Hi! Since others are talking about my book, thought I'd share a little about it. The book is a love letter to women everywhere wondering why their time just isn't adding up. It turns out, it's not you! We are getting massively squeezed by structural changes! 🧵

I think it's pretty newsworthy that this story starts with someone who *waited in Mexico* until his asylum apt in the US, during which he was detained, then jailed for 6months + sent to CECOT. Being kidnapped and disappeared to torture camps is supposed to be something that happens "over there."

We need to read this. People need to understand. Antisemitism IS actually an urgent threat, but the crisis point isn't campus protests.
From the right-wing Manhattan Institute's focus group of Gen Z conservatives -- just jaw-dropping stuff. We have a very sick society. www.city-journal.org/article/manh...

I yearn for the day we can have debates about commonsense policy solutions needed to avoid hyperinflation versus slashing entitlements. This Romney op-ed made me wistful for THIS actually being the relevant discussion. (And it's surprisingly good. Gift link.)

Loved talking to Noah, one of my favorite commentators, about my book!!
I interviewed @corinnelow.com about her book Having It All, and how sexism and men's unwillingness to do domestic chores and childcare puts a lot of constraints on what women can in fact have. Important to recognize that and make decisions accordingly! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/how-women-...

This is a very good explanation. "I think the first strike was actually also illegal."
Also "it would take them like 20 stops to refuel to make it to America" seems like an important detail to rebut the claim that these strikes are responding to any kind of "clear and present danger."

All I want for Christmas is policies with a high MVPF. Funded by taxes. Instead of whatever Michael Dell feels like doing with his money.
Or **and hear me out**, we could do the boring, normal thing where we tax rich people and fund public programs that help everyone.
Infinitely preferable to outsourcing social policy to whichever billionaire feels whimsical this week.

Consensus is AI mixed up Ariana and Cynthia in the transcript and this is so DEEPLY disrespectful to readers, who are paying money to actually get Cynthia's insights and perspective--if not in her voice then AT LEAST from real interviews her ghostwriter conducted!!!
Here's something weird my neighbor Cassie pointed out: Chapter 42 of Cynthia Erivo's recently released book "Simply More" is almost verbatim words spoken by Ariana Grande in an interview a year ago. Grande is not cited or listed as a contributor or attributed in the book in any way. Weird!

Well done. The key context here is that he was using his status within the profession to harass women (to be very clear, to extract sex in exchange for career opportunities, which he spelled out in emails to his buddy Jeffrey Epstein). SO GROSS.

I still think about this thread. Did a deep dive into three-cueing. University educators need to understand what's happening with K-12. (And, can you imagine as a parent not knowing that your kids are being taught to read improperly? Entrusting them to school every day only for them to...not learn?)
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

This. You are saying your **medical faculty** are not best fit to determine appropriate patient care.
Either Northwestern was not previously providing the care they thought was in the best interest of children or they have agreed to stop providing the best care when faced with extortion. The behavior is shameful and unfit for a university or a medical provider.

Yes exactly! Don't feel bad like you're not supporting authors if you use the library. You totally are & we're grateful!
Ooh, I feel that. But! The more that we use our libraries, the better funded they become, and they *do* pay for their books (including e-books!), so the author is still being paid for their work and you're supporting the librarians and excellent people who work right there in your community <3

Northwestern is paying $75 million to the treasury and banning gender affirming care for minors. Is this the storied academic freedom I've heard so much about????
