

A Texas inmate's cat fundraiser went viral. Solitary confinement followed.

What’s remarkable is that we seem to shell out tax dollars for everything under the sun—ICE detention facilities, subsidies for multimillion dollar corporations, scholarships for Catholic schools—until it’s time to actually help a regular person who is suffering.

I have to tell a story about this. My great uncle, Jimmy Perrone, fought Hitler in WWII and then came back to our hometown and married Adeline Liguori, my grandfather’s sister. Adeline died of cancer in the early 1980s and Uncle Jim went through a depression. 1/x
And again, this is why I block doomers. You wanna roll over and die? Fine, but I’m not climbing in the grave with you.
My grandpa, who escaped Hitler, who watched his family get shoved into cattle cars (and whose sister was literally separated from her mother by Mengele), had a refrain: "hope, hope, hope."

Try to carry this fwd. It's hard, yes, but do it bc what choice do we have?

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Dear Legacy Media -

ICE’s invasion of Minneapolis is not a “crackdown,” which implies lawlessness by citizens. It’s an authoritarian takeover of a US city by federal troops with zero compunction about violating the Constitution or local laws.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

It says a lot about our political media environment that Democrats are called upon to defend things they never said and Republicans are allowed to emerge unscathed for things they're literally recorded saying.

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.

not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.
my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

Just trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except the Pope, maybe in Rome
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
