parenting classes should focus less on diapers and more on what to do when you’re sad but still have to pretend to be a tugboat

cops whine and bitch about risking their lives to defend people, and when a shooter shows up in what looks like (but isn't) body armor, they run & hide while a massacre unfolds. an unarmed teacher was brave enough to try.

A primer for journalists:
1. romance is a big tent genre, and includes both literary and escapist reads by the boat load
2. anyone who thinks they're doing something new in romance probably isn't
3. people who are doing interesting things tend to place themselves in the canon

Me watching some high fantasy shit: I would simply not be corrupted by the magical object. If it is actively harming you why don’t you just put it down. Idiot

I’m probably gonna die on this boring hill but: we need media literacy to be taught in K-12 and beyond. It needs to be part of how you learn to read and write at this point, how you consume, research, and communicate information. The stakes are too high to wait – at Seattle, WA

THREAD: I've worked in Hollywood for 20 years, and also helped them cast "Japanese" actors for the past few years. I watched up-close how racist they are when it comes to casting Japanese characters, and I cannot stay quiet anymore. 1/

A few have asked about our stance on NFTs:
NFTs are a scam. If you think they are legitimately useful for anything other than the exploitation of creators, financial scams, and the destruction of the planet the we ask that please reevaluate your life choices.
Peace ✌️

In the Pfizer vaccine trial for 5- to 12-year-olds, there were 4,647 participants and only 5 "severe adverse events," none of them related to the vaccine.
The best of them, BY FAR:

I know I’m, like, 50 years behind on DUNE Discourse, but have we talked about how “Duncan Idaho” is totally a porn name? Especially when attached to Jason Momoa?

When police resign instead of following this very easy rule, just imagine how many codes of conduct they routinely break, how important it is to their occupational identity that they obey no civilian authority.

To the Members of Congress who bring so much energy to means testing programs so that not one “extra” person gets assistance:
Where’s that energy for billionaires and corporations not paying anything in taxes?
Or is this not actually about being “fiscally responsible” 🤔

as per usual, every time I read an explanation of NFTs I think "well, my understanding of this can't be right, because that's too ridiculous and pointless, I must be missing SOMETHING" but no I am understanding it, it's just that they're THAT ridiculous and pointless
