if you ever wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep, I recommend petting a cat it won't necessarily help you sleep but they like it a lot and it'll make you feel better about being awake

And whites quickly realized that when they’re not bored at home, they don’t care about Black people at all.

Oh yeah, capitalism quickly realised that giving people time at home to think about things was Bad ™️ so we better all get back to work

Can confirm! The "n choose 2" numbers (triangular) are probably the right ones and do grow quadratically

To expect Black America to care about the same things politically or move politically as the white mainstream is silly by now. Not only are our threats far more severe, but they're also completely ignored by the white mainstream. They've been ignoring us the whole time, & are loud & wrong now.

Last summer I read This Is How You Lose The Time War in a hammock while camping, and I've been chasing that high ever since. What books should I bring to the woods with me this month? Let's assume I already know about Bujold, Martine, Pratchett, Leckie, and Chambers.

Social media from a shark’s perspective: Instagram: Here are photos of seals I ate Facebook: My high school friends eat bigger seals than me and I’m jealous LinkedIn: My skills include eating seals. Twitter: Why do (((dolphins))) control the world?

In Macron's very mild defence, a lot of leftists are surprised how quickly the left united

Lot of questions about why Macron called snap elections. One clear factor: By ordering speed campaign, he expected Left could not unite, & so they'd be knocked out in Round 1, helping his own party. Instead, Left united within days—& now surged to win biggest bloc in Assembly.

Elementary is a) the best Sherlock adaptation, and b) such an absolute delight to watch, 10000/10 do watch highly rec (ALSO has Lucy Liu dressed like this and come on COME ON)

ELEMENTARY has dropped on Hulu (was it there before and I hadn’t seen it?) and as I’m busted with COVID, I’m indulging. The pilot’s a masterclass, the show’s an A+ example of procedural writing, balancing the serialization and B plots.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

I once saw someone from Tumblr say, to paraphrase briefly, the Paradox of Tolerance resolves when we think of it as a social contract. The unspoken agreement is that we don't actively harm others. When anyone chooses to be intolerant, they've broken the contract, so it no longer applies to them.
