"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

Friends and colleagues,
Please encourage your undergraduate students to apply for our 3rd annual summer REU program centered on the interdisciplinary study of race, power, and the politics of place, all set within the context of the dynamic and vibrant American South.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

I remember flipping through teen vogue growing up in the middle of no where Mississippi, and I was planning on having my Sociology of Gender students write an op-ed style piece designed for Teen Vogue readers as their final assignment next semester. This is a major loss for young women.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This is an excellent piece from @georgianndavis.bsky.social on the wave of anti-scientific censorship sweeping the country and what it means to teach honestly in the moment.
Contributor: I'm an intersex professor. Am I supposed to lie by teaching 'only male and female'?
A campaign against teachers who acknowledge realities of human biology forces a choice: Teach truth and risk your job, or lie and maybe keep it.

Honestly, this is why we need a qualitative data lab. People are dunking on these folks or calling them stupid but they are *reasoning about politics* and in similar ways, it’s just really difficult to decipher & we don’t have the long form interview data at scale that we would need to get insight.

Despite what some Democratic consultants suggest, the pro-democracy party’s first question shouldn’t be, “Does stopping fascism poll well?”

A 🧵 I hope inspires:

In April, Mississippi passed HB 1193, one of the most Draconian anti-DEI laws in the country.

The law aims to prevent public schools, colleges, and their employees from “engaging” in divisive concepts.

Obsessed with this thread/substack. A must read for anyone studying campaign finance/electoral politics.
Mothership update: ActBlue announced reforms. Some PACs say they’ve ditched Mothership but kept the predatory spam tactics. The DCCC and DSCC? Radio silence. The problem is much bigger than one firm.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Whenever I think of Putnam, I think of a quote from a mom I interviewed, who told me: "The last thing I need is another email from my employer, telling me to invest in a little self-care."
What Putnam misses is that we're struggling to form community because we've been forced to DIY society. Without unions or a decent safety net, most Americans are caught in precarity and have to put so much energy into paid work and unpaid care for family that they have nothing left for community.

My 10-year-old told me she wants to start getting more "first-hand news." So, we signed her up for @teenvogue.com's newsletters, because I can't imagine a better source for young people trying to navigate the world right now.
