I need a netflix/hulu con woman mini series on Barbosa. But we know we won't get it because we like our fraudsters white and thin. www.wired.com/story/prisci...

She Made $10,000 a Month Defrauding Apps like Uber and Instacart. Meet the Queen of the Rideshare Mafiawww.wired.com Priscila Barbosa came to the US with a dream of making it. Using gig-economy platforms she built a business empire up from nothing. There was just one huge problem.

Me trying to jazz up my writing with haphazard commas.

A jazz musician once told me “If I make a mistake while performing I make sure to do it at least twice more, so people will assume I’m just being avant garde.”

Case in point:

I think the reason we’ve been so surprised to see such astute analysis coming from these magazines is that we assume that they are mostly concerned with frivolous things. But it’s not a coincidence that both of these magazines have a predominantly female audience.

People taking its place alongside Teen Vogue as the best political analysis in the country.

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.

Organizations use marginalized folks, and their work, to provide cover for their shitty practices all the time. In some fields, it's almost a condition of employment. For example, in higher education, I had to offer up the "gift" of my Blackness to the institution as a condition of employment.

Those first 2 months are torture. Especially if you've suffered pregnancy loss in the past. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy! 💫

Me: stop being racist Them: block Ok 🙄

Stop being racist.

Why is it on him to save the world? You're being so racist right now you can't even see it. So you're saying it's safe to harass Black users on this site? What is wrong with you?

I hate y'all so much

Ah, another day that ends in Y where yt people are harassing the crap out of Black people.

I also tie this to the conciergification of US culture. Blackness as Door Dash, constantly consumed, commodified, and expected to "serve" - Fury at the Black people who refuse to be consumed or to do what non-Black people want. We live in the non-Black imaginary as tokenized servants.

Being on this app, which I mostly like, has been a masterclass in learning about the ways white liberals and progressives consistently disrespect black people “for our own good.” You insist you know what’s better for us and how we should live while shirking responsibility for your bullshit.

Ah, another day that ends in Y where yt people are harassing the crap out of Black people.

Ok but where are your replies to white NYT journalists telling them to quit their jobs? I'm gonna need receipts.

2025 is in like eleven years...oh wait

This is why I am becoming more anti-car culture. Drivers are more reckless and dangerous than ever.

Congestion pricing now. gothamist.com/news/cars-pr...

Cars prove far deadlier than guns in NYC so far this yeargothamist.com City data shows 127 people were killed by drivers across the five boroughs during the first six months of 2024, about 55% more than the 82 who were fatally shot over the same period.

Every time I make a post critiquing gender roles and socialization of children on the mommy-boards it gets banned. 😅🤔

Millennial moms are HEAVILY invested in continuing cis-sexism and misogyny.

Entertainment media really needs to be striving for #1 always.

There are 3 main types of Native Representation. 1. Authentic Native Representation: Native created and led narratives and medias by and for Natives through a cultural lens, can include collaborations with non-Native creatives if it is Native led (see PREY).

“Researchers, advocates and survivors have long preferred the term ‘image-based sexual abuse’ to describe the variety of ways sexually explicit imagery can be weaponized. Often laws use more precise language like ‘intimate visual depiction.’”

They’re crimes — so why do we keep calling them ‘porn’?19thnews.org When we use outdated terms like 'revenge porn,' we blur the line between consensual entertainment and abuse.

The Fawn response is a good point to bring in! I doubt even if they know this they will still grasp at any reason to release Gaiman of any accountability.

That will be so helpful! After we just had our baby my partner had to go back and do laundry because we didn't have any clean clothes when we came home.
